505,680 | 2,911,571 | 308,153 | 6 | slow but definitely odd | Joey & Laura are in love . Laura falls and breaks her neck ( I guess ) trying to get a kitten down from a high spot in her apartment . Right when the guys from the morgue show up to get her , Joey wraps her in a sheet & packs a few items ( including a gun ) and hits the road to somewhere with Laura's dead body . A good... |
505,409 | 2,911,571 | 308,132 | 6 | A long awaited and very long sequel | Like Mikel's OTHER sequel , Mark of the Astro Zombies , this is made with a video camera and not on film , so part of the cheesy look that made the originals is already missing , replaced by a different cheesy look that I personally don't like . However , the plot itself is mostly a reworking of the original Corpse Gri... |
504,436 | 2,911,571 | 91,446 | 6 | A decent effort , if not entirely successful | I was really looking forward to this being released , because it sounded really disgusting and creepy . . . and it is , to an extent , but it's nowhere near as disgusting and creepy as I'd hoped for . I guess I was expecting something more along the lines of " Nekromantik " . This , however , came first , and while the... |
504,242 | 2,911,571 | 451,142 | 6 | I expected far less . . . . | I got this incredibly cheap in a bargain bin at the local used movie store , so I wasn't expecting much . " Aunt Rose " turned out to be far better than I expected . It almost has the look & feel of a 70's or 80's horror flick , despite the modern trappings . Three homicidal nut-cases , after killing a few people here ... |
505,300 | 2,911,571 | 91,462 | 6 | fair-to-middling slasher / revenge flick is OK for what it is | This isn't any great shakes as far as movies go , but I still like it , don't know why but maybe it's because I read the book a long time ago ( by John Russo , who was involved in many George Romero projects , especially " Night of the Living Dead " ) . It's also directed by Bill Hinzman , head zombie in that movie . A... |
504,262 | 2,911,571 | 112,939 | 6 | OK Japanese witchcraft thriller | Misa has just started at a new high school , and it seems that some of the kids there dabble in magic . Now , Misa herself seems to be knowledgeable about magic & there are rumors that at other schools she's attended that " people died around her " . There is some force at work in the area of her new school though , wh... |
504,458 | 2,911,571 | 100,991 | 6 | undistinguished follow-up to " Tetsuo " | Hiruko the Goblin is a rather undistinguished follow-up to Tetsuo the Iron Man for this director . I guess you could call it a horror comedy , although it's really not that funny or horrific . It's pretty strange though , which is about its only saving grace , I guess . There is evidence that there's some kind of buria... |
504,987 | 2,911,571 | 122,757 | 6 | not a bad little thriller | Through Dead Eyes is part of a two-film set , with " Vampire's Embrace " , now out on Cult Camp Video . Of the two films , this is the obvious stand-out . A wave of killings in a small town seems to be somehow connected to a retired police officer ( James Doohan ) who retired with a year still to go after a similar w... |
504,570 | 2,911,571 | 145,091 | 6 | one of the better " Mondo " films | Some of the material in these so called " Mondo " films is rather tame by today's standards , but I'm sure it was pretty strange to viewing audiences upon initial release . This particular one is narrated by George Sanders , and features such things as a secret " dueling club " in Berlin , where the object is to leave ... |
504,821 | 2,911,571 | 43,539 | 6 | five alive | Five is , I guess , the first " post-nuke " flick , in which we find a survivor wandering , looking for others , and she runs across a cabin where there are cups , and a fire , and then she finds the man that lives there . She's nursed back to health , and then , along comes a jeep with two more men in it , one black... |
504,191 | 2,911,571 | 83,156 | 6 | early 80's Franco slasher flick is now on DVD in the US | I had been looking forward to the release of " Bloody Moon " , being that I had a tape that was a horrible transfer and virtually unwatchable ( Eddy Entertainment , may they rot ) . The Severin DVD is quite nice and actually has an interview with Franco , who looks very frail & not like someone who should still be chur... |
504,368 | 2,911,571 | 963,794 | 6 | Not at all what I expected | I really expected " The Ruins " to be something along the lines of " Hostel " , " Turistas " , etc . , especially when the 20-something main characters hook up with some German guy ( Mathias ) poolside at their hotel in Mexico and agree to go with him to some unknown & ancient ruins in the jungle . You know those darn ... |
505,218 | 2,911,571 | 70,013 | 6 | Not Rollin's best but still has some strange appeal | I've liked what I've seen of Jean Rollin's films so far , but I have to say that Demoniacs is nowhere near his best work , in fact it's probably the worst film by him I've ever seen , but it does have redeeming values . A bunch of pirates lure ships to bad waters with a light to wreck them , so they can collect the tre... |
