THE WORLD’S GREATEST SINNER
A truly astounding early sixties artifact that remains frustratingly obscure
WOHI BHAYANAK RAAT
This film differs from other bad horror movies in that it’s a Bollywood horror movie. This means many large-scale musical numbers, much over the top melodrama, a two-and-a-half hour running time and a painfully low budget
THE WIZARD OF GORE (1970)
THE WIZARD OF GORE is a fairly typical H.G. Lewis production, meaning it probably won’t ever win any awards but is great fun for vintage gore fans
THE WHITE ALLIGATOR
Indonesian madness with a magic crocodile, a mystic queen, two mutant births, a blatant lift from THE EXORCIST, a homicidal tree, and much, much overall insanity
THE WARRIOR
A totally crazed martial arts fantasy, THE WARRIOR isn’t “good” by any means, but as surreal thrill-a-minute entertainment it’s hard to beat
WARLOCK
Far dumber than average eighties horror. It has some fun elements but has dated extremely poorly, and anyway isn’t at all scary
MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS
An early effort from the aptly named Asylum B-movie outfit, involving a giant shark, a giant octopus and eighties teen queen Debbie Gibson. Need I say more?
MATINEE
A pleasant enough baby boomer nostalgia piece from Joe Dante, worth seeing only for its affectionate tribute to the late William Castle
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
If you were a kid during the eighties then you probably remember the Masters of The Universe toy line and cartoon program. You may also recall the notorious Cannon Group, who according to one writer were responsible for “some of the shoddiest fare ever foisted upon the public.”
THE MANSTER
An American-Japanese co-production that apparently horrified an entire generation of sixties-era youngsters
