  • Hunterwali

    The most important thing that I need to communicate to you about Hunterwali is that, for the uninitiated, it will likely come across as the most yelling-est movie ever. more ›

  • Wolf Devil Woman

    There are three actresses whose presence in a movie exponentially increases its likelihood of being head-scratchingly bizarre. They are the high priestesses of Taiwanese weird fu. more ›

  • Golden Eyes: Secret Agent 077

    Golden Eyes: Secret Agent 077

    Indian spy movies from the 60s tend to be delightful despite themselves. The typical Bollywood film’s emphasis on communal values and lack of irony made them ill suited for portraying the kind of smirky hedonism so often displayed in Western… more ›

  • Devil’s Man

    Devil’s Man

    A baffling Eurospy film that’s as cheap as it is bewildering The Devil’s Man is a really odd — not to mention staggeringly cheap — little Eurospy film from director Paolo Bianchini, the man who spoiled Superargo for everyone with… more ›

  • When Women Lost Their Tails

    When Women Lost Their Tails

    With When Women Lost Their Tails, what we get is like the lyrics of a Gang of Four song acted out within the context of a slightly naughty fanfic version of The Flintstones. If nothing else, it certainly makes for… more ›

  • Neutron vs. The Death Robots

    Scenes such as those certainly do contribute to an air of breathless excitement — almost as if we are watching a story projected directly from the brain of a sugar-addled eight-year-old boy who’s caught up in the excitement of recounting… more ›

  • Beyond the Wall of Sleep

    Beyond the Wall of Sleep

    I darted over to the IMDB and perused the user reviews for Sleep, of which subject lines like “Quite possibly the worst film I’ve ever seen”, “Avoid at all costs”, and (emphasis mine) “The single worst movie I’ve ever seen”… more ›

  • Dynamite Johnson

    Dynamite Johnson

    Dynamite Johnson is pretty much a textbook example of a filmmaker proving his exploitation acumen by making the most of both his resources and concept. “What textbook?,” I hear you ask. “Where can I get it? Will I be tested… more ›

  • Zombie Lake

    No matter how much I run Zombie Lake into the dirt, I can’t deny the enjoyment I got out of watching it. Its combination of schmaltzy sentimentality, surprisingly forthright sleaze, and apathetic horror movie pastiche really does add up to… more ›

  • Who Wants to Kill Jessie?

    Who Wants to Kill Jessie?

    Alongside all of its surface froth, Who Wants to Kill Jessie carries a simple political message that’s pretty hard to miss – that authority’s attempts to suppress the dreams of its subjects have a tendency to force those dreams into… more ›

  • Do Ankhen Barah Haath

    Do Ankhen Barah Haath

    V. Shantaram was an artist of conscience who dedicated himself to using the filmic arts as a means to further social causes. At the time Do Ankhen Barah Haath, Shantaram was a good few years beyond his most acclaimed works. more ›