504,925 | 2,911,571 | 126,814 | 6 | Pleased to meet you , Meat to please you | This is a bizarre little Canadian film in the " what were they thinking ? " category , that combines elements of every bad film you've ever seen in your life to come up with almost a good film . We've got toy robots on a space ship communicating with each other ( with subtitles , thanks ) , we've got a huge guy named A... |
505,164 | 2,911,571 | 91,847 | 6 | cheesy , sleazy , and kind of fun | The French don't do well with zombie movies , as a rule , remember Zombie Lake ? No ? Probably just as well . This is a tad better but it's rather cheesy and silly , but it does have a good look to it . Some mysterious guy with on a motorcycle sneaks some container of liquid into a tanker of milk and three ( yes , only... |
505,349 | 2,911,571 | 820,111 | 6 | seems to be missing a certain something . . . . | Some kind of strange parasites have invaded Earth & ( as one gentleman explains ) " some came from the sea and some came from space " . These parasites invade humans and turn them into mutated fighting machines called " Necroborgs " . The Necroborgs battle each other to the death for the amusement of the parasites . A ... |
504,581 | 2,911,571 | 290,010 | 6 | Train Wreck | A good friend of mine has a name for movies like this : it's train wreck . . . . meaning , you can't look away but you want to . He first assigned that name to Grey Gardens , although Grey Gardens is a little more weird & classy than this . Here we have a bunch of sad individuals in a little town near Jacksonville ( Ma... |
504,278 | 2,911,571 | 53,232 | 6 | OK Swedish monster flick | This is strange because it is a Swedish film but is full of Lapplanders , I thought they were in Finland but maybe I don't know as much as I thought . A mysterious meteor crashes and a scientific team is out to search for it . It seems much more space-craft like than meteor-like and apparently harbors this huge furry t... |
504,660 | 2,911,571 | 486,051 | 6 | not bad , and not the " usual " slice & dice | Wind Chill seemed like the perfect film to watch on a snowy afternoon , so I threw it on and yep , it was a good little time passer with some genuine entertainment value & even a few scares . A young woman answers an ad for ride-sharing to Delaware after getting a mysterious text message telling her to check the ride... |
504,742 | 2,911,571 | 381,966 | 6 | run some more , Lola . . . | Franka Potente hasn't done much since " Run Lola Run " that would indicate that she's any rising star , and this would be further evidence . Not that it's completely terrible , but it's not exactly top-notch . Here , she plays Kate , a woman who leaves a party because she knows where George Clooney is hanging out that ... |
504,480 | 2,911,571 | 87,336 | 6 | Beware the dancing bear | Strange that this is not shown as being available on DVD as I just got it and it's on Guilty Pleasures ( Media Blasters ) , perhaps for some reason it was pulled ? No idea . This is not a great slasher movie but I found it somewhat entertaining anyway . The idea is that there's a scavenger hunt going on at the campus o... |
504,286 | 2,911,571 | 96,073 | 6 | OK time-passer | I had never seen this film prior to this day , and always wondered if it were any good . Well , I guess that would depend on how original you like your movies , or how good . Demi Moore plays a young woman who is pregnant , and a mysterious stranger ( Jurgen Prochnow ) appears and rents a garage apartment at their home... |
504,666 | 2,911,571 | 60,865 | 6 | Not a bad whodunit | Based on an Edgar Wallace story , " Circus of Fear " is a whodunit , not a horror film . It begins with an armored car heist in which a guard is killed , and while the perpetrators do get away they're eventually caught , all except one , who has escaped with a bag of money to " the Old Farm " , where he's killed upon a... |
503,920 | 2,911,571 | 70,119 | 6 | stunningly incoherent and . . . . well , words fail me | I rate this as I have strictly from the unintentional entertainment value of this film . This is probably one of the most bizarre and incoherent attempts at a " horror " movie that I've seen in a long time . Now , the monster is apparently some giant mutated sheep , but that is almost a subplot compared to everything e... |
503,917 | 2,911,571 | 140,533 | 6 | beautiful scenery , good atmosphere , lousy effects | Filmed in beautiful Monterey , CA , " Satan's Black Wedding " is the story of a young man who comes from So . Cal . to a funeral , only to arrive back at his sister's house to find another funeral is necessary . Although , considering the condition of her room , she did not commit suicide as her note said , for there i... |
