1960s
Plot: mad scientist is making zombies out of natives on Caribbean island. What is I Eat Your Skin if not gloriously lunkheaded and outrageously hilarious Florida drive-in hokum from the Sunshine State’s foremost specialist of such things, Del Tenney? Arriving too late to be of any importance in shaping
2010s
Plot: young woman navigates a forest full of horrors and terrors. Little Red Riding Hood was (so far) the last of three European fairytale adaptations from California filmmaker Rene Perez. In the years before he had lensed versions of Sleeping Beauty (2014), and The Snow Queen (2013). Little Red Riding
1970s
Plot: martial arts instructor investigates the disappearance of her brother. That Cirio H. Santiago would try his hand at blaxploitation should surprise no one. He after all was the man behind Terror Is A Man (1959), as well as the first partially colored Filipino gothic horror with The Blood Drinkers
2010s
Plot: passive gamer must defend ancient China from barbaric warlord. The only thing that The Warriors Gate (released in Mainland China as 勇士之門 and most of the English-speaking world The Warriors Gate – except in North America where it was called Enter the Warriors Gate) has going for it that it’
1970s
Plot: an uncharted island, where nothing is forbidden. In a 2000 exchange for the documentary "A Hard Look" Indonesian-Dutch softcore sex and Eurocult queen Laura Gemser once, quite offhandedly, remarked to British film director, journalist, and actor Alex Cox that, “any excuse is good to get naked.” She
1990s
Plot: God made him simple. Science made him a god. The Lawnmower Man is one of those post-The Abyss (1989) special effects extravaganzas that for one reason or another never quite made it to the big time. It was mildly philosophical when it tried and attempted to be cerebral in
1960s
Plot: Eva’s milkshake brings all boys to the yard… To say it in the immortal words of the great philosopher Franz Josef Gottlieb: “Hurra! Die Schwedinnen sind da.” After Joseph W. Sarno’s Inga (1968) (with Marie Liljedahl) the only way to continue was to push the envelope further.
2010s
Plot: 100 contestants, 3 locations, 1 winner. Let the games begin. In lieu of Mermaid Team (美人魚戰隊) (2018) and/or Rescue (絕色營救) (2019) not yet having spawned their expected sequels due to the pandemic it’s up to the little guys to stick it out until the big names make
1970s
Plot: Waldemar Daninsky desperately tries to lift a curse on his bloodline. The seventh chapter in the ongoing saga of immortally condemned Polish nobleman Waldemar Daninsky The Return Of Walpurgis (for some reason released in the English-speaking world as Curse Of the Devil) restores the franchise to its former glory
2010s
Plot: one woman dares stand up against an evil industrialist empire. The second Babes with Blades feature came three years after the entertaining but ultimately misguided Warrioress (2015). The Flower Of Sarnia was conceived and conceptualized during post-production on Warrioress (2015), and it was to be even more ambitious than
1970s
Plot: two liberated adolescent girls escape their boring small-town lives. That To Be Twenty wasn’t going to be the average commedia sexy all’Italiana is more than obvious when it opens with “I was twenty, I won't let anyone say those are the best years of your
1990s
Plot: philandering private eye must diffuse hostage situation. Hilarity ensues! We’re not a fan of Jackie Chan. While arguably one of the enduring and popular martial artists in the western hemisphere, we find his shtick tiring and annoying in equal measure. As a general rule we take great pains
