The horror comedy Psychos In Love overcomes its rock bottom budget and becomes a very funny (and bloody) B movie.

One of the worst comedies of the 1970s, Whiffs is not just a very bad movie, its stupidity will make viewers extremely angry.

The horror movie The Bat People makes the idea of a human turning into a monster surprisingly boring.

When “Were-WHAT?” came up as the next B-Masters roundtable topic, my immediate reaction was, “Oh, no…” Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fun topic. But off-model lycanthropy is so much fun that it’s been one of my go-to subgenres for eighteen years. I’ve done were-cats; I’ve done were-snakes; I’ve done were-bugs. The whole cabal did were-jellyfish in 2009. I’ve even done a were-Gorgon, plus that one movie where Raymond Burr thinks he’s a were-gorilla. So it was a real challenge to come up with a were-whatsit weird enough to be worthy of the present undertaking. I think you’ll agree, though, that a vampiric were-reindeer amply fits the bill. And as is my wont, I reviewed a bunch of other stuff, too:

Alligator (1980), in which dumping unwanted baby alligators and hormone-contaminated dog carcasses into the same sewer is a stupid thing to do…

Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb (1971), in which storing the preserved body of an ancient sorceress in your basement isn’t a whole lot smarter…

Carmilla (1989), in which taking on a teenage vampire as a houseguest might be the dumbest thing of all…

Deadly Games (1980), in which a slasher tears through the setting of a 70’s prime-time soap opera that never was…

The Flesh and the Fiends (1959), in which those anatomy class cadavers have to come from somewhere…

Halloween II (1981), in which the Boogeyman gets demoted…

The Phantom (1931), in which a bunch of weary old Spooky House cliches go on an insane Xanax-and-Thunderbird bender, and wind up passed out under your back porch…

and…

The Velvet Vampire (1971), in which the director of The Student Nurses practices her Jean Rollin impression.

…just not enough of it, alas.

THE REPTILE (1966)

…in which an officious Brit sticks his nose into one “primitive Eastern religion” too many…though of course it isn’t him who pays the price…

I have also transferred over Cult Of The Cobra (1955) and The Snake Woman (1961).

An all-American true Christmas story is told by Canadians in The Man Who Saved Christmas.

The Italian actioner Indio 2: The Revolt is an above average effort by director Antonio Margheriti, exceeding your probably low expectations.

High school is already hell on earth, which is one reason why Fear No Evil – concerning the Antichrist doing his thing in teenage form – mostly falls flat.

The family movie Cloak & Dagger is very rough in tone at times, but is well done enough to make it worth a look for you and your kids.

Despite being a PM Entertainment production, Direct Hit is a lesser ’90s direct to video actioner.
