Detour – Hell’s Highway
Lesbo 1 and Lesbo 2 are driving across the desert on their way to some sort of "killer" rave when from out of nowhere a huge gloppy bloody mass splatters their windshield and causes them to mildly "crash" into a tumbleweed. In a feeble attempt to assess the problem, Lesbo 1 exits the car only to notice some sort of a Hellboy lookalike with a dual-hooked contraption strapped to his hand come stumbling along. Lesbo 1 thinks she can intimidate him into... [Read More...]
ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction
In a nutshell, it's safe to say that if zombies are the subject matter, I am drooling. It's also safe to say that based on my affinity for B movies, it does not take much to impress me. Meaning it can be a pretty gawd awful movie and 9 out of 10 times, s'long as zombies are involved, I'm gonna love it. Unfortunately that is not the case with this movie and I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am that the AfterDark release of ZMD: Zombies of... [Read More...]
The Beastmaster – “B” at it’s Best
There are certain movies that I can watch repeatedly - to the point where the DVD/VHS needs to be replaced due to extreme signs of usage - and never tire of them. Movies like The Wedding Singer, that is so ridiculous, and 80's and yet speaks to me on so many levels. Movies like Wrong Turn (cannibalism at its finest); Quintin Tarantino's Death Proof (review to follow) or The Faculty, where you have a bunch of freaky high school kids who are just trying...

C.H.U.D
B-movies. Who doesn’t love them? With their D-list actors delivering solid B characters, and a cheese factor that would make any wine lover drool…. Who cares if the story line is unrealistic and downright ridiculous? I for one don’t; I enjoy the hell out of it! C.H.U.D., a wonderful lil' gem considered a cult classic from 1984, starts out just almost like every other horror movie of the 70’s and 80’s, offering up a victim within the first... [Read More...]
Diary of the Dead
George A Romero is another one of my favorite directors. He has a fetish for zombies much like I do, and that usually translates to a good film. I confess I have been hesitant to watch Diary of the Dead. The whole "film within a film" aspect is a bit tiresome to me and not very effective. While I did enjoy Cloverfield which also used the same gimmick, I did not enjoy the Blair Witch Project, the movie that really put the concept on the map. It makes... [Read More...]
Texas Chainsaw IV (cuz 3 wasn’t enough!)
Back in 1994 a couple of no name actors decided to hook up with an equally no name low budget writer (Kim Henkel) who decided to make his directorial debut with yet another installment in the Chainsaw series. I might also add that this debut was his ONLY directorial effort. Never heard of him? Neither have I. But I have heard of the two no name actors in this installment: Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger. Talk about an odd combination! So the... [Read More...]
The Creeps come out at night…
If you make it past the first 5 minutes where the "aliens" are setting up the plot, you might get a good chuckle or two out of Night of the Creeps. The problem with the beginning is that these aliens are obviously little midget people in fat suits running around in a manner that implies they might be searching for the short bus. There is dissension among their ranks, and just before it gets bloody, one of the aliens expels something that looks like... [Read More...]
Troma’s 1986 “Class of Nuke ‘Em High”
Unless you've been living under a rock, I'm willing to bet you've heard the name "Troma" - a name that is synonymous with B-film. Some might even dare to say Troma Entertainment is the king of B. Would they be right? Well - as my mother likes to say, "that's why they have chocolate AND vanilla - cuz not everyone likes the same thing." [Read More...] Share this post! Read More →
