No Plot

Quest for the Lost City aka The Final Sactrifice

The version I watched said ‘Quest for the Lost City’ on the titles, but this was the best cover art for it.

OK, OK, let’s get the good bits out of the way first, that shouldn’t take long. The cinematography here is pretty good: for a decidedly low budget flick, they never try to do anything beyond their means and it’s preet well shot.

It’s just a shame that the screenplay, plot, acting, etc. just wasn’t anywhere near as good. At the time of writing, this film was the 14th worst rated on IMDb, which should give you some idea what we’re dealing with. In truth, this is nowhere near as bad as that makes it sound; this film was given the MST3K treatment and as such got far more exposure than it otherwise would’ve done. Were it not for this, it’d surely merely be wallowing amongst the ‘rubbish’ rather than the ‘shockingly awful’.

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (Gojira VS Supesugojira )

You’d have thought a single teaser scene, linking to a positive review would be free marketing for them, right? No, as we move into 2010, it seems big money studios are still too technology-illiterate to imagine the internet might actually help them]

The Nights of Terror (Le Notti del Terrore)

Another day, another Spaghetti Zombie flick. Fresh from the prime years of Italia’s Zombie cycle comes Andrea Bianchi’s Nights of Terror.

This film has been called a lot of things. Good isn’t usually one of them. IMDb reviews run from a verdict of “unintentionally hilarious” to “unbearably awful” and, whilst there’s definitely elements of the latter, I must side with the former.

Like so many of the others (and indeed, most of the films I cover here…) it gets off to a bad start on paper.
