505,093 | 2,911,571 | 96,177 | 1 | Still born | The premise of this film is interesting , only once that premise is established then the film wanders off into the sunset long before the run time is over . The idea is that there's some lunatic running around some nameless big city killing derelicts and leaving their bodies to be found in arty settings , with the init... |
505,068 | 2,911,571 | 471,011 | 1 | Lock the windows . Bar the doors . Draw the blinds . Don't let this one in . | There used to be a certain naivety in low-budget horror back in , oh , maybe the 70's & 80's . A film could be earnest and yet not very good , and perhaps with some unintentional entertainment value ( like laughs ) . Seems like those days are gone forever as up-and-coming " directors " can turn out seemingly " serious ... |
505,663 | 2,911,571 | 280,672 | 1 | beating a very dead horse | Just when you thought everyone was done ripping off " Scream " , along comes Final Stab , which again proves that David DeCoteau hasn't an original idea in his head . Yet another movie populated by rich pretty-boy pretty-girl types , and the queen bitch Angela ( as she refers to herself ) has an idea for a staged bunch... |
504,181 | 2,911,571 | 473,553 | 1 | This will leave you down in the mouth | Stephen J . Cannell apparently decided a few years ago that he would broaden his horizons and dabble in horror . The result , " Dead Above Ground " , is an abysmal piece of junk . Now , had I noticed his name in association with THIS particular film I'd have put it back but no , I didn't have my glasses on and therefor... |
505,462 | 2,911,571 | 839,880 | 1 | I think I've reached the point where I'm not foolish enough to try to watch any more of these . . . . | I have foolishly viewed far too many of these " 8 films to die for " DVD's , from both the first go-round & the second . I think that perhaps " Lake Dead " is the nail in the coffin of my interest in these films . There were a few goodies in among the crap , like " Reincarnation " , " The Abandoned " , and " Frontiers ... |
504,159 | 2,911,571 | 161,634 | 1 | gratuitous torture and violence with NO redeeming values | I've seen other Guinea Pig films , like Mermaid in a Manhole & He Never Dies , and while they're pretty sick , they at least have a bit of a sense of humor to them ( however dark ) . Devil's Experiment though , is nothing more than filming a bunch of punks submitting a young girl to many methods of torture and violence... |
505,224 | 2,911,571 | 479,125 | 1 | as in , " Avoid Like . . . " | This is an awful film . No doubt about it , no redeeming values whatsoever . The idea is good , that all the children of the world of a certain age go into some kind of coma all at the same time and 10 years later all wake up , and wreak havoc , but the execution is TERRIBLE and not even a scare to be found . I'm surpr... |
505,248 | 2,911,571 | 339,288 | 1 | It sucks | Hey now , saying that this movie sucks seems like such an obvious cheap shot , but thankfully , in this case , doing so is NOT beneath me . I had some hope for this being somewhat amusing , and the retro-looking title that flashed across the screen ( LEECHES ! ) reinforced that , but it was all downhill from there . If... |
504,156 | 2,911,571 | 91,118 | 1 | Girls School Snoozer | There are a bunch of Troma movies that I've really enjoyed over the years , not for their fine cinematic quality but because they were so goofy / stupid / bad that they were fun . Not sure what could have possessed them to release this except perhaps that people would buy it and they'd make money ? Because this is bad ... |
504,938 | 2,911,571 | 157,102 | 1 | OK , so I made a mistake | I know Jesse Franco is responsible for a wide variety of films , and I mainly go for his horror films , as lousy as they are at times . I guess it was morbid curiousity that drew me to this , and I wasn't even curious enough to finish it . Maybe it got better towards the end but unless you're into lesbian sex scenes ( ... |
504,539 | 2,911,571 | 129,855 | 1 | no-budget junk is OK to a point , then it's off to dreamland . . . . | I have no idea how this movie ended , on the DVD , that is , but at my house it ended with the push of a button and ta-dah , it was done . Some hunters and their girlfriends go out into the woods and decide to try a different trail from what they normally take , and find that they're camping near an old church and ceme... |
504,494 | 2,911,571 | 295,216 | 2 | incredibly stupid | Kitten Natividad , of Russ Meyer film fame , plays Chastity Knott , a woman who has found she has breast cancer , so she goes to South America to get some special fruit ( Crockazilla ? ) that is supposed to have healing powers . After going down on some of this fruit ( which appears to be plastic bananas on stalks ) Ch... |
