Starship Troopers (1997)
Jul 29, 2010War with Aliens
Travesty of Robert Heinlein's classic SF novel from Paul Verhoeven. Heinlein's philosophical argument for militarism is junked in favour of blackly comic mindless violence
Patrick Muldoon
The Second Arrival (1998)
Nov 20, 2000Alien Infiltration and Takeover
Low-budget and fairly indifferently made sequel to David Twohy's quite good alien invasion film
Chain of Command (2000)
Apr 19, 2007Action/Hijacking of Presidential Nuclear Codes
Halfway reasonable action film in which US President Roy Scheider is taken hostage by Taiwanese terrorists who want to use the nuclear launch codes against China. The surprise about the film is how political it is willing to get
Red Team (2000)
Jun 15, 2004Rogue FBI Serial Killer-Hunting Team
Serial killer thriller about an FBI team who realise they are hunting a killer who targets other serial killers
Heart of America: Home Room (2002)
May 15, 2018School Shooting
One thing you don't associate with Uwe Boll is a concern for social issues. Made in the aftermath of Columbine, this is an early Boll film that is a surprisingly solid attempt to address the scourge of US school shootings
The Steam Experiment (2009)
Jul 9, 2015Imprisonment Thriller
This offers one of the more original twists on the Saw set-up – Val Kilmer plays a professor who imprisons a group of people in a steam room slowly turning the temperature up as a protest against global warming.
The 7 Adventures of Sinbad (2010)
Jan 27, 2013Modernised Arabian Nights Adventure/The Asylum Mockbuster
Cheap mockbuster from The Asylum that was designed to exploit the success of the flop Prince of Persia. While ostensibly a Sinbad film, this confusingly abandons the Arabian Nights milieu and is set contemporary where Sinbad is not sailor but a corporate CEO stranded on a desert island
In the Dark (2013)
Jul 14, 2021Blind Woman and Her Stalker
A bland tv movie thriller in which a blinded woman Elisabeth Röhm finds that her homecare aid is an obsessive stalker who has fixated on her
Spiders (2013)
Apr 16, 2013Giant Spiders
When you approach this in terms of exactly what it promises to be - a revival of the good old B movie standard of the giant spider film - this proves absurdly entertaining and with some surprisingly good CGI spider effects
Little Dead Rotting Hood (2016)
Sep 13, 2020Little Red Riding Hood Resurrected as a Werewolf Hunter
This had me watched on the basis of the title alone. An Asylum production, this is less a twisted take on the fairytale than one that turns Little Red Riding Hood into a werewolf hunter
