Sabretooth (2002)

Yet another made-for-TV Sci Fi Channel original movie. With terrible scripts, low rent CG, and low budgets consisting of pocket change and a used gum wrapper, these movies are perhaps more famous for being rip offs of better movie than they are for the list of B-list, C-list, and God only knows what-list levels of … Continue reading Sabretooth (2002) →

Legion (1998)

Made-for-TV misadventures, is there anything grander? Don't answer that, we both know there isn't. Legion is another made-for-tv movie, a 1998 science fiction horror picture that borrows more than a little from the likes of Aliens, Predator, and The Dirty Dozen. It's a story of prisoner soldiers in wartime turning on each other to confront … Continue reading Legion (1998) →

Moon of the Wolf (1972)

No, Lon Chaney Jr. was not in this movie. I know that's his kind of makeup in that terrible poster, but the actual werewolf is pretty much just a guy with a beard and black paint on his nose. Yeah, it's gonna be one of those kinds of movies. Two farmers discover the mauled body … Continue reading Moon of the Wolf (1972) →

Nightstick (1987)

New York City, 1980s. Crime runs rampant. It's up to one man, a cop-on-the-edge, to... wait, is that Leslie Nielsen? Robert Vaughn? John Vernon? Holy crap, this movie is more Canadian than a syrup-covered fistfight at a Maple Leafs game, with extra poutine. Bruce Fairbairn plays Calhoun, a tough cop in a tough city that … Continue reading Nightstick (1987) →

Dead Weekend (1995)

Dead Weekend is kind of like Repo Man with Emilio Estevez, in that it has a punk aesthetic mixed in with its tale of overly zealous government forces and an unknown force. Also, punks show up, and they're violent. Both appear to be set in Los Angeles. Both movies end the same way too, with … Continue reading Dead Weekend (1995) →

Larva (2005)

Before I begin, please understand that this was a made-for-TV movie. Sometimes those are gems, like Killdozer. Other times they can be laughably bad, like Gargoyles. Unfortunately, Larva sits somewhere in the middle, well within the realm of almost completely forgettable. In Larva, a new vet to the poorly named Host, Missouri, discovers a new … Continue reading Larva (2005) →

Killdozer (1974)

KILLDOZER Construction workers out in the Pacific are clearing an island for a mega corporation to develop. They must battle the elements, each other, and the alcoholism that afflicts them. But under the harsh regime of 1970s uber-corporate reality, they discover an alien entity subsiding within a meteor. And soon that alien lashes out with … Continue reading Killdozer (1974) →

Graveyard Disturbance (1987)

In the late 1980s, Lamberto Bava had a short-run series of made-for-TV movies called Brivido Giallo. Only 4 episodes were made: Graveyard Disturbance, Until Death, Dinner with a Vampire, and The Ogre. The Ogre may be the most notable due to its connection to the Demons series(The Ogre saw a release as Demons III in … Continue reading Graveyard Disturbance (1987) →
