B-Fest Roundup, 2023
Apr 3
It’s been a long time since I did one of these, hasn’t it?
Big Man Japan (2007), in which a Japanese TV comic asks, “What if it really sucked to be Ultraman?”…
Bloodrayne (2005), in which Uwe Boll does all the same crap he usually did in his heyday, but it brings me no pleasure this time…
The Boy Who Cried Werewolf (1973), in which Nathan Juran just isn’t cut out for the 70’s…
The Children (1980), in which Three Mile Island could have been worse…
and…
Thrilling Bloody Sword (1981), in which a bunch of Taiwanese guys raid the entire corpus of Western (or West of them, at any rate) fantasy adventure literature for source material, and make the strangest sword-and-sorcery flick I’ve seen in ages.
I’ve also got another newly rebuilt review:
The Phantom of the Opera (1943), in which I’m able at last to explain why it sucks, instead of just how.
El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.

Biggs mistake
Mar 6
If you have ever wondered how and why actor Jason Biggs has mostly slipped out of the Hollywood spotlight, well, efforts like Wedding Daze certainly didn’t help his career.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
It seems that director Fred Olen Ray reserved almost all of his time, budget, and resources for Cyclone towards rounding up an eclectic lineup of notable B movie actors, since there’s practically nothing else of interest in the movie.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
There’s enough good atmosphere, intriguing mystery, and creepy horror to be found in The Killing Hour (a.k.a. THE CLAIRVOYANT) to make it a real shame its distributor didn’t give it a decent theatrical release in its day.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
I started and abandoned a whole lot of sword-and-sorcery reviews back in 2020. This update gets me just about caught up on those. Also, although I’m taking a break from my kung fu movie studies here, I’m making up for it with a Hong Kong horror film:
Barbarian Queen (1985), in which Roger Corman, say what you want about him, was never under the misapprehension that women couldn’t headline an action movie…
Centipide Horror (1982), which isn’t quite a killer bug movie, but is instead about using bugs as delivery systems for black magic curses…
The Seven Magnificent Gladiators (1983), which is exactly the movie it sounds like, and yet not quite the one you’d expect once you learned that it was written by Claudio Fragasso and directed by Bruno Mattei…
Sorceress (1982), the developmental prototype for the Corman Conan Cash-In…
and…
The Throne of Fire (1983), in which the son of a wizard is the only thing standing between the Antichrist and a really nice chair
