Danger: Diabolik (1968)
Unbelievable! The majority of comment-authors here on this site haven’t got the slightest clue how far the brilliance of this film reaches…Here you have one of the coolest, most ingenious productions ever, and they’re calling it “awful” and an ideal…
The Stepmother (1972)
I like weird 70’s movies a lot, but this is weird even by weird 70’s standards. It takes about half the movie, for instance, to even figure out why it’s CALLED “The Stepmother”–it, at first, seems to be a movie…
Death Machines (1976)
Fans of trashy, bad 1970s cinema gather ’round. I’ve found a real winner – Death Machines. Calling Death Machines “so bad it’s good” doesn’t begin to explain how deliriously enjoyable this movie truly is. Sure, it’s bad – in fact…
Horror High (1973)
HORROR HIGH is not a good movie but what it lacks in an engaging plot, three- dimensional characters, and technical skill it makes up for in low-budget charm and bloody messes. It’s the formulaic paint-by-numbers story of a weakling being…
Guilt (1965)
About a young couple who accidentally by car run over someone and kill him. The victim turns out to be an escapee from an asylum for the mentally ill.”GUILT” is the finger-pointing title of the virtually two-character Swedish film that…
Superchick (1973)
The name “cult movie” is often given to films which continue to be screened, or to sell in home movie format, more than a generation after they were first released. Superchick, which was first released in 1973, now comes into…
Five the Hard Way (1969)
“Vince Rommel” (Ross Hagen) is a motorcycle mechanic who enjoys racing and is soon to be married to his fiancé “Rita” (Diane McBain). Then one morning a man named “J.C.” (Michael Pataki) comes to his shop and asks if he…
The Dirty Half Dozen (1976)
This movie is basically The Dirty Dozen (1967) but with a gang of bad girls instead of a platoon of bad boys. All-in-all, not a bad idea for a movie in my book. Set during World War II, we have…
Tobe Hooper, Director Of ‘Chain Saw Massacre,’ Dies At 74
Hooper was a little-known, barely-funded filmmaker when he made the movie that echoed through the horror genre for years to come. In 2004, Texas Monthly magazine reported on the movie’s improbable production (and lasting financial woes.) The production crew was…
Blood of Dracula’s Castle (1969)
This movie opens with a woman (Vicki Volante, a Joan Baez lookalike) driving along listening to her car radio. The song, “The Next Train Out” is so catchy I went around singing it for days after I had first seen…
Nine Deaths of the Ninja (1985)
As one who pretends to have benefitted from a post-graduate education, I am almost ashamed of my love for this, the best/worst of the Ninja flicks. And while Ninja films are no longer in vogue among the “militia in training…
Blue Steel (1934)
What’s the best way for a bandit to maintain a low profile? How about making noise while robbing a safe, leaving behind an identifying spur, and wearing a polka dot neckerchief. Yakima Canutt is Danti, the Polka Dot Bandit in…
Malibu Express (1985)
I believe that in order to enjoy an Andy Sidaris movie, you must be a REALLY undemanding viewer, accepting that story-telling takes a back seat to showing as much bare female flesh as possible along with a fair amount of…
The Bees (1978)
This must be the funniest bad film of modern times, a real 1970s counterpart of Ed Wood’s earlier classics. It features some awful acting and fluffed lines by the unforgettable cast featuring those B-movie veterans John Saxon and John (Star…
The Velvet Vampire (1971)
At first, this looks to be another of the “erotic vampire” movies that were so popular in the 1970’s, especially in Europe. But this American movie is actually quite different from Hammer’s “Carnstein trilogy”, the Rollins and Franco vampire films,…
Fast Times At AMC High
Here is a simple fact, Hollywood does not play with it’s own money. It uses hedge funds, foreign tax shelters etc. All all costs will always look to spend someone else’s money to make their own profit. The most famous…
Tintorera: Killer Shark (1977)
This is the great film “Jaws” might have been but wasn’t, Scenes with sharks are real. There are no mechanical stand-ins for the sharks. The characters change throughout the first half of this work but soon enough the central characters,…
Good Morning… and Goodbye! (1967)
Good Morning… and Goodbye! is one of the movies from Russ Meyer’s soap opera period. It isn’t really a comedy as such; it’s more of an extremely over-the-top melodrama. It’s basically about a rich but impotent husband (Stuart Lancaster from…
Strippers vs Werewolves (2012)
There have been some really zany over the top horror comedies come along over the last few years bust most focused on the zombie craze with films like Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, and Zombie Strippers, but finally someone has…
Barbarian Queen (1985)
Most barbarian flicks are ONLY as good as their damsels in distress, or if you’re REAL lucky, their damsels who INFLICT distress. This Argentina-lensed epic boasts BOTH and sets its tone right off when a blonde waif (Dawn Dunlap), absently…