505,016 | 2,911,571 | 879,801 | 2 | I was comfortable ( otherwise I'd have ripped this out of the DVD player ) | A TV reporter named Rachel loses her hubby to some masked killer in the middle of the night , and moves back to the place where she grew up , Fillmore , to stay with her folks for a while . She gets a job at a local TV station and becomes fascinated with a particular old house while on an assignment to study the local ... |
505,222 | 2,911,571 | 451,262 | 2 | Yet another cave movie | I can't say if " The Cavern " is a ripoff of " The Cave " because I haven't seen that . I've seen " The Descent " and that's not terrible but it is very hard to watch and so is this one . Hard to watch , as in , there's very little light and lots of fast motion so you're hard pressed to say what you're looking at . The... |
504,287 | 2,911,571 | 100,975 | 2 | third rate " Alien " rip-off | I love the film Xtro , because it's weird and imaginative , and just overall a strange little film . Jump 8 years into the future when this " sequel " was made and we have nothing more than " Alien " in an underground research facility . And the critter looks like Alien , it doesn't look like the critter in the origina... |
504,719 | 2,911,571 | 183,072 | 2 | yikes . . . . | There are some movies that are so horrific , so riveting , and so shocking , that there is almost a hypnotic effect on the viewer and they sit , transfixed , mouth hanging open , waiting to see what happens next . This is not one of those movies , but it does have a hypnotic effect , of sorts . More of a numbing effect... |
504,523 | 2,911,571 | 83,056 | 2 | 97 On The Vomit Meter ? Maybe because it's so bad ? | There is a statement on the front cover of " Cannibals " ( the Blue Underground release ) that says " 97 On the Vomit Meter " , supposedly from Joe Bob Briggs . Maybe he had a bad burrito before watching this . Here's Jesus Franco's contribution to the " cannibal craze " of the late 70's and early 80's , and it's a rea... |
504,583 | 2,911,571 | 382,077 | 2 | a desperate move ? | Is the " R " rating on this movie a desperate move to make folks think that it's more " meaty " than all the " PG-13 " ' horror ' movies that are coming out lately ? Well , needless to say I felt that held a bit of hope for this . Of course the previews have all the best parts and don't subject one to the reality of ho... |
505,238 | 2,911,571 | 447,448 | 2 | More formulaic garbage | There's a lot of bad horror movies coming from Texas these days , and this is but one , the tale of a slaughterhouse worker that was killed and then comes back to life 10 years later to exact his revenge , or something along those lines . We have your usual under-brained and over-sexed teenagers , busily killing off wh... |
504,647 | 2,911,571 | 330,068 | 2 | A throwback | This is a throwback to the films of the 80's and it's also a throwback as in I wish I could throw it back and get my money back for it and buy something worthwhile . Take Hobgoblins & Ghoulies , add some bondage & discipline plus S & M and there you have it . Bleah . Seems there are all these murders taking place among... |
505,083 | 2,911,571 | 171,889 | 2 | Tube Top Double Feature ? | Viewer Discretion Advised is now available on a DVD with " Bacon Head " from Troma . Viewer Discretion Advised is definitely the lesser of these two films but the only one on IMDb , for some reason . After about half an hour of waiting & hoping that this would get better , I stopped it and watched something else . This... |
505,089 | 2,911,571 | 331,488 | 2 | All fall down | Ring Around The Rosie is one of those films that leaves you with a feeling that you've just wasted a bunch of time you could have spent cleaning the bathroom , organizing your sock drawer , or perhaps even reading a book . It's bland , it's without scares or thrills , and it's not at all recommended . Some uptight exec... |
505,205 | 2,911,571 | 110,065 | 2 | What a mess | Hey now , a young studly ex-doctor ( who gave up his practice for booze and women , apparently ) is called to a religious cult compound to take care of an ex-girlfriend of his . This cult is run by a brother and sister out of a huge house / compound that has high security and doesn't let anyone out . All the worker bee... |
505,679 | 2,911,571 | 848,552 | 2 | A complete waste of time | A comedy about people turned into zombies ( or something ) by eating tainted beef ? Oh boy . Billy Zane plays a " stuck in the 80's " doctor who travels to a small town with his girlfriend , daughter , & daughter's boyfriend , only to find that the town's residents are being turned into killing machines by eating taint... |
505,017 | 2,911,571 | 129,358 | 2 | Was this meant to be taken seriously ? If not , it's still hilarious . . . . | Hard to say if this was meant to be taken seriously , but a college professor is commissioned ( by none other than exploitation king David Friedman ) to go find a Bigfoot-like creature in the Okaloosa wilds in Alabama . Along for the trip is an overly helpful former student , and a bunch of over-fed rednecks with guns ... |
