Biohazard (1985)
Well, movie fans, it is not a question of whether you like or don’t like this movie – it is simply a question of wether you are into trash or not. Should you be one of the happy movie goers…
The Cosmic Monster (1958)
Interesting little British sci-fi movie about man’s attempt to create a powerful electro-magnetic energy generator that tares a hole in the fragile Iononasphere. This creates a massive bombardment of the Earth by deadly and radioactive Cosmic Rays that cause havoc…
The Crater Lake Monster (1977)
This movie is a great Drive-Inn 70’s Sci-Fi / Thriller I know most people give it bad comments though. Since it was supposed to take place at Crater Lake instead because of the low budget limitation it was filmed in…
Curse of the Faceless Man (1958)
Found in the ruins of ancient Pompeii is this mummified man with a box of jewelry buried next to him. It’s soon discovered by the eminent historian Dr. Emenuel,Felix Locher, of ancient Roman Greek and Egyptian times that the body…
Curse of the Demon (1957)
“Curse of the Demon” (aka “Night of the Demon”) is one of those weird little lost films that everyone agrees is wonderful and yet very few people seem to have actually seen. This is one of those rare British movies…
The Evil of Frankenstein (1964)
Having been exiled from Karlstaad, and with their creature gunned down on a mountaintop, The Evil Of Frankenstein opens with a now skint Baron (Cushing) and his apprentice Hans (Elès) moping around the forests like a Gothic Steptoe and Son,…
Hawk the Slayer (1980)
Yes, it’s time to travel back to the dying days of Lew Grade’s ITC Films, an age of darkness, of low-budgets and even lower-tech special effects, of bad acting and even worse writing: a world where clichés run rampant and…
Pieces(1982)
Thank you, Juan Piquer Simon! First I’m delighted by your wondrous “E.T.” rip off “Pod People”, then your amazing killer slug movie, the aptly titled “Slugs”. But now I’ve seen the one that tops those classics and then some: your…
Tarzan and the Amazons (1945)
TARZAN AND THE AMAZONS (RKO Radio, 1945), directed by Kurt Neumann, the first theatrical “Tarzan” release since 1943’s TARZAN TRIUMPHS and TARZAN’S DESERT MYSTERY, and the third installment under Sol Lesser productions for RKO starring Johnny Weissmuller, brings forth some…
Revenge of the Creature (1955)
In all fairness this movie should be judged for what it is …. a 1950’s B Monster movie flick. I give it high marks in this area. It may not have the shock and scare value as it predecessor “The…
Savage Sisters (1974)
‘Savage Sisters’ comes from the same period as the Jack Hill led Filipino “chicks in chains” flicks of the early 70s ( see ‘The Big Doll House’ and ‘The Big Bird Cage’ for the best of the genre). Hill wasn’t…
The Vault of Horror (1973)
What more could you ask for? This movie shines with a brilliant line-up of actors playing up the script for all it’s worth. Directed by Roy Ward Baker, VoH oozes with direction and style (see his filmography). Fans of classic…
War of the Colossal Beast (1958)
Even though this movie picks a less subtle approach than its predecessor “The Amazing Collosal Man”, this movie still works out as a rather good and enjoyable B-movie. Basically there is even less story than the last time and the…
ROGUE WARRIOR: ROBOT FIGHTER – Review
Written By: Keith Makenas Sci-fi fans have been down the machines attacking mankind before, but ROGUE WARRIOR: ROBOT FIGHTER has a story and visual impact on the audience that is distinctive from most other films of this type. ROGUE WARRIOR…
Jason and the Argonauts (1963)
Fans of Ray Harryhausen’s stop motion animation process will have a field day with JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS, which Harryhausen considered his best work. And certainly Harryhausen’s special effects are the highlight of this film, which is generally based on…
The Mole People (1956)
There is just enough ‘oomph’ to “Mole People” to mark it as a minor classic (50’s Universal B flick division). The idea of an lost ancient civilization sealed away from the modern world by time and catastrophe and buried far…
It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955)
When an atomic-powered submarine runs afoul of something most bizarre on their radar, its Commander Pete Matthews decides not to risk the $ 55 million dollar naval submarine he commands and tries to head out of the area but suddenly…

Teenage Cave Man (1958)
Teenage Caveman is an enjoyable Prehistoric adventure from Roger Corman and I taped this when BBC2 screened it during the early hours some years ago. A young caveman goes against warnings and decides to explore the land beyond the river…
Corpse Eaters (1974)
Producer Lawrence Zazelenchuk is the man behind this Canadian horror film, which was considered their first “gore” movie. In a pretty interesting story, the producer had two dreams in life. One was to own a drive-in, which he was able…
