Final Combination (1994)
Nov 10, 2003Serial Killer Thriller
Thriller with Michael Madsen as a detective searching boxing clubs for a serial killer. This has one of the most inanely ridiculous scripts one has seen in some time
Michael Madsen
Species (1995)
May 28, 2003Alien Sex Fiend
Slick and rather silly copy of Alien that conceptually cross-hatches it to emerge as essentially Basic Instinct with tentacles
The Sender (1997)
Jul 22, 2000Alien Visitor/Psychic Powers/Action
Action film with Michael Madsen and a mystery alien woman fighting a government coverup of UFOs to retrieve his abducted daughter
Species II (1998)
Jun 2, 2001Alien Sex Fiend
Sequel to Species that this time offers up the male of the species. The film feels put together as an exercise in makeup effects but their physiological absurdity causes the film to topple into silliness
Sacrifice (2000)
Sep 9, 2007Escaped Con Hunts Serial Killer
Michael Madsen is a bank robber who makes an escape from jail and goes on the run to track down the serial killer who killed his daughter
Die Another Day (2002)
Jan 11, 2003James Bond Film
Pierce Brosnan's final outing as James Bond lacks the sharpness of the preceding entries and is hampered by Halle Berry who is given great presence but nothing to do. Despite which this has some of the best action scenes of any Bond film
Sin City (2005)
Aug 20, 2005Graphic Novel Adaptation/Ultra-Violent Film Noir Tales
Robert Rodriguez's adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novels is groundbreaking and one of the most visually adventurous films in years. A trio of film noir-styled tales where he sets out to replicate the look of Miller's comic panels
BloodRayne (2005)
Mar 29, 2008Videogame Adaptation/Vampire War
Another Uwe Boll's videogame adaptation, this feels slung together from vampire film and sword and sorcery cliches. Among the badly mismatched casting, the most eyebrow raising is Ben Kingsley as the vampire villain
Scary Movie 4 (2006)
Jun 21, 2006Genre Spoof
Fourth of the Scary Movie films and the usual crude inanity, although under David Zucker the movie parodies have expanded well beyond what can be labelled scary movies any longer
Tooth and Nail (2007)
Apr 8, 2015Post-Holocaust Survival
Modest post-holocaust film that tries to do something different to the usual action derbies of Mad Max 2 et al, focusing on the survival efforts of a group of young people
Ligeia (2009)
Jan 14, 2012Modernised Edgar Allan Poe Adaptation
Modernised adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe story. Poe might be turning in his grave with visits to fetish clubs added to the mix but mostly the film befalls a low-budget and tepid delivery
Green Lantern: First Flight (2009)
Feb 14, 2010Animation/DC Comics Superhero
The DC Universe Original Animated Movies conduct a solid and worthwhile animated retelling of the Green Lantern origin story, which delves into all the aspects of the mythos
Piranhaconda (2012)
Jun 22, 2017Giant Hybrid Snake
Amid the spate of deliberately ridiculous monster movies of the 2010s, we have also seen a fad for absurd hybrid creatures. In actuality, the piranhaconda is just a giant snake – and served by some incredibly bad effects in this negligible effort from B-budget hack Jim Wynorski
Infected (2013)
Aug 19, 2021Zombie Film
Forget about the ostensible explanation about outbreaks of Lyme Disease in the script, this is another zombie film in all but name even if the phrase is never mentioned
Lumberjack Man (2015)
Nov 17, 2017Slasher Parody/Undead Lumberjack
An hilarious parody of the slasher film in which an undead lumberjack invades a Bible camp, slaughtering the teens in a series of over-the-top deaths to use their blood as syrup on his pancakes
Megalodon (2018)
Dec 16, 2019Giant Prehistoric Shark
The Asylum's low-budget mockbuster copy of The Meg, which is an irony in that The Meg was really an Asylum killer shark film with an A-budget. Two sequels followed.
The Lurking Fear (2023)
Apr 21, 2024H.P. Lovecraft Adaptation/Abandoned Asylum
Another low-budget H.P. Lovecraft adaptation, this abandons all but the bare bones of the story to create a work about abominable experiments lurking in the halls of an abandoned asylum
Monster Mash (2024)
Apr 28, 2025Classic Monster Bash
The Asylum conduct a monster bash – a crossover between the Famous Monsters – and actually do a modest and quite enjoyable job that pays affectionate homage to the characters