504,184 | 2,911,571 | 435,625 | 6 | Dark | Once this film gets moving , it's fine , until then though , it was borderline dull . A bunch of adventurous women gather together in the Appalachian Mountains to do some cave exploring , and there's a lot of really fun bonding and getting drunk and eating marshmallows . Once they get into the caves , MY claustrophobia... |
504,645 | 2,911,571 | 104,567 | 6 | weird and quirky | Hey now , I'd seen this around & I'm no Brad Pitt fan , but when I read in one of my movie guides that this was pretty surreal & qualified for induction into the " David Lynch Museum of the Weird " I though it would be worth a look . And it is , for the most part . The case says it's a " romantic comedy " ( yechh ) but... |
504,511 | 2,911,571 | 122,037 | 6 | A wonder to behold | I found this movie to be a wonder to behold , and probably for nary a reason that the makers intended . The living dead people are pretty cool as they shimmy-shimmy-co-co-bop across the screen , probably some of the most hyperactive dead folks that I've ever seen . Classic line in regard to that : " For dead people , t... |
505,187 | 2,911,571 | 57,160 | 6 | House of The Darned , maybe . . . | This looks and sounds much more promising than it is , but up until a point it's rather creepy and not bad . An architect and his wife are called to go to make some measurements and take a look at renovating an old castle in the Calfornia hills . The castle has been abandoned for a while ( supposedly ) and yet when the... |
505,223 | 2,911,571 | 78,405 | 6 | Cheesy 70's horror is watchable but nothing special | In an area of southern California where cheesy stucco apartments abound , a man in a ski mask is making the rounds of women's apartments and doing them in with tools . Hence , the title , I reckon . Now , Vance ( Cameron Mitchell , sporting a hideous line of awful 70's shirts ) owns these apartment buildings and he's o... |
504,557 | 2,911,571 | 765,475 | 6 | just for the record : that is SO nasty . . . . . | This is a film that I guess you could call a guilty pleasure . I wouldn't expect to EVER see something like this in a movie theater . This is so tasteless , politically incorrect , and disgusting that I felt I should not be laughing at it . . . but I did . Yes , it's pretty funny , actually , and rather gory too , but ... |
504,997 | 2,911,571 | 265,171 | 6 | Elvira meets Edgar Allen Poe ? | Let's face it folks , Elvira was better suited to the 80's than she is to this day and age , and this film is pretty good evidence that her time has passed . Granted , " Elvira : Mistress of the Dark " was no work of cinematic genius but it was far better than this . Elvira and her maid ( Zou Zou ) are on their way to ... |
504,587 | 2,911,571 | 391,044 | 6 | Not as bad as others say . . . . | Hey now , seems a lot of folks did not like this movie , well , let me be an exception and say I did , to an extent . This is pretty strange , as a cop wakes up in a large building , alone , comes outside to find himself , alone , and finds that virtually all of mankind has disappeared and something very strange ( I me... |
504,328 | 2,911,571 | 74,540 | 6 | Food of the Gods now on DVD ! | Directed & produced by the notorious B . I . G . ( Bert I . Gordon ) , " Food of the Gods " is supposedly based on a " portion " of H . G . Wells novel . This is by no means a good film , but it is an entertaining film , probably in ways other than it was intended . Marjoe Gortner is the lead , and he's a football play... |
504,529 | 2,911,571 | 57,138 | 6 | Enjoyable film version of an Edgar Wallace mystery | I'm not sure how many filmed versions of Edgar Wallace mysteries there are in all , but I do enjoy them & the German ones ( of which there are apparently a lot ) seem to be the most interesting . This particular one involves an apparent madman , who is holding secret trials for criminals that have managed to elude the ... |
505,213 | 2,911,571 | 92,118 | 6 | I dare you to watch . . . . THIS ! | This is a cheesy flick made with no budget in Florida ( my home state ) and while it's certainly no work of genius is does have its moments , although those moments are more unintentional humor than actually horror or scares . A man has broken up with his wife after finding her in bed with another guy . She tried to te... |
505,620 | 2,911,571 | 69,811 | 6 | fascinating for all the wrong reasons | Hey now , vanity is a strange thing . J . G . " Pat " Patterson was a little short scrawny guy with an elaborate bad comb-over , that rivals none I've seen except for perhaps Criswell . How can one think by doing that they're " looking all good " ? That , probably , was to me , the most fascinating aspect of this movie... |
505,465 | 2,911,571 | 454,932 | 6 | Lucky McKee and Angela Bettis switch roles | For " Roman " , Angela Bettis ( who was the star of McKee's film " May " ) takes the role of director and Lucky McKee is the film's star . Roman is a lonely machinist , who is seemingly obsessed with a perky young neighbor , who he watches every evening . He even spies on her a bit when he goes out for his mail . One d... |
