Metamorphosis (2007)
Feb 13, 2009Modern-Day Elizabeth Bathory
A Countess Bathory film actually made by Hungarians (the area where Bathory lived historically) but this promptly heads into extremely bad movie territory

The Lost Future (2010)
Mar 6, 2012Post-Holocaust Cavemen
This feels like a remake of the Roger Corman post-holocaust cavemen cheapie Teenage Caveman. It cannot escape that at heart it is never more than a B movie about caveman fighting mutants
Age of the Dragons (2011)
Jul 29, 2015Epic Fantasy/Moby Dick With Dragons
This has a concept so ridiculous it might actually work – a fantasy version of Moby Dick. The sea captain's obsessive hunt for a whale is transplanted to a fantasy kingdom and the whale made into a dragon
Immortals (2011)
Nov 19, 2011Greek Myth
A venture into Greek myth retelling the story of Theseus and the labyrinth. Tarsem Singh, a director with a visually extraordinary eye, lavishes everything on the sets and costumes. One film of the 3D overkill fad that needs to be seen in 3D
Awaken (2012)
Jun 6, 2014Romance Across Time in Dreams
This is a romance film with conceptual ambitions that starts out by killing the heroine in the first scene and then has she and the guy meeting in lucid time-travelling dreams
Oƨombie (2012)
Oct 8, 2019Osama bin Laden as a Zombie
This surely takes the cake amid the fad for wacky zombie films in which Osama bin Laden is resurrected as a zombie. Imagine a mash-up between Zero Dark Thirty and a zombie film
The Northlander (2016)
Jan 23, 2018Post-Holocaust
Post-holocaust film made by and starring Canadian First Nations people. While the film uses the aftermath of a civilisation as a setting, it never seems that interested in exploring it. The film peters out in an uninteresting resoution and features some appallingly pretentious dialogue
