2020 Texas Gladiators (1983)

Joe D’Amato, mostly known for his sleazy and downright nauseating horror flicks like “Buried Alive”, “Anthropophagus” and “Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals”, joins his contemporary Italian colleagues in making over- the-top cheesy and ridiculous post-nuclear Science Fiction movies! The trend…

Alice, Sweet Alice (1976)

Alice sweet Alice is a movie with a very eerie feel to it, which in part is due from the atmosphere and the low-budget. Though Brooke Shields gets top billing she’s not in the film too long plus she’s pre…

The Wild, Wild Planet (1966)

Like Plan Nine From Outer Space (which is only slightly worse), Wild Wild Planet is an absolute must-see if only for the unintentional laughs and the I-Can’t-Believe-This-Got-Released reaction. The “City of the Future” set is so obviously a model that…

Switchblade Sisters (1975)

“Switchblade Sisters” is one of the most awesome and amusingly incompetent trash/gangsploitation movies ever made; only back in the period when it got released nobody ever intended to make a bad film, of course. Personally, I enjoyed the privilege of…

Evil Laugh (1986)

Evil Laugh isn’t particularly original or special but it’s entertaining enough for a slasher film and has some decent death scenes. I think the lack of originality was what spoilt it for me, it’s the same old routine of having…

Sonny Chiba’s Dragon Princess (1976)

Sonny was the next best thing out there besides Bruce. i’ve seen this movie back in the 80’s, and i loved it. sonny is in the movie enough to make an impact. but the problem is when it came out,…

Hollywood Drives Off A Cliff

Things are more than confusing. AMC’s stock has risen to record levels (with really no rationale behind it). Its esteemed CEO decided to have an online interview not wearing pants. People are making it a big deal, frankly, I empathize…

The Phantom of the Opera (1983)

This TV film of the novel by Gaston Leroux won’t win any awards but it’s still worth seeing. Maximillan Schell is good but he tends to ham it up a little, especially when he becomes the Phantom. The makeup job…

Galaxina (1980)

If you take this movie as camp, and don’t expect any deep “filme discovere” nuances, you will have a helluva good time! There are many quotable lines, so if you watch it with a bunch of friends, you may find…

Apache Woman (1976)

“Apache Woman” is a low budget Italian rip-off based quite obviously on Ralph Nelson’s “Soldier Blue”, but it is not a bad movie. Al Cliver has hardly been in many better ones, and he stars as the soldier who is…

It Follows (2014)

This is a movie that was light on the jump scares, which is a delightful change of pace. In the past few years more and more horrors have relied on jump scares to make up for the true scariest part…