505,312 | 2,911,571 | 455,857 | 2 | When A Stranger Bores You To Death | This starts out interestingly , as there's a carnival right next to someone's house with an oil rig right there too and some kind of store-front church across the street with a neon " Jesus Saves " sign , all right in one tiny area . . . . Now that's pretty dazzling , if improbable . . . and then we go right into the m... |
505,433 | 2,911,571 | 82,276 | 2 | not really even ' must be seen to be believed ' material | I thought I'd seen just about all the bad movies there were to see but I have proved that I can always dig deeper . Imagine , if you will , a horror movie with cannibalism , gore , and who the heck knows what else , filmed in a style not unlike that of the Shazam / Isis hour from the 70's ? Yeah , really . . . . comple... |
505,076 | 2,911,571 | 353,351 | 2 | Dud : The Movie | I supposed I was actually expecting a Bollywood remake of " The Fog " , from the title , but this is actually more of a Bollywood remake of " I Know What You Did Last Summer " , with some elements of " Scream " , kind of , sort of , and not a very good one either . Apart from a couple very entertaining song & dance num... |
504,743 | 2,911,571 | 85,704 | 2 | Why was this ever made ? | I remember the Hudson Brothers had a TV show back in the late 70's or early 80's , and it was on Saturday mornings , but I was pretty much over watching Saturday morning TV by then so I never saw it . I found this DVD cheap at K-Mart so thought I'd give it a shot , it was cheap , after all , and I see now it wasn't rel... |
505,282 | 2,911,571 | 422,779 | 2 | Bleah | The best part of this movie is the Las Vegas settings , and maybe the car . The worst part of this movie is the rest . Gunnar Hansen's name is on the box but he appears for maybe 2 minutes . Tony Todd appears for a bit longer as the owner of an adult book store , and perhaps turns in the best performance in the film . ... |
504,376 | 2,911,571 | 54,333 | 2 | Horrifying | Hmm , back in 1962 , " hideous " and " blood curdling " must have meant a bit more than they do now , I guess , because the only hideous thing I found in this movie was the dubbing . A bunch of dancers on a plane , on their way to Singapore , crash land on an island that's full of big spiders ( not GIANT spiders , thou... |
504,884 | 2,911,571 | 384,806 | 2 | Boo ! | Not " Boo ! " As in , scary , " boo " as in " boo , hiss " . Another senseless remake of a film that wasn't that great to start with but has a certain charm ( the original made in the 70's ) . Of course we have modern people trying to assume 70's roles yet again ( like in the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre ) and it ... |
504,039 | 2,911,571 | 86,013 | 2 | dumb Don Dohler dreck | If you want to truly experience the magic ( ? ) of Don Dohler , then check out " Alien Factor " or maybe " Fiend " , but not this . Alien Factor is actually rather imaginative considering the low budget and it's fairly creepy , but " Nightbeast " , which I guess is sort of an updating of Alien Factor , is just plain du... |
504,849 | 2,911,571 | 468,560 | 2 | the title pretty much says it all | I was certainly hoping for a much better flick than what I saw , and I guess that was because of comparisons with John Waters that I read somewhere , and was it also Ed Wood ? Well , I've been burned before and I'll be burned again , I reckon . What's wrong with these people ? Everything . . . . or so says the tag line... |
505,710 | 2,911,571 | 463,935 | 2 | more dumb teen-in-peril garbage | Imagine that you were in a hospital in a bed and were confined there and couldn't move . Imagine that a beautiful young candy-striper nurse with big breasts came into your room and started coming on to you , which got you all hot until you realized she was harboring some alien parasite and wanted to kill you with this ... |
504,915 | 2,911,571 | 88,959 | 2 | why did they bother ? | Criminally Insane 2 is included on the new DVD of Satan's Black Wedding / Criminally Insane , and it's a good thing too , because when I've seen a movie and know there's a sequel ( especially something that's as obscure as this ) I'm always curious . I've now had my curiosity satisfied and will never watch this again .... |
504,646 | 2,911,571 | 92,296 | 2 | Aussie horror flop | Hey now , there's a few Aussie horror films that are pretty good , in my mind , like Body Melt , Last Wave , The Wicked , Stones of Death , but this doesn't happen to be very good . In fact , there's not much about this that I would recommend . There's no excitement , it's somewhat confused ( a zombie & vampire assortm... |
504,330 | 2,911,571 | 802,956 | 2 | Sorry , Bryan , we hate you . . . . . . | How could one go wrong with a film about a masked cult in an Arizona desert town that worships someone called Bryan ? The premise sounds pretty good , the execution , though , leaves a lot to be desired . This is mostly video-taped " archive footage " from a man who was investigating this cult . There's a bit of creepi... |
