ou know, the ones where the acting is rubbish, the score is cheesy and the budget is nearly non-existent.<\/p>\n

These are the films that never make it to the big screen and go directly to the bargain bins \u2013 they\u2019re hilarious when they shouldn\u2019t be and so poorly made that it\u2019s comical.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s getting harder to source these flicks as video stores close and everything moves online, which is why the Edinburgh B-Team is set to return after a ten-month hiatus to give addicts their weekly bad movie fix.<\/p>\n

Organiser Cameron Smart said the free Monday night screenings, including popcorn, wound up in December when the projector in the basement of Jekyll and Hyde in Hanover Street gave up the ghost.<\/p>\n

Keen regulars urged him to launch a Kickstarter<\/a> to raise funds for a new projector and within three days the online crowdfunding campaign had reached the \u00a3250 target.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old postal worker began going to the weekly screening to meet people when he moved to the capital about five years ago.<\/p>\n

He eventually ended up directing the screenings and being tasked with reviving the night, which was attended by about 30 people each week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re definitely hoping to have it up before Halloween because there are so many bad horrors out there,” he said.<\/p>\n