505,701 | 2,911,571 | 52,969 | 6 | In Color ! | A while back I saw a release of " Killer Shrews / Giant Gila Monster " had come out & I thought , huh , how nice . When I saw it at Big Lots a week ago for $3 , I thought , how even nicer , so I bought it . Adding color to " The Killer Shrews " at least relieves it of its dingy look , which lots of black & white films ... |
505,532 | 2,911,571 | 351,461 | 6 | OK but no comparison to . . . . . | I found a used copy of this & it seemed intriguing , especially since the write up on the box placed it in league with Donnie Darko , but it's nowhere near the quirky strangeness of that film , it's merely a sort of coming-of-age drama that takes place in a small town in Iceland . Noi is an albino who lives with his gr... |
504,534 | 2,911,571 | 83,261 | 6 | The Unseen , now on DVD ( minor spoilers ) | Three female reporters are going to Solvang to report on a festival there , when they find that due to an error , they have no hotel room . So they find what they THINK is an old hotel but it turns out to be a museum , run by charming ( but loony ) Sydney Lassick . After trying to find these young ladies a place , he f... |
504,366 | 2,911,571 | 373,751 | 6 | Hey , I LIKED this . . . . ! | According to the box art , this is an attempt ( or tribute ) to " Giallo " films of old , 70's , 80's . And as that , it's not bad at all , really . It's certainly got the look and feel down . Unfortunately this loses a point for being dubbed , and the dubbing is rather terrible . This features stars from older films ,... |
504,042 | 2,911,571 | 113,843 | 6 | cheesy updating of " The Bad Seed " | Patty McCormack , who played the original creepy little girl in " The Bad Seed " , has grown up about as well adjusted as you might imagine . She now has a twelve year old daughter that she dotes on , and a few ex-husbands and partners that have gone over to the great beyond , leaving her well taken care of in that pro... |
504,351 | 2,911,571 | 79,156 | 6 | bad , cheesy , but not without some dumb fun too | This is an Italian " Jaws " ripoff with minor adjustments . Our setting is Africa , I guess , since there's cobras , hippos , monkeys , etc . The gist is that there's a resort , somewhere in the deep jungle , where lame tourists can come and act like they're at a disco in the city . Now there is a peaceful native tribe... |
504,244 | 2,911,571 | 60,228 | 6 | despite the " horror horn " and " fear flasher " , there's not much to be scared of here | Chamber of Horrors is something I'd seen a long time ago on " Creature Features " ( KTVU , Oakland ) , and I'd really forgotten it until I just watched it on DVD . This has just been released as one of Best Buy's " exclusives " , which means it's generally hard to get your mitts on , unless you luck out like I did . ... |
504,538 | 2,911,571 | 64,101 | 6 | Definitely odd , but not up to the usual Steckler " greatness " | I've been a big fan of the films of Ray Dennis Steckler ever since I saw " Incredibly Strange Creatures . . . " on TV many years ago . But this one , " Body Fever " ( AKA Super Cool ) , isn't quite up to the goofy weirdness of old . Oh , it's plenty odd , really , but it lacks the same jaw-dropping ineptitude that make... |
504,899 | 2,911,571 | 86,980 | 6 | goofy , cheesy , & kind of fun | OK , so if you have not seen this , do NOT go into this expecting : 1 ) great acting , 2 ) great effects , or 3 ) an Academy Award Winning film . This is none of those , this is a low-budget 80's horror movie filmed in the Texas boonies , and I suppose you could call it a horror comedy . The gist is that a wind which c... |
504,247 | 2,911,571 | 486,640 | 6 | Offensive , disgusting , stupid , and actually , not bad for Boll | To be honest , before this I'd seen only ONE film from Uwe Boll . . . House of the Dead . And that was enough to put me off his films forever . It was bad in ways that words can barely describe . But then , I had heard a lot about this particular film , " Postal " , so I decided to give it a chance . And really , despi... |
504,820 | 2,911,571 | 844,708 | 6 | Acceptable , but not fantastic , remake of a classic horror flick ( minor spoilers ) | I guess the thing that bugs me about some remakes is they take away from the time in which the original was made . There's a certain feel & atmosphere to some of these funky 70's horror films that are being remade , that is lost in the translation in the new films . Still though , the " Last House . . " remake fares so... |
504,113 | 2,911,571 | 71,654 | 6 | must be seen to be disbelieved | William Shatner as a lady-killing gigolo ? Yep , the beloved Captain Kirk as a leisure-suited , little cigar smoking , thieving creep , I'm sure this is something he'd rather live down , but unfortunately opportunists still make it available for your viewing pleasure ( ? ) . Also co-starring in this incredible films is... |