505,372 | 2,911,571 | 70,174 | 3 | Charms ? | I got this on DVD under the guise of " Charms " . I had read the synopsis in one of my movie books for " Hex " and it actually sounded interesting . Bunch of WWI vets ( supposedly ) hit the road on vintage WW1 type motorbikes across the country to California where they're going to be in the moving pictures , except let... |
503,932 | 2,911,571 | 65,480 | 3 | you want schlock ? look no further | For the uninitiated , almost any Andy Milligan film is a shock , but despite the fact that I've seen many of his films , this one still takes the cake for sheer shoddiness . This is , of course , Milligan's take on the Sweeney Todd tale , done with period costumes ( but not necessarily period hairstyles , in some cases... |
504,685 | 2,911,571 | 70,066 | 3 | lots of skin but hard to follow and just plain dull | This is a German film from 1974 that is something to do with some women who come to a castle and beyond that , I can't really tell you their purpose or even what the purpose of the movie is . I can tell you that there's several women who also moonlight as servants at this particular castle who strip , put on body paint... |
505,067 | 2,911,571 | 936,501 | 3 | Absolutely ridiculous | I read somewhere that Doris Wishman directed films like she'd never seen one before . Maybe that's why some of the reviews for this movie have such high ratings , because the reviewers have't ever seen another movie ? I can't imagine who would watch this and not gape in awe at the number of highly improbable occurrence... |
504,038 | 2,911,571 | 60,558 | 3 | so bad it's just bad | I am a big fan of bad movies with unintended entertainment values , but I was truly expecting that from this one and was disappointed to find out that , HEY ! This is just bad . Jesse James & his bud Hank Tracy get into some trouble with trying to rob a stagecoach & Hank gets shot , so of course Hank gets dragged to th... |
503,887 | 2,911,571 | 91,932 | 3 | Not-so-hot 80's slasher . . . . with Kevin Costner ? | I knew this had to be quality when I put in the DVD and the Vestron Video logo popped up ? So I guess that means this was made for video , no wonder they went broke and disappeared . What we have here is a series of slasher murders being investigated by a very angry cop , he's been on leave for a while since his daught... |
504,870 | 2,911,571 | 57,268 | 3 | a real hoot | This movie is a real hoot , as in you'll probably hoot with derision if you watch it . This is a badly dubbed Italian movie that takes place in Scotland , where witches were burned 100 years ago and now 100 years later the women in this town are going crazy . Along comes a man and his new wife who just happens to be an... |
504,111 | 2,911,571 | 82,620 | 3 | There are many better ways to spend 90 minutes | A murderous moppet movie ! I have a few of these in my collection but this one's only visiting , not staying long . Two young children live with their dad in an isolated summer community somewhere on the California coast . Dad keeps them isolated and home schools them because they have powers that make them special . T... |
504,102 | 2,911,571 | 304,927 | 3 | Weasels rip my wallet | Lordy Lordy , I can certainly say this film caused me to re-examine my definition of " Z-grade " horror films . Is there a lower rating ? I guess not . And to think that thanks to modern technology this piece of junk is available on DVD . . . . . wow , to think I've been missing out all this time . This makes " Blood F... |
505,405 | 2,911,571 | 249,443 | 3 | An Art Film From Hell | The back of the box of this film has a couple quotes from reviewers and one referred to this as " An Art Film From Hell " . That of course , piqued my interest before I saw the film & now having seen it I can say that statement may be taken two ways . Obviously the way I took it , this would be a good film , but that w... |
505,502 | 2,911,571 | 805,185 | 3 | going against human nature , all the way | At the beginning of " Scary Movie " , as Drew Barrymore is being pursued by the killer , she encounters two signs out on the lawn of her house . One points toward " Safety " and the other points toward " Certain Death " . And which one does she choose ? Well , that's pretty much how this piece of crap movie plays out ,... |
504,749 | 2,911,571 | 443,496 | 3 | Majorly disappointing | I really like William H . Macy as an actor , but I liked his character in this only up to a point . This film plays out for about the first part like a sort of bleak version of " After Hours " ( minus the comedy ) . Edmond has left his wife and gone out on his own on the town , looking for some action but too cheap to ... |
