Dec 8, 2015Sword and Sorcery
One of the spate of sword and sorcery films that came out during this period, marginally better than most. The plot is a blatant copy of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo where a swordsman (David Carradine) sets two rival gang factions in a town against one another

Mar 11, 2026Teen Comes Back from the Afterlife to Get Laid Comedy
In the vein of frat house comedies of the era like Animal House and Porky's, this is an embarrassingly cringey film about a teen who is killed while trying to get laid and insists on lingering about to finish the job

Feb 17, 2016Prehistoric Lost Island/Softcore Comedy
A collaboration between B-budget hacks Fred Olen Ray and Jim Wynorski. Made not long after Jurassic Park, the two have simply made one of their usual softcore T&A films and slapped the word dinosaur on it

Jun 15, 2010Comic-Book Superheroes

Dec 28, 2014Monster Shark-Octopus Hybrid
Amid the fad for deliberately absurd killer shark films viz Sharknado, this surely takes the prize for ridiculousness of conception and delivery – a hybrid creature with the head of a shark and the tentacles of an octopus. I defy you not to burst into laughter at some of the scenes (*)

Jan 11, 2017Giant Hybrid Monsters
Entry in the gonzo killer shark film (viz Sharknado et al), sequel to the earlier Sharktopus Though produced by veteran B movie producer Roger Corman, these Sharktopus films are some of the shittiest in the gonzo killer shark fad, featuring way below sub par effects and missing the sense of humour
