Feeders (1996)
Holy Smokes
Words cannot describe this film; until 'Feeders' I thought I could handle anything, you name it. I love horrible, campy flicks but this one really just blew me away. Shot on a budget of 50 bucks (I watched the commentary), the film was literally made by 3 guys. The aliens were made out of stockings sprayed with latex, and the entire movie was shot on videotape. The two main actors were the directors, cameramen and pretty much everything else. They actually had to add fake names to the end credits to make it seem more legit, but really, the movies is just horrible. From a cinematic standpoint, the movie just blows, but if you love cheap sci-fi that you can just have a good laugh with, this is really kind of an entertaining film.
Hobgoblins (1988)
Hobgoblins...yup.
So, we're looking at a pretty basic low-budget 80's critter flick here. Watch it with after "From Justin to Kelly" and you may see some unsettling similarities...
Anyways, forget all the stuff about the hobgoblins creating people's fantasies and the relationship between the main character and his girlfriend. Watch this film for these four scenes:
Scene #1: The rake-fighting. Sweet Jesus, the rake-fight scene. Two young men square off with yard tools. As far as I can tell, the guy Nick has returned after 6 months in the military training facility. His idea of showing his friends some of the moves he learned involves rupturing someone's spleen.
Scene #2: Anything involving the slutty gal. Frankly, she is quite, um, "rail-like" in appearance and being loose in the pants is just about the only way she can attract guys. Enjoy her dated 80's style too! Bon apetit!
Scene #3: The band, the Fontanelles play a lovely song called "Kiss Kicker" and its not that bad of a song for a punky 80's jam 80's style 80's 80's 80's (80's). Watch the people in the crowd dance, well, move in place, to the #1 summer hit, "Kiss Kicker".
Scene #4: Lastly, please, enjoy the scene where Club Scum is blow up randomly and the hobgoblins run amok. So much weird stuff happens I can't even begin to describe it. It is insane. Seriously.
Buy this film, or at least get the poster because man, this movie will make you feel better about the home movies you made as a kid pretending to be a superhero.
Future War (1997)
Heh, heh, heh. Poodles in Dinosaur costumes.
Wow. I have this on tape. I couldn't believe it was made in 1997. It looks like it was made in the early 80's. That's how bad this is. (On another note, the MST3K version is good. Z'Dar is funny.)