503,909 | 2,911,571 | 439,289 | 3 | Another rollicking comedy of which I guess I missed the point | I guess I don't know what " funny " means anymore ; that is , if this film was supposed to be funny . I have a good sense of humor , and I enjoy black humor , and I enjoy slapstick silly humor , but I found no humor in this of any kind . This is the story of Augsten , who has two extremely messed-up parents , and who g... |

I was very disappointed that it really WAS a sketchy , confusing , and mediocre film . It does begin rather interestingly , as people suddenly begin to kill themselves & are... |
503,872 | 2,911,571 | 265,870 | 3 | They may have saved Hitler's brain but they rotted mine | The date on this movie is much earlier than some of the footage , unless of course the folks that made it managed to find folks that were up on all the trends of 1967 or so , years before it happened . One CID agent has hair that looks like Ringo on the cover of Sgt . Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band , and one agent (... |
504,003 | 2,911,571 | 365,685 | 3 | a revolting dud | The idea behind this film isn't bad , and that is that there's a family of grave-robbing casket recyclers that inter bodies and then dig then up later to recover the caskets and whatever other goodies happen to be attached to the corpses . The execution of this idea is where this goes wrong , and rather badly too . Fil... |
504,550 | 2,911,571 | 95,126 | 3 | rates high on the improbability meter | Nut-case electronics wizard Gregg Henry has decided that if he can't have his ex , then no one can , so he discreetly slips a hormonally altered black mamba into a planter in her loft & locks her in . Her loft , however , is approximately the size of a shopping mall and she manages to ( for a while ) evade the mamba wi... |
503,900 | 2,911,571 | 70,893 | 3 | chock full of jaw-dropping unintentional entertainment value | A sarcophagus containing the remains of a Hatian voodoo priest is taken aboard a cruise ship and guess what ? That's a bad thing . For the voodoo priest isn't dead , and he wreaks havoc . Most of the reason for wreaking havoc seems to be that his long-lost lover , Kenya , seems to be on board , but Kenya is played by a... |
505,265 | 2,911,571 | 914,372 | 3 | the previews looked so good . . . . . | But of course , that's what previews are for , they're carefully edited to show only the best parts of the film and therefore suck ( er ) the potential viewer in . And even though I know better , that's exactly what happened to me . What exactly is it about corn that seems to send people right off the deep end ? It's n... |
505,482 | 2,911,571 | 425,150 | 3 | The drug-addled med students of today are the doctors of tomorrow | Now there's something to strike fear into your heart , and is certainly a more frightening thing than this dull foray into the Jekyll & Hyde theme . A young medical student has been experimenting with drugs , derived from Ecstacy , and these drugs make him horny and mean . In fact , I reckon he's killed a few women , o... |
505,388 | 2,911,571 | 116,497 | 3 | workman-like remake isn't worth your time | I saw this for cheap at a used DVD store & picked it up , because I love the original " Harvey " and Harry Anderson certainly looks like he'd make a great Elwood P . Dowd . But when I started to watch this and got about halfway through , I realized that it has absolutely none of the charm or humor of the original , and... |
505,516 | 2,911,571 | 363,276 | 3 | the difference between " startled " and " scared " | Do film makers know the difference between startled and scared anymore ? Scared is where they show you something on the screen that you weren't expecting and it makes you jump . Startled is where the film maker has nothing new to offer so the employ lots of sudden loud noises to make you jump . So if sudden loud noises... |
504,894 | 2,911,571 | 770,739 | 3 | pure crap for undemanding people | OK , this is the " best zombie movie of the year " , or so proclaims the box . Was that written at 12 : 01 AM on / 07 ? Or is it just another lie ? Does it really matter ? I guess this is a Sci-Fi Channel original film , which to me makes me feel better about not having cable , since I'm missing nothing . Group of GI's... |
503,879 | 2,911,571 | 97,498 | 3 | What a mess ! | So this has a minor claim to fame as ex-Sweathog Ron Palillo is in it , other than that it has Josie , who's pretty nice to look at but she's dead , so take that as you like . The plot ? Well , some biker dudes go after the daughter of the owner of this " old west " Ghost Town , called Hellgate , and they accidentally ... |
504,703 | 2,911,571 | 89,562 | 3 | are you kidding me ? | Yeah , OK , this may be deliberately cheesy but it's all pretty lousy , and not in a good way . We have a brave " bone hunter " in search of Dinosaur Valley but all the poor guy can find is bad action / adventure movie clichés , like people sinking in quicksand , nude natives , plane crashes , Viet Nam vets , and knock... |
