And here we are. D-Day. And as 3B Theater once more goes live, we offer the latest batch of recycled and rehashed reviews for your reading or rereading pleasure. This time, we venture into the sleazy side of the 1970's with some soggy zombies, strolling monsters, and a serial killer. Also, a lurid kidnapping caper gone horribly, horribly wrong, a harsh lesson in civics, a couple of big-budget blockbusters that went bust, and perhaps the only pro-religion anti-drug gore film ever made.
Blood Freak :: The worst movie ever made? I say thee nay and mayhap, varlot! Verily, this pro-religion anti-drug gore film, that also has filmdom's only Were-Turkey, and a chick willing to sleep with it, is perhaps the greatest movie ever made! Read on...
The Candy Snatchers :: Whether its a forgotten and subversive gem or just another piece of vintage sleaze is up for debate, but what is definitely certain, they just don't make them like this one anymore. And whether that's a good thing or a bad thing I'll leave up to you.
Massacre at Central High :: Come for the massacre, stay for a degree in Political Science. Read on...
Orca :: After his King Kong remake dropped a giant turd, producer Dino De Laurentiis took another, more blatant shot at JAWS with a little Melville thrown in for seasoning. Best taken in small doses.
Octaman :: I really, really, really, really hate this movie. How much? This much.
Prophecy :: You'd probably expect something scary and suspenseful when the guys who brought you The Manchurian Candidate and The Omen team up to create thee monster movie. Well, you'd be wrong. So very, very wrong...
Shock Waves :: Where the only thing worse than being marooned on tropical island filled with water-logged zombies is being marooned on a tropical island filled with water-logged zombies who are also Nazis. Beware the danger. The danger in the water...
The Zodiac Killer :: You'd probably be expecting something kind of sleazy when the guys who brought you The Hellcats and Red Zone Cuba try to make a bio-pic on one of the Nation's most notorious serial killers. Well, you're right. So very, very right...
And we'll conclude this update, and help celebrate Halloween, with a trio of Monstrous Monster flicks from the 1950's: The suprisingly bloody Monster of Piedras Blancas, the toppling terror of The Monolith Monsters, and I Married a Monster from Outer Space, whose marquee destroying title kinda defrauds one or the most effecitve sci-fi thrillers of the era.
