Just passing through…

 

I’m still supposed to do this, right??

 

Anyhoo…very best wishes to all our B-Movie-ites for the New Year, and a sincere hope that you and yours are safe and well.

I won’t go back to this future

FutureworldAmerican-International Pictures continuing a story that originated from a major Hollywood studio certainly promised a drop in quality, and Futureworld shows just how it happened.

“Pact” with horror goodness

The PactYou don’t need tens of millions of dollars – or even just one million dollars – to make a decent horror movie, and The Pact is proof of that.

This movie really blows

The Trumpet Of The SwanSub-sub-sub par efforts like The Trumpet Of The Swan go a long way in explaining why the demand for American hand-drawn animated theatrical movies evaporated completely.

Has This Ever Happened Before?

I’m not sure I’ve ever posted an update in which the newest film reviewed and the oldest were separated by more than a hundred years. At the very least, it can’t have happened more than once or twice.

 

Bad Meat (2011), in which it’s an open question whether the inmates of a reprogramming camp for juvenile delinquents were worse off before or after the camp staff got turned into mindless rage-zombies…

Bones and All (2022), in which awards-bait romance and explicit cannibalism are the two acquired tastes that taste really frigging weird together…

The Frozen Dead (1966), in which the mad scientist and his Nazi paymasters would have a much easier time getting their Fourth Reich up and running if his lab assistant would stop helping

Halloween (2018), in which it’s another open question whether Michael Myers or Laurie Strode is the crazier one this time around…

Planet of the Vampire Women (2011), which comes within a hair’s breadth of living up to all the implications of that title…

Queen of Atlantis (1921), in which H. Rider Haggard’s Ayesha isn’t the only terminally horny sorceress-queen lounging around North Africa seducing European explorers…

and…

School of the Holy Beast (1974), in which I had no idea they made naughty nun movies in Japan!
