Yor, the Hunter from the Future (1983)
I live for movies like YOR. Even without the Margheriti connection YOR would be high on my list of Coolest Movies Ever. Quite frankly it has everything: Giant dinosaur puppets, hot cave girls with oiled thighs, a funky rock music…
Crack in the World (1965)
It is hard to look at some movies as being little more then a list of clichés. A story about a group of scientists attempt to unlock what they hope will be a vast depositary of energy and minerals underneath…
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
I can’t quite find the words to even come close to describing the pure brilliance of this movie. When this movie was made, the western genre was dominated by the big hollywood studios. The western was taken by these studios…
High School Hellcats (1958)
In every decade since the birth of film has their been a flick about the dangers (for teens) of behaving contrary to established rules? Yes, and “High School Hellcats” falls into that genre. Acceptance by one’s peers is a big…
The Black Pit of Dr. M (1959)

Trog (1970)
Trog is set in England where three potholers Malcolm (David Griffin), Cliff (John Namil) & Bill (Geoffrey Case) discover a new cave entrance in some marsh land, they enter the cave & explore where Bill is killed by an ape…
Black Snake (1973)
Made one year before ILSA, SHE-WOLF OF THE SS, BLACKSNAKE could have easily been called SUSAN, SHE-WOLF OF THE PLANTATION and it probably inspired the producers behind the Nazi sexploitation epics to go ahead with their more infamous films because…
A Cat in the Brain (1990)
“Cat In The Brain” is a series of extremely violent sequences knitted together by a plot that feels more like an overview, describing director Lucio Fulci’s most notorious years of film-making. The movie could also be seen as a dark…
Spy in the Sky! (1958)
1958’s “Spy in the Sky!” was clearly inspired by the launching of Sputnik, but was beaten to the screen by Roger Corman’s “War of the Satellites.” A little seen and rather ordinary spy thriller with no sci fi elements, starring…
The Return of Count Yorga (1971)
Count Yorga (Robert Quarry) is living in a small town outside of San Francisco, where he becomes involved with an Orphanage, primarily as a source of victims. A tragic event leads persons from the orphanage to contact the local police,…
The Beach Girls and the Monster (1965)
“The Beach Girls and the Monster” features a clear shot of Sue Casey speaking on the phone during the trailer. With a boom mike above her. And the perch. The movie itself has a delightful scraping the barrel approach when…
X the Unknown (1956)
Often overlooked even by those who enjoy the sci-fi films of the fifties, “X The Unknown” is one of those sleepers that real afficionados will watch over and over. Starring Dean Jagger, the cast also features a very young Anthony…
The Way of the Dragon (1972)
If, like me, you have only seen Bruce Lee in the wonderful, but portentous, ENTER THE DRAGON, than you might be surprised by this quite potty earlier film. In ENTER THE DRAGON, Lee was amused, but sombre; a fighting machine,…
The Student Nurses (1970)
Four lovely young nurses in their last year of nursing school experience all kinds of turmoil and excitement in their lives: sweet Susan (winsome brunette Elaine Giftos) tries to comfort the bitter, terminally ill Greg (a moving performance by Darrell…

Young man’s Uncle dies in a car accident because he was having sex while driving. He leaves said nephew a fortune…provided he beds 7 selected women in 7 days. The catch? Young lad is a virgin. The actor playing the…
Superchick (1973)
Superchick is a bad movie lover’s dream. The plot is utterly ridiculous. Tara B. True (Joyce Jillson) is, by day, a mild mannered stewardess (they weren’t called flight attendants in the 70s) with a secret. Besides the long blond hair…
Grand Theft Auto (1977)
A young couple Sam and Paula are planning to be hitched, but when they confront Paula’s influential parents about it. They won’t have any of it, and beg her to marry the snobby, rich Colin. Instead she and Sam steal…

Horror of the Blood Monsters (1970) AKA SPACE MISSION TO A LOST PLANET
A ragged, befuddling palimpsest comprised from the detritus of no fewer than three unrelated pre-existing films, all shuffled together within a framework of “new” scenes(added, I suppose, to bring some degree of cohesion to the amalgamated mess at hand). Success?…
