Some Girls (1969)

MASTER PLAN: utilize female robots and a sonic weapon. Some do satisfy you and they do mystify you, there’s no doubt about it. This follow-up to the James Bond-type thriller “Deadlier Than the Male” features the return of investigator Hugh…

Mean Mother (1974)

“Mean Mother” is very different from those other exploitation films of the 70’s. This one takes place in Europe. It’s about two Vietnam war buddies who go AWOL and go to Europe; the African-American goes to Spain, the Caucasian goes…

River of Death (1989)

After a first attempt at finding the Lost City had failed and ended up with the woman he loved being captured and her father being murdered, adventurer Josh Hamilton is about to go back and conduct a very daring rescue…

Shock ‘Em Dead (1991)

The delectable Traci Lords stars in this tatty and at times crude, but rather amusing heavy metal rock comic b-grade shot-on-video horror item. Even with its minor budget, there’s so much enthusiasm and creativity streaming through it that I found…

The Love Factor (1969)

Kicking off the sporadic genre of British comedies that served up softcore nudity with sci-fi trimmings, 1969’s Zeta One was itself based on a short lived photo-magazine that obsessed on models scantily dressed in futuristic clothes. At its liveliest the…

The Blade Master (1984)

I mean, you just have to love the Italian film industry. Someone came up with a post-doomsday action movie (“Road Warrior”) and the Italians were busy for years doing one rip-off after another. Then some other one came up with…

Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary (1975)

More exploitation than horror, MARY, MARY, BLOODY MARY is a visual treat. Not only because the leading lady, Cristina Ferrare, is downright gorgeous but the Mexico location offers an abundance of locales providing eclectic situations to keep the viewer interested…

Dr. Orloff’s Invisible Monster (1970)

pparently, the Orloff name was strong and universal enough to be dealt with by hands other than Jess Franco’s, who created him (like, say, Dr. Mabuse, whom the notorious Spanish film-maker eventually got to grips with himself). As for The…

$elfie Shootout – Coming January 2016

Two young and broke guys concoct an online contest scheme to get sexy females to submit their selfie for $15 a pop. They start by offering a $1,000 cash prize but as things go wrong and expenses balloon they ultimately…

Messiah of Evil (1973)

DEAD PEOPLE (also known as MESSIAH OF EVIL, the version I saw) is a rather artistic and unusual little horror movie. The zombies in this case are flesh eaters, but the exact cause of zombification is a century-old curse upon…

Prison Heat (1993)

The story is set in Turkey and involves a group of young female tourists who are falsely imprisoned on drug trafficking charges without receiving a trial and are maliciously raped and sodomized by sadistic prison guards. The hidden message I…

Cathy’s Curse (1977)

Also known as CATHY’S CURSE, this movie was apparently an attempted cash-in on the popularity of horror movies featuring telekinetic and/or possessed young girls in the 1970’s, such as THE EXORCIST and CARRIE. This is one strange flick, and the…

Project X (1968)

The “X” in “Project X” (1968) may well stand for the X in Matrix. In this story, set 150 years after 1968, Christopher George is a spy whose memory has been wiped clean after his capture by an Asian empire…

Movie Manners

Manners At The Movies It went to a screening yesterday, (a full house of 625) of the emerging classic Christmas film ELF. In observing the audience it became more than apparent that many folks have forgotten how to behave in…

Don’t Go in the Woods (1981)

It’s hard to know where to start; the acting is abhorrent, even by badfilm standards. The ‘actors’ frequently talk over each other, repeat lines ad infinitum (one actress makes her way through the entire film with the words huh? and…

Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time (1991)

It was made for kids and teens of the late 80ies or early 90ies and as such it was truly a film of it’s time. If you hated that period, or love the first movie so much that you can’t…

The Puppet Masters (1994)

Unfortunate enough to share a name with a brand of dirt-cheap Charles Band movies (but completely disconnected from them) I always figured that The Puppet Masters would be just as schlocky. It ain’t art, but it is decent, low-brow, brainless…

Slayer (1991)

his movie is about how some boy scouts find some weapons in a house in the forest.And they take them out side so they can take them to the cops to be hero’s.But they decided to hide them outside the…

Dangerous Charter (1962)
