Double Agent 73
Published on
If I was lazy this review of Double Agent 73 would just be a copy of my review for the movie Deadly Weapons. But unlike director Doris Wishman I at least try to create something new with each review I write instead of just copying and pasting everything and changing a few names and locations….

Deadly Weapons
Published on
With the rise of the internet and the DVD in the early 00s came easy access to more obscure movies. It was that period that I really started to binge movies and sometimes the weirder the concept, the more interested I was in it. Last week I decided to clean up a hard drive and…

Caged Heat
Published on
I’ve seen my fair share of women-in-prison movies, most of them being starring blaxploitation queen Pam Grier. The amount of women-in-prison movies is staggering and most of them try to sell themselves to the mostly male crowd with the image of scantily clad women on the cover. Most of these movies are simple trashy throwaway…

The Arena
Published on
The Arena is a mashup of two genres: the swords and sandals genre and the chicks in chains movies. Instead of escaping from a prison located in some remote country, this movie has sexy ladies being enslaved by Romans who are eventually trained as gladiators so that they can compete in fights to the death….

Grindhouse
Published on
Finally after 5 years I got to see the Grindhouse project by Rodriguez and Tarantino in its original form, they way it was meant to be. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the story behind Grindhouse, let me fill you in: in 2007 these two directors wanted to recreate the grindhouse sleazy B-movie…

The life & death of the Erotic Thriller
Published on
About 20 years ago I was a regular customer at my local video store and they always had these catalogues for their customers with all the upcoming releases together with a synopsis of the movie’s plot and a picture of the video cover. I picked up a copy on a regular basis and never threw…

Hobo With A Shotgun
Published on
Another fake trailer ends up being turned into a real movie. Where Machete was an upgrade of the trailer, Hobo With A Shotgun uses an entirely new cast and is completely re-shot.Not a bad choice considering the premise might have been funny, but what was on screen in the trailer looked too much like 70s…

Machete
Published on
From fake trailer to real action movie; Machete is a project that has the joy of the makers dripping off the screen. Obviously a pet project for Robert Rodriguez and Danny Trejo whose character Machete has been part in the Rodriguez universe for quite some time now and was one of the most memorable aspects…

The Toxic Avenger
Published on
If New Line Cinema was the house that Freddy built, then Troma is the house that Toxie built, and well to be honest, the house Toxie inhabits in the movie does have a very Troma-feel to it. Of all the Troma releases this one might have been the one closest to being main stream and…

Surf Nazis Must Die
Published on
Surf Nazis Must Die was part of a Tromathon I attended yesterday in Amsterdam and was, unlike most movies I review, seen with a large crowd. In this case a large crowd with an interest for Troma. Something that does alter the experience of watching a movie like this as you can probably imagine. So…

Bitch Slap
Published on
Bitch Slap is an homage to the exploitation movies from the sixties and seventies when big breasted women were responsible for kinds of violence. Sailing on the current Grinhouse trend started up by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez comes Bitch Slap, a movie that is sort of a successor to Russ Meyers’ Faster Pussycat, Kill,…

Lesbian Vampire Killers
Published on
Even with a title like this it still always a surprise what you’re gonna get. It could be a great movie like Shaun Of The Dead, but then again you could also get another Zombie Strippers which nobody is actually waiting for I guess. It’s also a surprise as the title could refer to the…