505,561 | 2,911,571 | 71,661 | 6 | oddball Aussie western / horror / thriller is somewhat interesting | This film begins with some rousing Aussie spaghetti-western music which recurs throughout the film , and if the movie was as good as the music I'd love it . I do like at least some of it , but I thought it was overly long for what it is and it gets a bit confusing at times too . It looks GREAT , though . Seems that fol... |
504,957 | 2,911,571 | 878,652 | 6 | We're not the one living the lie , you are | Beleivers is about two paramedics who respond to a call in a remote area & while attending to a woman who seems to be dying , they're captured and taken prisoner by members of something called The Quantum Group . This is a group of people that live in an underground bunker and are preparing to take a journey to the o... |
504,901 | 2,911,571 | 48,682 | 6 | not bad for a trashy B-movie | I got this for $2 in a bargain bin & as it had been on my list of things that I was interested in seeing , it was well worth the price . A police woman ( Marie Windsor ) has gone undercover to infiltrate the remains of the Nardo gang , three women who did not get the chair like their male cohorts did . The Nardo gang s... |
505,182 | 2,911,571 | 183,717 | 6 | better than expected but not great . . . . . | This is disgusting , gory , tasteless , and all the things I appreciate ( on occasion ) but it also loses momentum before the end . After being left in the lurch by the latest egotistical rock star , Bernie Stein has sworn he won't get taken again , so he enlists the help of his nephew , Frankie ( Stein , of course ) t... |
505,402 | 2,911,571 | 366,282 | 6 | No-budget space ( d ) epic | OK , I always read the blurbs on the back of the box before I decide on a movie , who doesn't ? This was sort of described as " Barbarella on an 8th Avenue porno house budget " and it's definitely got the porno house look to it ( minus the porno ) but there's no Barbarella in evidence . I've only seem maybe two porno m... |
504,319 | 2,911,571 | 82,497 | 6 | The Hand , now on DVD , for all you masochists | Actually , I had never seen " The Hand " before and wasn't quite sure what to expect , but it probably wasn't this . I guess I was thinking it would be something along the lines of the cheesy " Crawling Hand " movie from the early 60's and actually , it's not too far from it , just with better production values ( I thi... |
504,320 | 2,911,571 | 785,533 | 6 | Combs is great but the tale is stale | I've seen another version of Poe's " The Black Cat " and the story in this is basically the same , except that the perpetrator is Edgar Allen Poe himself . Jeffrey Combs makes a great Poe and I was surprised how much he resembled photos I've seen of the author . At any rate Poe has a very sick wife ( consumption ) and ... |
505,264 | 2,911,571 | 74,991 | 6 | Entertaining but somewhat mediocre | I had wanted to get my mitts on this DVD for a long time , being a fan of older De Palma stuff , and not having seen this one . . . I did stumble across it in a bargain bin the other day & was very excited . . . . until I watched it . Not that I'd get rid of it , but this is not one of the better examples of De Palma's... |
504,295 | 2,911,571 | 67,434 | 6 | adequate but unremarkable Giallo | This is entertaining enough to watch , for the most part , but it also contains what I thought was a rather unfathomable ending , which was somewhat frustrating . It seems there's some swampy place that used to be a quarry , and near that quarry is the place where a young girl & her father died after having been kidnap... |
505,717 | 2,911,571 | 67,396 | 6 | OK early 70's Spanish thriller has some creepy moments | I can't say how " complete " this film is , having never seen it before , but I did rather like the atmosphere and feel to it . This is a new release on " Substance " who distribute a lot of older films , and I did read where the Brentwood release was heavily cut , but I can't speak for that on this version because I j... |
505,697 | 2,911,571 | 304,722 | 6 | just weird enough to raise it a notch above others of its type | I wasn't expecting much from this , especially considering that Warwick Davis , of the wretched " Leprechaun " movies , was in it . But once I got watching it I kind of got sucked in , and this has enough good old-fashioned weirdness to it that it's almost appealing . This has plenty of elements borrowed from Texas Cha... |
505,287 | 2,911,571 | 443,594 | 6 | Indian remake of " The Eye " is not bad , but brings nothing new | I rather liked this , but it's not much more than a remake of " The Eye " , the film from the Pang Brothers ( Jian Gui ) . A woman has a cornea transplant from an anonymous donor and when she realizes that she sees things that no one else can , she of course , becomes alarmed . Particularly when she sees another woman'... |
505,331 | 2,911,571 | 249,380 | 6 | Not quite as shocking as expected . . . . | I've seen far worse films and far better than this . Far worse in the " shock value " department , that is . Two women , both apparently prostitutes , go on a killing and sex spree , not to mention more general crimes too like stealing money . One has been raped early on in the movie and apparently is not particularly ... |
