Produced in 1953, this little Public Domain Gem follows the typical scientist hero as he and his OSI (Office of Scientific Investigation) partner try to track down a deadly new radioactive isotope which if left alone, would eventually destroy the earth. This is in my top ten favorite list for Tacky Drive in Horror and Scifi.
Most people think of a B movie as something concocted by the denizens of post WW II Hollywood, so I thought to include this little piece of cheese to prove that other nation's can also be known for the ripe smell of Lingerger (sp) emanating from their TV sets. This movie is a prime example of why it is important to not Film and Drink at the same time. It has some of the most unbelievably tacky scifi hardware ever put into a movie. The writing is funny and it sometimes seems that the writers had just returned from an all night wine tasting festival when they shlocked this one together. I hope you alien robots of undetermined origin with bad taste in sound effects, Zombified (Is that even a real word?) dead people with light bulbs for eyes, and some of the most fake screaming you ever heard. Enjoy the flick and try not to laugh too hard. :)
Here's another little jewel from the not so golden age of B movies. This one has everything, submarines, flying (or swimming) saucers, cyclopian monsters from space, and of course the overly melodramatic acting one would expect from these movies. Sit back and enjoy!
Well, just when you thought no movie would ever exceed the cheese factor of Plan 9 from Outer Space, along comes the Creeping Terror. This movie is the ultimate in Tacky B movies. The story is a bit weak, but the creature (which is made of hair and plastic tubes glued to a dirty shag carpet) has to be seen to be believed.. Its hilarious to watch the scantily clad bikini babe actually have top help the monster eat her. The audio is mostly gone due to an accident before the film was released, and 90% of it is simply a narrator filling in the gaps. Now sit back and enjoy the flick. And make sure you have plenty of cheeze wizz for this one.
Okay, here we have some prime cheese. While this film is not as tacky as most films made in it's time period, it maintains enough bad acting and rampant stupidity to make it fun to watch. It has everything from Atomic Submarines to a tense love interest factor, to (of course) a Giant Octopus. Modern filmmakers could learn a lot of what real horror and sci-fi is from this little number. Hope you enjoy.
Here we have the Quintessential Italian Spaghetti Space Opera. This little number has it all. From genetically engineered badl 4 armed zombie like creations, to some very hot ladies, this is Italian Schlock at it's best.Originally Titled "The Galaxy Criminals, this 1965 offering stars Tony Russell and Lisa Gastoni.
