I’ll admit it, I watch some pretty strange films. Take Computer of Death, for example. Here we have what amounts to an attempt at a Greek copy of Tron. Only it must have been made for less than you’d spend for a used car. You see, Paris Vellis is a genius computer expert. We know […]
Read more "Ta kompiouter tou thanatou [Computer of Death] (1987)"I’m not even sure where to begin with this one. I suppose it would help if I pointed out that Professor Kleks first appeared in a classic Polish children’s book back in the Forties. The author, Jan Brzechwa wrote three books about the character, and, in the Eighties, they actually filmed three movies about Professor […]
Read more "Pan Kleks w kosmosie [Mr. Blob in the Universe] (1988)"Why do these things keep happening? I was in the mood for a terrible, Grade Z movie — you know, the sort of thing Wild Eye Releasing puts out? — and watched one of their more recent offerings because their product description sounded like it might at least be entertaining: “In a distant future, an […]
Read more "Future Fear (Stellanomicon: Future Fear) (2021)"(aka, Polar Pursuit) Okay, I’ll admit it. Twelve Hours feels a lot like winning the big Jackpot. Yeah, yeah, I know I grumble all the time about all those Chinese made science fiction and horror films which keep appearing on Youku’s Youtube channel. About how they have all these great effects, potentially interesting storylines and […]
Read more "Ji Di Zhui Ji [12 Hours] (2022)"(aka, The Dark Knight, Ferocious) I’m willing to forgive a lot of sins when it comes to what I like to call a “Garage Band” movie. By that, I mean a film made with far more love than money, by a tiny group of people working out of their garage. Not that I haven’t seen […]
Read more "Dark Nemesis (2011)"(aka Sagiri no Kuni) It’s amazing. A truly remarkable development. I suppose it has to do with the rise of streaming video and the need to provide vast amounts of content to a hungry audience. But films which I once merely heard about but had little chance of ever seeing can now be found on […]
Read more "Howl from Beyond the Fog (2019)"Look. You saw the Asylum’s name on this one. And the SyFy Network’s. So you shouldn’t be surprised. I know it’s called “Bigfoot.” It is still a King Kong rip-off. I’ve never seen a Bigfoot this big before, but it really comes as no surprise when he climbs a certain famous monument. We’ve seen that […]
Read more "Bigfoot (2012)"This is an absolutely engrossing and exciting film which consists almost entirely of three guys sitting in a car talking. Yes, you read that right. What makes this an even more remarkable film is that it was made by two brothers with a little help from their Mom, a crew of three and four actors […]
Read more "Cosmos (2019)"Triclops has what must be Brett Piper’s finest hour. Now, for those of you who haven’t been paying attention, Brett is the last of the great stop-motion animators, a meticulous craftsman who creates some of the finest B-Movies anyone has made since the Fifties. And in Triclops, we get to see the titular beast — […]
Read more "Triclops (2016)"It can be almost comic to find out what science believed even a short time ago. Although the movies aren’t exactly the best guide for that. Wolfblood has been called the first werewolf movie. This is more or less sorta true, although not in the sense you think that should mean. It is also not […]