505,464 | 2,911,571 | 71,212 | 6 | Exorcist meets Rosemary's Baby , Italian style . . . now on Code Red DVD ! ! | First things first . . . I got my copy of the Code Red DVD in the mail yesterday and watched it last night . It looks great , and there's even a small introduction with Juliet Mills where she compares the film to " The Omen " , before she's corrected . She also says it's a good film , but at that point she wasn't corre... |
505,666 | 2,911,571 | 362,120 | 6 | Will there be a 5 ? | I didn't go to see this because it was a first choice , a buddy of mine & I were wanting to see Hard Candy but apparently THAT movie wasn't enough of a draw so it was very limited release , so after much debate we saw this instead . Is it any better or worse than anything that's gone before it ? Well , it is an indicat... |
505,517 | 2,911,571 | 269,401 | 6 | What the HELL is this ? | The title of the DVD on Tokyo Shock is " Japanese Hell " so it is a bit hard to find on IMDb under that name . At any rate , we have a young lady who is given a chance to take a look at Hell without dying and going there , so that she may tell others that it isn't the happening place to be . It's also a chance for her ... |
503,934 | 2,911,571 | 131,543 | 6 | hard to say what this is about , but it's weird enough to be interesting | This is a rather odd , low-budget 60's film that has something to do with the theft of a Titian painting , which may or may not be an original . It's also odd because it's filmed in the former Yugoslavia , so there's plenty of creepy buildings and castles along with beautiful Adriatic beaches . And part of this film al... |
505,485 | 2,911,571 | 71,338 | 6 | Good 70's drama with apparently no special effects | This is not a bad little 70's flick , one that I'd heard of but never would have sought out , probably , but I just happened to find a used disk in front of my nose for cheap . Good cast : Warren Oates , Harry Dean Stanton , Millie Perkins , and two rather skinny little young men called Ed Begley Jr . & Steve Railsback... |
505,659 | 2,911,571 | 67,480 | 6 | Graveyard of Unintentional Humor | For unintended humor and weirdness , you can't really beat this movie . However , for a coherent storyline and a good movie , well , there's plenty else out there to choose from . Seems that some gentleman has returned to his ancestral castle , where he and everyone around this small place only know one tune , and they... |
505,338 | 2,911,571 | 63,595 | 6 | pretty funny for a " serious " movie | Herschell Gordon Lewis changed his pace a bit with this biker chick flick , and while it's not necessarily successful as an " action adventure " movie or a " drama " , it does provide tons of unintentional hilarity because it's just so freaking bad . It begins with a young lady driving away from her house where her mom... |
503,976 | 2,911,571 | 59,756 | 6 | Attack of the dry cleaning bags | We have a bunch of young folks gathering on an island in the South of Florida to party all weekend , and we have this thing , a creature with the body of a muddy skin diver and the head of a dry cleaning bag ? Wait , that's a Portuguese Man O'War . You can tell the difference by the tentacles , dry cleaning bags don't ... |
505,530 | 2,911,571 | 430,684 | 6 | Double Threat | Hey now , this has a couple things not going for it right off the bat , like the pairing of Fred Olen Ray & Jacinto Molina ( Paul Naschy ) , since they've made more stinky horror movies than probably anyone on the planet . However , this is not the worst that either have made , either together or apart , but it isn't a... |
504,721 | 2,911,571 | 105,643 | 6 | So are these trolls or goblins ? | This is one of those movies that has to be seen to be believed . A family is embarking on a unique exchange program , in which they will live as farmers in some little burg while the farmers there will come and live in their house for a month . Now , the little boy ( Joshua ) has visions that his deceased grandfather c... |
504,543 | 2,911,571 | 460,898 | 6 | Raunchy romp | This is sort of a tribute , I guess , to Russ Meyer's films , but apparently not to the ones I've seen . There are large breasts galore , covered and not , plenty of sex , some pretty disgusting gore , and even a " homeboy " garage mechanic ( as played by director Yudis ) who is obviously confused about more than just ... |
505,376 | 2,911,571 | 425,430 | 6 | OK , but nothing to write home about | The Pang Brothers new film is their first American release , and like many recent American films by foreign directors , it's unfortunately , undistinguished ( see Vacancy , as one example . . or better , don't ) . But , it's really not all that bad , it's just not really all that good . To escape from the horrors of li... |
