What the *(BLEEP)* did I just watch????? There are no words to describe this film. Seriously. We’ve got grainy black and white nonsense about aliens visiting the small Canadian town of Grand Bosh (really Dresser, Wisconsin, but I can understand why no one wanted to admit it), which somehow drags in all sorts of strange […]
Read more "It Came from Somewhere Else (1988)"Let me come right out and say it: I enjoyed this film. Most of you won’t. Joshua Kennedy is one of a small but growing group of passionate filmmakers who create interesting movies – most often retro-tinged SF, horror or fantasy – on infinitesimal budgets. He is also one of the more accomplished of this group, […]
Read more "Slave Girls on the Moon (2014)"This is one of those efforts which suffers from the comparison with what we expect it should be. Somehow, the digital age led a lot of people to experiment with new art forms, although few of them have been particularly successful. I can remember Scott McCloud in his graphic novel, Understanding Comics, envisioning comics wrapped […]
Read more "Sufferosa (2010)"Two years after Feeders became a certified direct to video hit (as Blockbuster’s number one Independent film rental of the year) the Polonia Brothers made a sequel of sorts. This is a seriously strange film. Feeders, for all the inevitable flaws of a film made for next to nothing, was more or less a straightforward aliens invade and kill […]
Read more "Feeders 2: Slay Bells (1998)"It isn’t enough to say they don’t make movies like this anymore. The only place anyone ever made films like this was in Mexico, and even they didn’t make that many. This is one of the silliest movies ever made. Ever. It is also a lot of fun. I think the general idea here must […]
Read more "La nave de los monstruos [The Ship of Monsters] (1960)"(aka: The Prophecies of Nostradamus; Catastrophe 1999: The Prophecies of Nostradamus; The Last Days of Planet Earth) This is one of the best known completely unavailable films around. It is also one of the strangest in Toho Studios’ long history. Years ago, when AMC ran it along with the first US “release” of the Heisei era Godzilla movies […]
Read more "Nosutoradamusu no daiyogen (1974)"This one veers dangerously close to being a cult classic. Ignored on its original release, it managed to generate just enough interest for Troma Films to eventually buy the rights and re-release it. Some have argued that it is, in fact, the first teen horror film in which the characters have seen other teen horror […]
