Beyond Forgiveness (1994)
Aug 14, 2004Action/Organ Harvesting
Action film with Thomas Ian Griffith tracking the killers of his brother to Poland and uncovering an organ harvesting scheme run by Rutger Hauer
Nu Image
Blood Run (1994)
Jun 9, 2003Psycho-Sexual Thriller
This blatantly copies the plot of Basic Instinct with detective David Bradley being seduced by bisexual blonde Anna Thomson who is also the suspect in a murder investigation
LunarCop (1995)
Jul 5, 2004Post-Holocaust Action
Low-budget Mad Max copycat with Michael Paré as an officer from the lunar colony who comes down to Earth to take on the marauders of the post-apocalyptic wasteland
Project Shadowchaser III (1995)
Nov 21, 2003Shapechanging Killer Android
Third in the series about android terrorists, this is now about an amok android on a spaceship
Cyborg Cop III (1995)
Jun 14, 2010Killer Android
A completely ridiculous action film (that features no cyborg cops) and instead concerns the attempts to create an army of cyborgs using insect DNA
Past Perfect (1996)
Dec 12, 2004Assassins from the Future/Action
SF action film with Eric Roberts as a future cop travelling through time trying to stop kids before they become criminals
Judge and Jury (1996)
Mar 2, 1999Executed Killer Returns
A ridiculous supernatural action film where a madly overacting David Keith plays an executed killer returned from the dead to seek revenge against cop Martin Kove
Redline (1997)
Apr 2, 1999Near Future Russia Thriller
Standard action film made interesting by the choice of its setting in a post-Soviet Russia Cyberpunk future
American Perfekt (1997)
Dec 13, 2000Road Movie Psycho-Thriller
A surprisingly good road movie psycho-thriller focusing on various people travelling a desert highway where it becomes apparent that one of them is a serial killer
Outside Ozona (1998)
Feb 23, 2008Road Movie Psycho-Thriller
Thriller following several different people as they drive towards the title Texas town, while a serial killer calls into an all-night radio talkback
Cold Harvest (1998)
Sep 13, 2001Post-Holocaust Action
This is a competent but unremarkable action movie variation on the Mad Max film set in the aftermath of a plague as Gary Daniels must guide a group with an immunity through the wastelands
Shark Attack (1999)
May 28, 2014Killer Shark Film
Killer shark from the 1990s heyday. This works passably as the B movie it is intended as, while the last third turns into the schlockily absurd with the insertion of two different corrupt conspiracy elements and action movie chases
Bridge of Dragons (1999)
Oct 31, 2005Action Film/Atemporal Kingdom Setting
A Dolph Lundgren starring action film about a coup in a kingdom that exists as an oddly atemporal mix of clashing historical periods
Spiders (2000)
Dec 23, 2019Giant Spiders
In a whole bunch of ways this - plausibility being a big one of them - is a bad film. On the other hand, it does boast an entertaining array of giant spiders all emerged from a space shuttle crash
Octopus (2000)
Jan 27, 2006Giant Octopus
B-budget mix of giant animal film and submarine drama with impoverished effects and a script only notable for its ludicrous improbabilities
Crocodile (2000)
Mar 28, 2017Giant Killer Crocodile
Tobe Hooper delivers an entry amid the early-00s vogue for B-budget CGI monster movies, drawing clear inspiration from Lake Placid. Hooper had not made a good film since the 1980s and this does little to reverse the path of mediocrity
Octopus II (2001)
Apr 28, 2021Giant Octopus
Sequel to the ridiculous Octopus, this is slightly less cheap but no less absurd in its premise of a giant octopus attacking New York
Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (2002)
Jan 18, 2024Giant Prehistoric Shark
John Barrowman fights a giant prehistoric shark in a film that gained a certain reputation as a Bad Movie
Alien Hunter (2003)
Feb 18, 2013Alien Unearthed in the Antarctic
Film about a mysterious alien artifact unearthed in the Antarctic that falls apart due to a script that is constantly jumping all over the place and spending more time homaging other science-fiction films
Larva (2005)
Feb 19, 2020Genetically-Engineered Larva Amok
Monster movie about larvae emerging from genetically engineered cattle feed and becoming giant bat-like creatures. When a film casts Rachel Hunter as a corporate lawyer, it is not exactly aiming for believability
Mansquito (2005)
Mar 24, 2020Human-Mosquito Hybrid Monster
B-movie in which a chemical spill at a lab causes a mass murderer to turn into a giant mosquito hybrid. An efficient cobbling of cliches that comes out as a B budget variation n The Fly.
The Black Hole (2006)
May 25, 2008Black Hole & Electrical Monster Amok
Of all the concepts in physics, the wildest of these is the black hole. It seems highly disappointing that this set out to be a film about a black hole but all we get is a film about an electrical monster amok
The Wicker Man (2006)
Nov 18, 2007Pagan Religion
The 1973 version of The Wicker Man is a cult classic; this is one of the worst remakes of all time that gets nothing about the original right, blunts its themes about religion and tosses in crude shocks and killings
Flu Bird Horror (2008)
May 30, 2013Mutant Bird Attacks
The Bird Flu Epidemic was a brief panic over an influenza outbreak that infected humans; this seems to little concern the film that blows it up into a horde of large mutant birds that attack humans
It’s Alive (2008)
Aug 1, 2013Killer Mutant Baby
Larry Cohen's 1974 cult classic about a killer mutant baby gets the remake treatment. Even though Cohen co-writes the script here, the remake manages to wring anything interesting out of the original
Train (2008)
Nov 26, 2024Torture Porn/Organ-Harvesting Train
A blatant copy of Hostel featuring tourists caught aboard a train in Ukraine that runs an organ-harvesting operation
Shark in Venice (2008)
Jan 28, 2011Killer Shark Film
This is where the Sharknado and the modern gonzo shark movie phenomenon began. A ridiculous and cheap film that forgets the necessary tongue-in-cheek attitude and comes out as cheap on all fronts
Quantum Apocalypse (2010)
Jan 17, 2013End of the World Film
Another cheap Syfy Channel end of the world film. So cheap that the catastrophe mostly ends up being talked about rather than depicted, while the rest of the show runs by disaster movie cliches
Drive Angry (2011)
Feb 26, 2011Occult Car Chase Film
Essentially a supernatural version of a 1970s car chase movie with Nicolas Cage as a motorist who has escaped from Hell to settle a score. This makes a play for the trashy and absurd and comes out all the more entertaining for it
Spiders (2013)
Apr 16, 2013Giant Spiders
When you approach this in terms of exactly what it promises to be - a revival of the good old B movie standard of the giant spider film - this proves absurdly entertaining and with some surprisingly good CGI spider effects
Texas Chainsaw (2013)
Jan 11, 2013Backwoods Brutality
A Texas Chainsaw sequel in 3D with chainsaws and gore coming out at the screen seems the complete antithesis of the raw savagery of the original. The result is like a formulaic modern slasher, while the film is wrecked by a ridiculous reversal of sympathies in the last half