505,379 | 2,911,571 | 95,659 | 4 | Paul & Mary together again . . . . but stuck in a weak film | Mortuary Academy reunites Paul Bartel & Mary Woronov in what was apparently an attempt to recapture the dark comedy of " Eating Raoul " , but this doesn't even come close to that film . Two young men inherit an academy for morticians , but in order to claim their inheritance they must first enroll and pass the courses ... |

Well , the DVD seems to have been made from a lousy print , scratchy , missing bits , jumps in picture and sound , and while one can watch it without Elvira's wisecracks ... |
505,364 | 2,911,571 | 61,412 | 4 | leans more toward " bad " than " so bad it's good " | I have been slowly working my way through the films of Al Adamson over a long period of time . . . . slowly , that is , so not to incur brain damage from watching more than one of an evening . I have found that for the most part , Adamson's films are CHOCK FULL of entertainment value , intended or not . Sadly , " Blood... |
505,165 | 2,911,571 | 73,903 | 4 | were the 1920's really this dull ? | I was looking forward to a sort of Fatty Arbuckle scandal on which this film is supposedly based , but my interest waned with each passing minute and each extended song . This has a great cast but it just kind of meanders along and just isn't very good . James Coco plays a fading star who is looking at making a comebac... |
505,428 | 2,911,571 | 497,477 | 4 | It's been a while since I've watched a Mexican wrestling movie . . . | After having seen this , I think that I appreciate " Wrestling Women vs . the Aztec Mummy " much more . And other Mexican horror movies with " wrestling " themes . A bunch of sleazy amateur porno film makers are wandering Mexico in a van . They , of course , break down in some ( almost ) abandoned village , La Sangre D... |
504,185 | 2,911,571 | 65,478 | 4 | well filmed and colorful | This is well filmed and very colorful , but that's where the praise for this movie ends . It has a moment or two here and there , but overall it's rather a waste of time . A old man with two daughters is ill , and the doctor attending him is also the beau of the one daughter that lives with the old man , and in order t... |
505,160 | 2,911,571 | 83,019 | 4 | Absolute sleaze | Jesus Franco is pretty hit or miss on his films & I'd say this was a miss , that is , unless you're into total sleaze . I will say that the man has an eye for a good shot , even if it involves topless women with machine guns silhouetted against the ocean . This is overall pretty ridiculous and the acting is horrible , ... |
505,146 | 2,911,571 | 87,270 | 4 | not-very-interesting revenge flick | I have this movie on a Rhino Collection called " Horrible Horrors " and it's not really a horror movie . A native American dude is sent to a psychiatric institute for leaving 4 of his companions in the desert to die as part of some tribal justice thing . Of course he was tried and committed by white folk so therefore w... |
505,437 | 2,911,571 | 140,581 | 4 | how about " The Sucking " ? | What a mess this is . It begins fairly promisingly but degenerates into dumbness and never manages to get its head above water again . There was some humor to it , and there was some promising events , but I guess someone ran out of ideas and it becomes something like " Alien " in a whore house . Not that this idea sou... |
504,493 | 2,911,571 | 87,071 | 4 | good potential story , poor execution | A young , bitchy schoolgirl goes with her dad to East Berlin on holiday ( or something ) to be with him while he does some research . Dad has a new girlfriend in East Berlin , and he and daughter check into dreary hotel , where girl is bored bored bored , and she eventually investigates noises she's been hearing in her... |
505,234 | 2,911,571 | 69,851 | 4 | Castle of nothing much . . . . | Going into this it had elements that I love in horror movies , it was Italian , it had monsters , it had a castle , it had a dwarf , but it also went nowhere and stayed there . Rossano Brazzi plays Dr . Frankenstein and he's experimenting on cave folks that live round those there parts , something to do with an earthqu... |
504,919 | 2,911,571 | 303,348 | 4 | How To Waste Your Money | I'm not sure why I thought I might like this but whatever reason I had for picking this up eluded me when I watched it . This is about an eccentric artist , mostly back in the 50's when he did artsy things , and a few clips here and there of what I guess is called performance art . Like tearing a mound of paper into pi... |
505,008 | 2,911,571 | 278,408 | 4 | Dead Teen Horror , Hong Kong Style | Interesting to note that Dead Teen Horror movies can be just as bad from Hong Kong as they are right here in the good old USA . This is kind of a Freddy and Jason rolled into one ( instead of versus ) and when a bunch of teens go to a lonely island to have a camp out , they run afoul of the weirdos that live there and ... |
