A very, very, very, very stupid Indian Bigfoot movie with all the Bollywood trimmings
This once-banned Russian epic is a crazed exercise in historical revisionism centering on Grigori Rasputin, one of the Twentieth Century’s most fascinating personages
A most interesting product of the nineties filmmaking underground that mixes B-movie goofiness with then-state of the art video effects
A positively jaw-dropping stunner that deserves to be ranked alongside “classics” like THE ROOM and FATEFUL FINDINGS

Another case of a “lost” film that’s become an extremely sought-after item among horror buffs but, now that it’s finally been unearthed, turns out to be a disappointment
Bollywood’s take on JAWS, a wholly ridiculous action/suspense/romance/musical/monster mash!
