For Y’ur Height Only (1981)
A 1979 Filipino movie filmed on a zero budget in Tagalog, and dubbed into English? Can it be worth watching? Absolutely. It’s about a small secret agent named 00 – really small – a dwarf about 3 feet tall, named…

Starship Invasions (1977)
part from his stint among the ensemble of AIRPORT ’77, 1977 was truly Annus Horribilis for Christopher Lee: his three genre efforts were easily among the worst exploitation outings of their vintage that I have come across! For the film…

Harbinger Down (2015)
In the sunken nightmare ship of Harbinger, Russian water-bears sleep waiting. Before I go and tell you about the movie experience, you should know that this film is a Kickstarter movie, with more than 350 thousand dollars coming from that…
The Glory Stompers (1967)
Excellent riding sequences and plenty of action made this a great movie to watch. You won’t see the excessive carnage that I saw in “The Savage Seven” and “The Losers” but this movie has more than enough brutality to qualify…
Mondo cane (1962)
he big daddy of the Mondo movies remains, nearly half a century after its release, one of the most entertaining, eye-popping, colourful, repulsive and challenging films ever made. A whirlwind compendium of colour documentary footage – some of it real,…

Summer peaked over the horizon in 1977 as I met a group of friends at the Uptown theatre to see a movie that a many of my fellow fifteen year old friends were abuzz about. A group of 7 of…
The Undead (1957)
I had long wanted to purchase the Region 2 DVD (it’s still M.I.A. in the U.S.) of this one, but somehow I kept postponing it – I remember there was some discussion whether the Fullscreen presentation here was the correct…
The Big Doll House (1971)
The Big Doll House was followed-up by The Big Bird Cage a year later. The two films do not follow on from each other; but are very similar in style and content. While this film is not quite as great…
The Fast and the Furious (1955)
This wonderful little picture proves that not every movie shot in black and white on a low budget in the early ’50’s, with plenty of cops, crooks, and guns is film noir. It starts out hinting that direction, though. Frank…
Friday Foster (1975)
I’m sure many fans used to the action-packed Pam Grier flicks must have hated this film when it came out. FRIDAY FOSTER doesn’t feature Grier kicking ass or cussing out a criminal, but does have a great cast, excellent acting…
Blood of Dracula (1957)
This is a vampire film, but it’s probably not a good idea to check it out for that reason alone, as the vampire material takes up relatively little screen time, it’s probably some of the weakest material in the film,…
Satan’s Cheerleaders (1977)
With all the movies that came out in the 70’s about satanic cults and sexy cheerleaders it was almost inevitable that someone would make a satanic cheerleader movie. It’s only surprising that it took so long. This movie starts out…
