An odd adaptation of Lloyd Kaufman's All I Need to Know about Filmmaking I Learned from the Toxic Avenger, Terror Firmer is self aware and gives a fun, alternative idea of what it might be like working on a Troma film. Plus murder.

Terror Firmer (1999)

Welcome back! It’s the third week of Troma Month here at B-Movie Enema and it’s time to go back, sorta, to the James Gunn well. This week, I’m gonna be talking about 1999’s …

The second week of April's Troma Month featured one of the early classics from the production company. Take a trip to Troma's bully-infested campus in Class of Nuke 'Em High!

Welcome back to Troma Month here at B-Movie Enema! Last week, it just so happened, the month started with a leadoff home run with Tromeo and Juliet, a movie that I believe, by the time we finish th…

April was Troma Month and the lead things off is the excellent Tromeo and Juliet from 1996. Funny, at times exciting, and starring actors from Troma's stable who are giving it their all. Plus, the James Gunn scene is killer.

It’s Troma Month here at B-Movie Enema! Heck yeah, this is looooong overdue. I think the best thing I need to do to start things off here is to admit something. I don’t really have a gr…

The second week of B-Movie Enema's trip through 70s Black Horror introduces us to a photographer in Houston who gets help from a voodoo queen to right the wrong of her boyfriend's murder in 1974's Sugar Hill.

Sugar Hill (1974)

Let's raise the dead on this week's new review at B-Movie Enema! It's the second week of my little theme month exploring some gems of 70s blaxploitation horror films. This week, I'm digging into 1974's Sugar Hill from director Paul Maslansky. First and foremost, don't confuse this with the 1994 movie of the same name starring Wesley Snipes. While both of these movies have a crime element, the earlier film takes place in Houston, while the Snipes vehicle takes place in the Harlem neighborhood of Sugar Hill.

One of the all-time classic MST3K episodes ever was for the Canadian action-thriller The Final Sacrifice. But I wanted to review the uncut, unriffed version. So... I did!

Big Man Japan is a Japanese mockumentary about a superhero who grows giant and fights monsters. It's also extremely funny in very dry ways as well as very over-the-top ways.

1994's Black Belt Angels is bad. I mean it's maybe something a pre-teen girl might enjoy and maybe her little brother would get into it, but it's not for anyone over the age of, say, 13. Mad that I saw it? No, but I could have found a better use of my time.

Surf Nazis Must Die has one of the most appealing titles you could ever find in the 80s B-movie landscape. Naturally, it was a Troma release.

Spooky Month this year belongs to Black Cinema here at B-Movie Enema. I've got five cult classic films from both all-time great black filmmakers and those that fall into the lovable category of blaxploitation. Kicking things off we have the vampire tale of Ganja & Hess!

Ganja & Hess (1973)

Welcome to spooky month here at B-Movie Enema! This year, I decided to do something a little bit different. Throughout the history of B-Movie Enema, and you should be aware of this if you've been around here for a bit, I hope I've been able to properly state that I love October and I love blaxploitation. For this year's theme, I thought to myself, "Why not mix the two?" So, yeah...

Of all the videotapes at the local ma and pop video store that all the kids dared each other to watch while at a sleepover, Faces of Death was one of the kings.

Candice Rialson is an all-time great beauty of 70s exploitation cinema. One of the Roger Corman-produced movies she made was 1974's Candy Stripe Nurses. Sadly, I kind of expected a little more from it.

1981's My Bloody Valentine is an interesting horror flick from the early slasher days. While small and made on a shoestring budget, it's often looked at in modern times as one of the shining stars of the era.

The next 500 reviews at B-Movie Enema begins now! Where better to start than to call on an old friend? That's right, it's time to get that Loving Feeling from Norman J. Warren.

The big surprise of Pia Zadora Month turned out to be the kooky little sci-fi musical comedy Voyage of the Rock Aliens. I'm sorry I never knew this movie until I was doing my research as to what to pick for this month. It's a ton of goofy fun.

By far, the most infamous of Pia Zadora's movies was The Lonely Lady. It probably should have been the final, headlining review of the theme month I dedicated to her, but, hey... I went in order and I'm not that smart {kind of like the movie itself).

The middle entry of Pia Zadora Month was actually not a movie, but one of those filmed live stage performances that cable and PBS used to air. It's also maybe the best of all five entries in this theme month - Pajama Tops.

The second movie in Pia Zadora Month earlier this year was known by two names. Some of you may have seen it on cable or home video as Nevada Heat. Others might have seen it as Fake-Out, but probably most of you didn't watch or care about it anyway.

Galaxina almost works. It feels incomplete but has a few good set pieces. It also feels like the plot zigs and zags too often. Sadly, it's mostly the one piece of legacy in mainstream Hollywood for the slain Dorothy Stratten.

Norman J. Warren is a favorite around these parts. In fact, he's got another movie getting reviewed very soon. But Spaced Out was his return to sex films, in this case a sex comedy and it's... okay. It definitely has some bits that work well.

Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor, as it turns out, is a sort of sequel to The Deadly Spawn. While the sequel really isn't very good, the monsters look great and that helps make it at least somewhat watchable.

1983's The Deadly Spawn is kind of the little movie that could. On a lean budget, it turned out a pretty good little monster flick with great looking worm creatures.
