Wild Wheels (1969)

Mindbogglingly stupid movie that has bikers (bad guys) battling beach-based dune buggy riders (good guys). Low budget garbage with ludicrous directing choices, howlingly bad writing and pointless story developments. No bonus points for spotting the boom mikes at the top…

Infra-Man (1975)

Let’s look at INFRA-MAN for what it is:a rollicking kung fu/biker/disaster/monster flick of the highest magnitude! If you love cheap chopsocky movies and guy-in-a-rubber suit films, this is a serious contender for the ultimate trashy movie. Out of it’s 88…

Thunder and Lightning (1977)

Fatuous, witless, disappointing Southern moonshine adventure, with Kate Jackson as the daughter of a soda pop king and manufacturer of poisoned whiskey; she and thrill-seeking boyfriend David Carradine attempt to stop of shipment of the bad booze but run afoul…

Alone in the Dark (2005)

Based on the Atari video game , the film starts with a lengthy opening text . In fact this long prologue was added after several test audience members said they were confused by the screenplay . In 1967 mine workers…

Killer Fish (1979)

Next to Joe Dante’s minor exploitation classic, this is already the second “Jaws”-rip off that revolves on piranhas, but the comparison stops right there with the mutual choice of killer fish as the sea monsters. Dante’s film is of course…

I guerrieri dell’anno 2072 (1984)

This eerie film is developed in an ancient and isolated castle and it takes place in 1795. . A just married couple goes home their grandparents during wedding night . As young Catherine just married Charles Fengriffen and moves into…

The Soldier (1982)

At the forefront of “80’s” action films. Better than anything Chuck Norris except maybe Delta Force? The vehicle (limo) ambush is great and the undercover agents are awesome. The silo takeover is hardcore and eye opening. I saw it young…

Evil Laugh (1986)

There are three types of bad movies: (a) the ones that are so bad they’re boring, (b) the ones that are intentionally bad in order to be funny, and (c) the ones that are so bad they are hilarious. No…

Killer Workout (1987)

Now this director knows how to sell sleaziness.Still a far cry from the Italian sleazy gialli but more than enough to give this bad movie the spice that it needs.Let there be no doubt about it.This movie is bad.Real bad.No,not…

The Glory of Movie Going

ext to me in the blackness lay my oiled blue-steel beauty. The greatest Christmas gift I had ever received… or would ever receive. Gradually, I drifted off to sleep, pranging ducks on the wing… and getting off spectacular hip shots….

Werewolf in a Girls’ Dormitory (1961)

This is, as you might expect, a movie about a werewolf in a girl’s dormitory (although technically the werewolf mostly hangs around in a forest outside the girl’s dormitory). The “girls” actually look to be about twenty-five on average and…

The Lift (1983)

It seems that Dick Maas’ De Lift has become a true horror gem over the years and I even picked up that it’s most wanted among cult-collectors. Well, here in the home countries (The Netherlands and Belgium) you can still…

Tarantula (1955)

This is a top-of-the-line Sci-Fi thriller from the studio that did ’em best in the 1950s – Universal-International. Produced by William Alland (who also produced “Creature From the Black Lagoon” and “It Came From Outer Space”, and directed by Jack…

Don’t Go in the House (1979)

The Boogey Man (1980)

More like a languid summer day dream. Boring story, limp film making, bad acting…just not much to brag about here. A young girl witnesses a murder and gets traumatized and her brother goes nuts and an evil spirit has possessed…
