Feb 14, 2012Troma Film/Possessed Killer/Bad Taste Splatter
Troma film that ventures back into their regular bad taste territory. This often feels like a film that never coheses into a particularly clear idea of what it is trying to do, possibly the result of six different directors

Nov 17, 2012Cyborg Hero/Deliberately Bad SF Film
Produced on a budget of $1000, this is a miracle of no-budget filmmaking. Intended as a homage to/parody of 80s/90s cyborg action films, this contains some extremely accomplished effects posing and a sidesplitting ear for the era's dialogue cliches

Jul 8, 2019Malevolent Leprechaun
Leprechaun was a hit of the VHS era. The surprise is that the series has had the legs that have carried it as far they have. This, the eighth of the films, was made to celebrate the series' 25th anniversary and contains many tributes to the original