505,487 | 2,911,571 | 52,104 | 6 | Wait . . . Zsa Zsa isn't even the Queen ! | Some men are going to a space station to do some work , and while on their way there they notice lots of rays that seem to be flashing by the space station ( sounding somewhat like electronic mosquitoes ) and eventually one hits the station and it blows up . Then , somehow the spaceship is sucked into one of these rays... |
505,278 | 2,911,571 | 377,109 | 6 | OK , but Ring is better ( possible minor spoiler ) | I haven't seen any of the Japanese versions of Ring except Ringu , so I wasn't sure what exactly to expect from this , but I loved Ring 1 and watched it the night before so I'd be up on my " ringology " when I went to see Ring Two . It still has Naomi Watts and her strange little son Aidan , and I think they even have ... |
504,562 | 2,911,571 | 52,187 | 6 | 50's schlock / horror cheese | Let me say first off , that I like cheesy movies , especially far-fetched ones like this . Not that the films of today aren't far-fetched , but they did some pretty good reaching back in the 50's . A small group of people are shipwrecked on what they think is a deserted island , after a big storm ( which hit Surf City ... |
503,901 | 2,911,571 | 222,817 | 6 | Sex and gore galore , with a generous helping of bad taste | An egotistic photographer and his ( mostly ) egotistic crew are on a film shoot with some young models , and when they're done and on their way back to the city they get lost in a fog and take refuge in some abandoned house . Of course , some of these models have become " respectable " by sleeping with this particular ... |
504,780 | 2,911,571 | 79,869 | 6 | how do you think these things get started ? | This is not a movie for people who like rampaging gore and terror , but it may be best appreciated by those who like the power of suggestion and like having things left to their imagination . I've seen this twice now and I kind of got what I think I missed the first time . This begins with a black background to the cre... |
504,621 | 2,911,571 | 59,465 | 6 | AIP Gothic horror take on " The Color Out of Space " | Boris Karloff and Nick Adams star in this take on H . P . Lovecraft's " The Color out of Space " , with mixed results . The settings are great , including Adam's trek through an " dead " area on the way to the mansion where the once prosperous Witley family lives . But while the idea of Karloff starring in a Lovecraft ... |
504,624 | 2,911,571 | 183,881 | 6 | this is going to hurt me a lot more than it's going to hurt you | Did you know that " Things " is now available on DVD ? Why , yes , it is , and I just got my copy in the mail yesterday , so of course , after dinner , I settled down and put it on , and squandered about 90 minutes of my life that I can never get back . The film begins with , I guess , a dream sequence , in which a wom... |
504,225 | 2,911,571 | 390,073 | 6 | not great but a goofy take on Lovecraft ? | A young woman disappears while jogging , and her sister is out to find her . All trails lead to a Catholic Halfway House for wayward girls , presided over by a perverted priest and Mary Woronov as a nun , so you know it can't be all good . Seems that girls keep disappearing from this halfway house and due to the nature... |
505,468 | 2,911,571 | 281,398 | 6 | It's the last days . . . that's why we're having a garage sale | Joe is a young man who has been diagnosed with a mysterious terminal disease , and does not know how long he has to live . Armed with only a set of tapes stolen from his therapist , a gun , and a bunch of prescription lollipops , he sets out on a journey to find a girl , Joyce , that he grew up with , whose picture he ... |
504,483 | 2,911,571 | 129,797 | 6 | obscure Florida vampire flick | Vampires , in Florida ? Well , it is Jacksonville , so almost not really even Florida . This story concerns the curse of the De Lorca family , which has something to do with the occult and vampires , and apparently rounding up a few young ladies to lure back to the ancestral mansion is a good way to make sure that curs... |
504,640 | 2,911,571 | 82,410 | 6 | Must be seen to be believed | So this guy , Jerry Warren , who I don't think I'd ever heard of before this , must have been a disciple of Al Adamson or something . At any rate , I went into this not knowing exactly what to expect and I found this to be an film that's absolutely SO dreadfully and hideously bad that it's incredible entertainment . Th... |
504,114 | 2,911,571 | 82,213 | 6 | cheesy & dumb but not without some merit | After " Airplane " but before " Naked Gun " Leslie Nielsen starred in this little parody of alien flicks , which is not the best work he's ever done but still manages a laugh or two . Also starring are Cindy Williams ( Laverne & Shirley ) and Gerrit Graham ( Phantom of Paradise ) not to mention Patrick Macnee ( The Ave... |
503,929 | 2,911,571 | 101,493 | 6 | Decent , if somewhat puzzling , thriller | Lamberto Bava's " Body Puzzle " is an entertaining but somewhat puzzling thriller . A woman has recently lost her husband but she's been plagued by uh , spare parts showing up in her home . The victims have all been relieved of various body parts and the twist is , they're not original equipment . As in , they came fro... |