504,781 | 2,911,571 | 71,650 | 4 | Nasty , but actually , I've seen far worse | This wasn't exactly something that I had on my list of " Must See " films but found a copy cheap right there in front of me at a store , and slunk to the register to pay . . . . took a couple weeks to get up the courage to watch it thought , I felt like I was about 12 and doing something I wasn't supposed to while my p... |
505,069 | 2,911,571 | 71,256 | 4 | not the standout in " The Blind Dead " collection | The first two " Blind Dead " films are pretty good , and the first is a classic of sorts . Not so for this one . A woman , who is a model , goes in search of her roommate , who is also a model , but seems to have disappeared . She's part of a super-secret advertising campaign for designer sporty life-boats or something... |
504,843 | 2,911,571 | 443,527 | 4 | My first of " 8 Films To Die From " . . . or is it " for " ? | This is the first of these " 8 Films To Die For " collection that I've seen and it's certainly not made me want to see any of the rest . . . although I've heard at least a couple of them are decent . I don't know , this wasn't terrible but it didn't really do much for me . Your basic dysfunctional cannibal family in su... |
504,653 | 2,911,571 | 71,198 | 4 | not the worst movie ever but a good contender | Stewart Moss stars as a scientist who is on a working trip with his wife , and one gets the feeling that he was picked for this role for his ability to roll his eyes back in his head . . . imagine the auditions for this . . " can you . . . no , that's not quite it , thank you , next ! " . Anyway , he's bitten by a bat ... |
505,019 | 2,911,571 | 82,914 | 4 | your basic Satanic Rottweiler flick | OK , this is notable for one thing : the dog is well trained . Oh , and it's got Lily Munster in it ( Yvonne De Carlo ) . This is a low budget film made in Texas and by something called " The Construction Company " ? Well , that would be appropriate , I guess , since this possesses all the thrills and chills of framing... |
505,383 | 2,911,571 | 71,415 | 4 | more a Medieval drama than a horror film | Despite the ( English ) title , this seems to have little to do with Devils and much more to do with a power hungry ruler who seeks the Philospher's Stone & wants gold made from lead ( & virgin's blood ) . Jacinto Molina plays Gilles de Lancre and seems to have little issue with having people put to death when he think... |
505,061 | 2,911,571 | 265,587 | 4 | Astral demons , sex vampires , AND , Aunt Fanny | Good Lord . I've seen some strange stuff but this one may well take the cake . A woman who is dabbling in witchcraft manages to get more-or-less possessed by a witch named Abigail , and Abigail treats her to all kinds of strange sexual adventures , including seducing her gay neighbor & even her very own Aunt Fanny . Al... |
504,760 | 2,911,571 | 79,642 | 4 | Horror Porn . . . . Zombie Erotica . . . . . what the hell ? | No , there are no zombies having sex in this film , the zombies just do what zombies normally do . . . wander slowly and aimlessly and munch on human flesh . It's the living that have all the sex in this movie & boy is there lots . . . . way too much for my taste & all pretty graphic , nothing left to the imagination .... |
504,842 | 2,911,571 | 55,946 | 4 | eek ! | This movie was a vehicle made by Arch Hall , Sr . to launch his son into " teen idol status " . That being , Arch Hall , Jr . , who to me resembles sort of a cross between Mickey Rooney & Billy Idol . My God , that hair . . . Anyway Eegah is some kind of ancient caveman that's somehow miraculously survived in a desert ... |
504,434 | 2,911,571 | 293,346 | 4 | them darn goat-suckers . . . | I vowed some time ago to never get another Joe Castro film ( perhaps after " Near Death " ) but I sort of ended up with this one by accident , since it was a Troma release & I didn't read the cover carefully . Oops . Well , I watched it , and it's by no means good , but it's , I guess , sort of " tongue in cheek " . . ... |
504,782 | 2,911,571 | 81,989 | 4 | Interesting premise comes off no better than a poor made-for-TV film | This film starts out promisingly as you're treated to what seems to be a Disco Inferno , with wildly dancing devil-like creatures and a repeated " no sweat no sweat " chorus , which turns out to be a deodorant commercial produced by this particular agency that Lee Majors works for . Now , there's a new man that's in ch... |
504,457 | 2,911,571 | 86,189 | 4 | it's a freaking musical ? | This is not at all what I expected and I have to say that I squirmed through the whole thing hoping it would get better but alas , it never did . Captain Invincible ( as played by Alan Arkin ) is a faded super-hero , who was the victim of McCarthy-ism and took up residence in Australia to drink himself into a stupor . ... |
