I have two caveats for anyone who reads this. One, I didn’t pay the attention to this movie that I should have. That didn’t stop me, though, because Two: this has some spoilers. People die in this movie…

There’s a lot of bad movies out there. Tons of ’em. There’s different levels of bad movies in the world. There’s GLADIATOR bad, a bad in which the film is so grandiose that it tricks the average viewer into believing that it’s good…

One thing I get a lot of requests for while maintaining this site is for more reviews of drive-in style B movies of yesteryear. And while the cult film is a perennial favorite of mine, I tend to try and keep up with new releases and throw other various bits up to try and keep the site current…
