Mutant birth nightmare from It’s Alive III
It's Alive III: Island of the Alive is my favourite from Larry Cohen's mutant baby franchise. Why? Because it doesn't take itself seriously as witnessed in this insane opening scene.
Little Devils: The Birth (1993)
While this is no Gremlins, Little Devils is a blast from start to finish. I went in expecting dull garbage, instead I found scratching my head about its poor reputation.
Watermelon massacre
If Mr. Majestyk taught me anything it is do not... I repeat... do not fuck with Charles Bronson's watermelons.
Dodongo (ドドンゴ)
The way Ultraman treats Dodongo is genuinely disturbing. It's like watching a psychotic child torturing an animal. He even rides him at one point, which is both funny and unsettling.
Girls, Girls, Girls – German poster
I don't know what this movie is, but its poster is seriously freaking me out.
Kid has face torn open by guy who looks sort of like Eric Roberts
Outside of Hong Kong cinema, it's pretty rare to see gratuitous kid death in a movie. Brian Yuzna breaks that rule very early on in Beneath Still Waters by tearing a child's face open. Yikes.
Pretty Woman (1991)
Yes, Pretty Woman is a big piece of crap, but it's also, in many ways, a perfect CAT III outing. This is not CAT III's finest, but it could well be the most CAT III CAT III movie ever made.
Zatoichi eats dirt (and reacts appropriately)
Recently, we featured Zatoichi eating a rock. This week we bring you Zatoichi eating some dirt in Zatoichi and the Fugitives.
Party Camp (1987)
I thought there was no such thing as an 80s teen sex comedy I couldn't enjoy. Even at [what I thought was] their worst, their energy, gratuity and downright stupidity kept me entertained. This was yesterday. Before I watched Party Camp. Fuck.
Orloff and the Invisible Man – French poster
I've definitely watched Orloff and the Invisible Man — or whatever other title you know it under — but I have zero memory of it. I think I might have liked it. Either way, I love this purple-drenched French poster for it!
Slow motion silliness in Trancers II
This scene from Trancers II has it all: Tim Thomerson, gunfire, squibs, slow motion stupidity, disintegrating zombie idiots, a cutaway to terrified old ladies, and an awkward one-liner.
Real Time Tapping Report: Pillow Talk (1993)
Pillow Talk is an impressive achievement and staggering proof that thoughtful cinema — on both a visual and thematic scale — can be made with next to no money and a tight schedule.
