America 3000 (1986)

Let me just preface this article with the acknowledgement that I loved this movie way out of proportion to what it probably deserves. If you’ve seen it or do so in the near future, it’s a tossup as to whether or not you’ll feel the same way about it that I do. You might gag and roll around on the floor foaming at the mouth miming, “My eyes, my eyes!” But seriously, have you seen it yet?

Another movie that’s so good at being bad that it surpasses all expectations, America 3000 is the work of writer-director David Engelbach. You’ll join me if that name doesn’t ring a bell, as this movie was his single directorial credit.

“An outrageous post-nuke adventure!”

Vicious Lips (1986, USA)

K2

Never having seen Vicious Lips (also known as Pleasure Planet) when it was first released back in 1986, this is one of those cult movies that has been on my list for a very long time but I’ve never gotten around to seeing. Because it’s a little harder to get and they never seem to replay it on cable, I’d actually forgotten about it. So when it popped up on Comet, I DVR’d it like nobody’s business.

“Beneath a blood-red moon, the dream, electric. The planet, futuristic. The nightmare, animalistic.”

Turbo Kid (2015, Canada / New Zealand)

K2

Is Turbo Kid really a B-movie? Can a film be considered that grade if it’s an intentional and very aware homage? Or must it be classified something else? Ah, but it does the homage thing so very, very well…literally to a level that it exceeds the films that inspired it. What’s additionally amazing is that the makers of Turbo Kid are clearly aware of what they’re doing…

Halloween (2007)

Ken Wynne
Halloween (2007)

If you put all comparisons to John Carpenter’s 1978 original slasher aside, Rob Zombie has done an admirable job of trying to demystify the boogeyman. Micheal Myers is not the embodiment of pure evil, but rather a troubled and misguided soul whose self-induced isolation leads him on a killing-spree on Halloween night.

“Inside every one us, there exists a dark side. Most people rise above it, but some are consumed by it. Until there is nothing left, but pure evil.” PRESS PLAY ►

The Machine Gun girl (2008)

With non-stop gore and bonkers characters, this is the Japanese exploitation film that was one of the few to get noticed by the wider world and let the whole catalogue of Japanese exploitation get a foot-hold in world cinema.

Swamp Thing (1982) - Retrospective

From its humble DC comic origins through to its decidedly B-Movie appeal, Swamp thing is one of more interesting comic book failures, overwhelmingly camp in places, with some incredibly dated effects work, but brought to us by one of the biggest cult directors going, Wes Craven.

Dom, takes us on a retrospective look into the wonderful world of DC’s Swamp Thing. Head on in to see what’s going down in the swamp… PRESS PLAY ►
