Blacula (1972)
It seems that a lot of people dislike this film due to weak contextual restraints. Superficical gripes towards the actors’ fashions or the homosexual lampooning in the film are myopic at best. This film came out in 1972- before Halloween,…
The Land Unknown (1957)
This rip-roaring sci-fi adventure scores high marks in several categories. The story concerns four people whose helicopter lands in an unknown prehistoric valley, a freak temperate zone located thousands of feet below sea level in the Antarctic, kept warm by…

Varan the Unbelievable (1962)
“Varan the Unbelievable” was an American-produced adaptation of the material, similar to the American adaptation of the original Godzilla (Gojira, 1954). Varan was originally to be a joint US/Japanese production, but that deal fell through. Toho, the Japanese production company,…
Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens (1979)
Russ Meyer’s films may be silly and irreverent, but they’re also great fun, and while Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens is not his best work, it’s still great fun to watch and certainly comes recommended to Meyer’s fans! In…
The Flickering Light of B Movies And The Drive-in

Battletruck (1982)
his is one of those very few 80’s post-apocalyptic/wastelands themed movies that I can actually agree on being a very serious genre-effort (as in: It doesn’t go shamelessly over-the-top) and even a good movie in general. I don’t really understand…