505,021 | 2,911,571 | 82,237 | 6 | a film only a mummy could love | This is a rather odd attempt ( I guess ) at capitalizing on the popularity of Dawn of the Dead and mixing it up with your garden-variety mummy curse sort of flick , and it misses more often than it hits , but it does pick up a bit towards the end and the mummies are suitably creepy as they munch on hapless fashion mode... |
504,828 | 2,911,571 | 66,954 | 6 | lesser-known TV creepy from the director of " Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark " | Arthur Kennedy & Theresa Wright play an older couple , retired to the country because of the husband's health . One day a young man comes to repair their furnace & the wife invites him to dinner . The strange young man , Richard , also asks to borrow one of the husband's books , a book of poetry , so he agrees , but th... |
504,134 | 2,911,571 | 94,752 | 6 | hokey 80's hair-metal horror flick is still dumb fun | I was never into " heavy metal " , didn't like it , didn't see the point , but for some reason this kind of stuff makes for great stupid horror movies . Not great , as in really good , but great as in , full of unintentional humor . I do have a good collection of bad 80's metal movies , because even though I never like... |
504,193 | 2,911,571 | 200,940 | 6 | for all its faults , it's still fairly inventive | I was rather surprised to run across this on DVD the other day , and since it was on my list of " Must Have " films , I snagged it . I'd never seen it before but how could any z-grade movie fan like myself pass it up ? By no means is this a well-made & professional film . It begins with some awful Claymation characters... |
505,414 | 2,911,571 | 75,989 | 6 | H . G . Well's classic ? Ha . . . . . | Bert I . Gordon certainly took some liberties with his movies , as in " Food of the Gods " and " Empire of the Ants " being based on H . G . Wells ' stories . Yeah , whatever , he took the basic idea and did what he wanted with it . Joan Collins plays a real-estate woman , one that isn't exactly too honest , and with h... |
504,375 | 2,911,571 | 85,580 | 6 | Got your drool cup on ? | Hey now , let me first say that this ( to me , anyway ) wasn't as terrible as I'd heard / read , it would all depend on what one likes and how much value they place on slick movie making and professional sets , because there's none of that here . First comes an introduction by Zacherle , who invites you to strap on you... |
505,699 | 2,911,571 | 1,228,933 | 6 | just strange enough to be different , but not great | Laid to Rest begins with a woman waking up in a coffin , and eventually flipping it off the table on which it sits to free herself , only to find she's in a funeral home , and she has no memory of who she is . She manages to get out of there but not before she witnesses the killing of the elderly funeral director ( o... |
505,706 | 2,911,571 | 1,031,280 | 6 | OK effort but isn't this kind of like " Feast " ? | Splinter involves the unexplained appearance of some kind of prick-like things that apparently perform somewhat like mold , according to the resident biology student that just happens to be trapped at a gas station with his girlfriend and some dangerous ex-con . The boyfriend & girlfriend are out camping , but have to ... |
504,034 | 2,911,571 | 54,484 | 6 | Atmospheric but also unintentionally hilarious | I found this DVD cheap in a used bin so since it was an old Mexican horror film I grabbed it . The title puzzled me because I thought I'd never heard of it but in watching it , I realized that I'd seen it as a kid , and this is one of the films that K . Gordon Murray brought back from Mexico and dubbed into English for... |
504,533 | 2,911,571 | 453,451 | 6 | Not laugh-out-loud funny , but an amusing time-passer | I can't say I've thought too much about Mr . Bean's feature-length films , although I did like the short films that used to be shown on PBS years ago . One that particularly appealed to me was one in which poor Mr . Bean was attempting to fix a holiday dinner and ended up with his head stuck in the cavity of the turkey... |
505,065 | 2,911,571 | 75,917 | 6 | Richard Matheson / Dan Curtis teaming equals OK anthology | One would expect such a teaming to maybe be a bit more intense than what this is , but after all , it was a 70's made-for-TV movie , so for all that , it's OK , but not great . A very young Ed Begley Jr . is the main character of the first story , who buys & restores a 1920's " Jordan Playboy " and on his first drive h... |
505,005 | 2,911,571 | 59,382 | 6 | Strange and goofy | This odd little trio of films by Ray Dennis Steckler ( sometimes AKA Cash Flagg ) is his tribute to the films of the Bowery Boys , transplanted to So . Cal . in the 60's with rock'n'roll and hula hoops and skateboards and such . I guess the intent was to make family-type films but these come off as The Bowery Boys on a... |