504,970 | 2,911,571 | 86,119 | 4 | now on DVD as " Island Fury " . . . . and what the hell IS this ? | This is available on a " Drive In Double Feature " from Dark Sky Films , and since I just had finished up " Barracuda " , I watched this too . This is a film that proves to be incredibly ambitious and inept at the same time . We begin with two young ladies wandering the streets of some foreign town , but where exactly ... |
505,081 | 2,911,571 | 384,537 | 4 | what on earth did I just see ? | I saw Silent Hill yesterday & had been very much looking forward to it since seeing the previews a few months ago , despite the fact that someone told me it was based on a video game . I still had great hopes for the movie though , but some time into it when I was waiting for something to happen that " wowed " me , and... |
504,848 | 2,911,571 | 433,346 | 4 | jaw-dropping but actually pretty bad . . . | Here's a movie that has a " sort-of " story to it , which at some point suddenly seems to be totally forgotten . Did the film makers forget they had named the movie after it ? A young man with some kind of strange bone disease is not getting better so his best friend and his wife try to make him better by giving him bo... |
505,606 | 2,911,571 | 323,571 | 4 | what costs money , but has no value ? | I of course saw the previews for this at the beginning of some other Lion's Gate extravaganza , so of course it was only the best parts and therefore looked intriguing . And it is , to a point . A young college student ( Sarah ) is finding riddles all over the place and is becoming obsessed with answering them , and in... |
504,852 | 2,911,571 | 380,814 | 4 | whatever happened to good movies ? | Alice lives in an isolated house in the desert and one day is bothered by a knock on her door . The lady at the door ( Rebecca ) has come to tell her she has to move because her house is being demolished . Of course Alice invites her in , gives her tea and drugs her , and ties her up and holds her hostage . While she's... |
504,400 | 2,911,571 | 90,095 | 4 | Is there a point to this ? | I generally have no trouble watching films that don't necessarily make a lot of sense , especially if they're captivating enough . I had a few problems with this one though , and this isn't the first time I've seen it either , I just thought maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind and decided to give it another try .... |
504,253 | 2,911,571 | 110,939 | 4 | frantic , loud , and virtually mirthless | I had wanted to see this film for a long time , and now that I have , I have to say that I was extremely disappointed . There's non-stop action and it's loud and frantic but I found it extremely unfunny . Brian Benben plays one of several script-writers at radio station WBN back in 1939 , and one of the stations bigges... |
505,460 | 2,911,571 | 1,237,863 | 4 | no worse than 80's " direct to video " stuff , really . . but that's no recommendation | If you liked things like " Video Violence " , " Woodchipper Massacre " , " Cannibal Campout " , etc . , then you may well like this , because it could have been made around the same time . It has the same look , the same feel , and the same ( ahem ) quality . Amy is a girl who has just returned from a funeral in Japan ... |
504,656 | 2,911,571 | 120,627 | 4 | can't hold a candle to the original | If one has never seen the original " Carnival of Souls " then it would be hard to think of this as a remake / re-imagining / whatever this is . There are a few similarities , but where the original relied on a creepy atmosphere & settings , this one has none of that & goes for the cheap scares . The original was far le... |
504,232 | 2,911,571 | 83,670 | 5 | Absolutely terrible , but not without some merit | First , I'd like to say that I had the Paragon Video release of this for years & I missed hearing that wonderful fanfare when I watched the Code Red DVD release . If you're not familiar with Paragon , they put out the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel stuff , that I guess nobody else would . And amazingly enough , they als... |
505,466 | 2,911,571 | 285,954 | 5 | Maybe it's better if you know something of South African politics | This is a rather strange South African film ( a Troma pick-up ) and in the introduction by the director ( and thankfully not the increasingly annoying Lloyd Kaufman ) , he mentions that it's a combination of horror , dark comedy , and some references toward the direction South Africa was headed in at the time . Well , ... |
505,273 | 2,911,571 | 66,053 | 5 | Viewers may not be haunted | This has the feel to it of a British made-for-TV film , and it's a fine diversion for a rainy Sunday afternoon , but definitely nothing to write home about . Roger Moore appears fully attired to go into competition with John Cleese in a Minstry of Silly Walks sketch , and he is a hot-shot at some Engineering company un... |
