I Eat Your Skin (1971)

Not too bad

[30 November 2006]

I bought the "Elvira" version of this movie.The zombies with eyes that looked like fried sunny side up eggs were hilarious.They didn't have to spend too much on make up or clothing either.There is plenty of action combined with bad acting.The tantalizing and brief skinny dipping female in the early part made it fun to watch.Pretty racy for 1964.I also like the old airplane on the beach.What was an old horror movie with out an airplane.?The girls are pretty and they place a lot of importance on finding a blond virgin.The cheesiness of it is what makes it worth the time.I would recommend this one.Especially if you are a Baby Boomer who was raised on these stinkers.It helps if you like Elvira too.

Shriek of the Mutilated (1974)

Wow what a stinker

[19 September 2004]

I'm sorry to say I saw this one back in the 70's at a Drive In.We all laughed at it for months.We tried to determine if it was filmed in someones back yard and what the total budget was.The canniblism aspect was a good spin though.This movie was very good for laughs and comments like " Hey who's idea was it to watch this one?"I think it ranks right up there with Plan 9 ,Microwave Massacre and even Ishtar.Make sure you drink heavily when you watch it.It makes it easier.I do recommend it.Do not spend more than 2 bucks if possible.I would also recommend that you do not watch this one on a first date.Wait till at least the third,and it may even just be your last.

Onibaba (1964)

great and intriguing.

[4 August 2004]

Wow,I saw this movie on Cable recently.Both of the women in this story are just trying their best to get by and survive in a bad situation.I could tell it was on a limited budget but very well written.It was erotic with frontal nudity and even filmed in the 60's.It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.I was trying to figure out where they were going with the whole thing.I kept trying to decide if I sympathized with the old woman more than the young one.Then at the end I felt sorry for both of them.What a great story.This one needs to be on Cable more often.This one is a must see even for people who only like contemporary films.I would recommend it to anyone.

Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (1961)

Incredible Movie

[2 December 2003]

I first saw this film on The Twilight Zone when I was only about eleven.It was unforgettable.I believe it was a winner at the Cann Film Festival also.Just recently bought it and shown it to many friends.They all loved it.

The Foreigner (2003)

What a waste

[8 November 2003]

I have liked all of Steven Seagal movies up until now. This movie has a plot that is just barely breathing.It is almost impossible to follow.I think most fans watch Seagal movies for the martial arts scenes.Even these are terrible because Seagal is now old and slow.The fight scenes are very short,use slow and fast motion kind of like the Matrix but they can't quite pull it off.I felt as though I threw away 4 bucks when I rented this one.Don't do the same.

Reptilicus (1961)

"awfully" great

[20 January 2003]

I liked this film because it is so bad that it is actually good.The Monster,I believe ,is literally a hand puppet.I enjoy watching a movie which is intended as a serious piece of work and I have to ask myself if it is really a comedy.I love to describe this film to my friends who also enjoy really bad Science Fiction.
