She (1984)
This is exactly what bad movies are supposed to be: a magnificent accident; bizarre; terrible dialog; insipid acting; but most importantly, uncontrived. Not like that Troma crap. Troma wishes its movies were bad, but all I see are contrivances: people…
Caveman (1981)
Some have been a bit harsh with this little film and totally missed the point. We all know that dinosaurs and man didn’t coexist but that is beside the point. This film refuses to take itself seriously and why should…
Man Crazy (1953)
Man Crazy is a 1953 American film directed by Irving Lerner and starring Neville Brand. It was the first film from Security Pictures, the production company of Philip Yordan and Sidney Harmon. Three girls steal some money and head for…
Pumpkinhead (1988)
In the countryside, the quiet hick Ed Harley (Lance Henriksen) raises his beloved son Billy alone, working in his grocery on the side of the road. When three couples from the big city stop off at his store to buy…
World Without End (1956)
There are many existing comments in regards to this particular film and most of them are quite similar and accurate, therefore there is not too much new substantial information left to be offered. I would just like to express and…
Guerra sucia (1984)
Paul, a mercenary in Africa, decides that he can no longer work for the Organization because of their brutal tactics. But the evil Organization refused to release him, and Paul finds that he must fight his way out.
A Digital Tsunami: Theaters In A Digital Age
There are things that change you and impact you in a way that forever alters perspective and actions. There was a book that was published in 1995 that did that for me. “Being Digital” by MIT Media Lab Head Nicholas…
The Photographer (1974)
Awesomely bad movie. The mention of Sage Stallone buying the rights in perpetuity are correct, that he “was such a fan” may be a cover story… …industry gossip from “back in the day” said that Harold J. Stone (It might…
Candyman (1992)
Candyman’ is a very frightening and yet intriguing and compelling movie that plays upon and cleverly manipulates old urban legends and myths of folklore and brings to life some of your worst nightmares and horrors. As far as scary movies…
Black Lolita (1975)
The 3-D Vision “Wildcat Women” would give even the most astute spectator a difficult time comprehending its plot direction. In summary, a young black girl’s (who mysteriously shafeshifts throughout “key” moments)uncle is murdered by a group of hoodlums, headed by…
Future Force (1989)
A bevy of curiously pot bellied actors (including an especially out of shape David Carradine) feature in this mildly enjoyable romp from the ever prolific, David A Prior. Well, first things first – it has to be said that this…
The Old Dark House (1932)
Tales about sinister, creepy mansions were already clichéd by the time director James Whale directed THE OLD DARK HOUSE–and instead of presenting the piece as a straight-forward thriller he mixed the film’s very atmospheric cinematography with a wild strain of…
Secret of the Incas (1954)
“Secret of the Incas” (1954) is, with out a doubt, a truly rip-roaring adventure movie. It shares uncanny resemblance too with “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and other Indiana Jones films. But I am not going to go into this…
Eliminators (1986)
OK….. mix in a bit of Frankenstein, some time travel and the potential damage of meddling with the past, a ninja (!) a materialistic, seemingly selfish but actually kind hearted charter boat captain (shades of Han Solo anyone?) and a…
House of Dark Shadows (1970)
The film is based on the unquestioned most popular segment of the old daytime TV series, “Dark Shadows”. For those that don’t know…”Dark Shadows” was a struggling 60s daytime soap opera concerning the dulling exploits of a boorish super rich…
Indestructible Man (1956)
Shooting in the real grimy, mean streets of downtown L.A. not only saved money but added a neo-film noir realism to everything. Lon picks up some quick pocket money playing Charles “Butcher” Benton (we are never told how he got…
Moon 44 (1990)
No, I’m not really a “fan” of Emmerich. That wouldn’t be the right word. And yes, his films tend to strain credulity so much that it risks breaking. But let’s admit it… he makes good popcorn flicks(with the exception of…
Creature with the Atom Brain (1955)
Released by Columbia Pictures in 1955 and without trying to mention it’s low budget format, Creature with the Atom Brain is quite a sophisticated attempt to resurrect the dead using atomic energy and electronic circuitry. The idea of using a…
Valley of Head Hunters (1953)
In the 12th of the “Jungle Jim” series from Sam Katzman’s production unit at Columbia, Jim (Johnny Weissmuller) is assigned to accompany a government agent into the interior to get the native’s approval for copper mining. Unknown to Jim, Arco…
House of 1000 Corpses (2003)
Writer/director Rob Zombie’s music has always had a kind of comic book/horror movie sensibility which he translates into his screen project, a tribute to the pioneering take-no-prisoners classics of the 1970’s like “The Hills Have Eyes” and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,”…
