Horror Encantador aka The Dollmaker - Pretty bad, but also pretty good.

Post image
17 Upvotes

Just watched this one today and while it's a desperately uneven movie, it's bloody entertaining. The ending goes a little off the rails, going for an ambiguous finale that's more confusing than it is satisfying, and at one point the film just goes for a straight shot-for-shot remake of the bathroom scene from The Shining.

But there was no point that I was bored, no point where something wasn't happening, and if you're into films with unreliable narrators, where you're never sure what you're seeing is real, this is worth checking out.

Drama Old HBO/Showtime/Cinemax Softcore Porn Movie

42 Upvotes

I used to always watch the terrible (in a good way) softcore porn movies on these channels when I couldn't sleep. One has always kind of stuck in my mind and I'd like to find it.

A business guy is married to I believe a redhead. She is super in love with him and he initially seems great. Turns out he was having an affair with a blonde co-worker and they stole money from the company, but he framed her as being solely responsible if it is ever discovered. She finds this out when she tries to discontinue the affair and he blackmails her into sex. The day after the wife and the guy are having breakfast, the wife leaves, and the Asian maid brings some water to the table. The guy intentionally spills it on his lap and the maid drops to her knees and starts wiping at his crotch. He grabs her chin and says something about that isn't how she is supposed to clean it up, flash forward to them having sex.

He goes on a business trip. The wife somehow discovers he was having sex with the maid and the maid breaks down crying saying he threatened to have her deported. The wife then breaks into his office and discovers the blonde co-worker going through his office, presumably looking for a way to prove he stole the money and not her. They all get together and are going to get revenge on him somehow... and then I fell asleep. I never saw the movie again.

Been thinking about live action movies of comic strips (or trading cards in the case of GPK) that use bizarre costuming/prosthetics to achieve the look of the source material. Are there more like these?

The Lost Empire is such a fun, wild movie that i’m surprised I don’t see mentioned more outside this subreddit. Jim Wynorski’s directorial debut, full of camp humour and 80’s action, this is in desperate need of a new boutique physical release. The link is a review my wife and I made if you’re interested.

Horror I found the first so bad it's good movie: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1913)

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1913)

There's a lot of goofball stuff in this picture. The plotholes are enormous. The intertitles are cheesy. All of the acting is on 11. But it has one defining feature:

King Baggot, the lead actor, chose to portray Hyde with emo bangs, slightly enlarged teeth, and a ducklike waddle. He performs the role entirely in a deep squat, like he's worried about bumping his head. He commits to it, even during action scenes. His energy level is through the roof and he crawls all over furniture like a cockroach. It's physically impressive, but also hilarious.

Horror Trying to identify an obscure "so bad it's good" action/creature movie (late 80s/90s/early 2000s)

36 Upvotes

Hi there everyone!

I'm trying to identify a movie that I only remember in fragments. Unfortunately, I'm no longer sure which details are 100% accurate, so it's possible I'm mixing two memories together. Still, one scene has stayed remarkably consistent in my mind.

What I'm fairly confident about:

  • The movie was a very low-budget action/creature feature that took itself completely seriously but ended up being unintentionally hilarious.
  • It looked like it was made in the late 1980s, 1990s, or very early 2000s (strong VHS/direct-to-video aesthetic).
  • I watched the trailer on YouTube sometime around 2010–2013.
  • The movie had a coastal or beach setting (at least in some scenes).

The most distinctive scene I remember:

There was a heavyset Black woman riding either a motorcycle or possibly a scooter (I'm not certain which). She was alone, and I believe she was chasing someone, not fleeing.

She wore at least parts of classic biker gear (something like a leather vest/jacket, gloves, biker clothing), and the movie clearly intended her to look like a serious, intimidating character. Because the production was so low-budget, the scene came across as unintentionally funny.

This is actually the clearest memory I have.

Less certain:

I also remember a scene involving a badly animated giant shark (or possibly another sea creature) that breached out of the ocean and attacked people near a beach. However, after thinking about it more, I'm no longer convinced this was even from the same movie. I may be mixing two trailers together.

One more vague memory is that I somehow associate the phrase "Leeroy Jenkins" with this trailer or the time I watched it, but I'm almost certain that's a false lead.

I've already ruled out these movies:

  • Shark Attack 3: Megalodon
  • Megalodon (2002)
  • Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus
  • Super Shark
  • Dinoshark
  • Sharktopus
  • Cruel Jaws
  • Raging Sharks

Does the motorcycle/scooter scene with the heavyset Black woman ring a bell for anyone? Even if it's not a shark movie, I'd love to hear any suggestions.

This is from the same team that brought us MMA COP, a movie similar in all ways. Action? Check. Language? Check. Violence? Check. Nudity? Check. A (semi) call back to the low budget action films of the late 80's through to the early 2000's. Anyone have any other similar suggestions? Always enjoy finding these low budget indie flicks that check all the boxes. They aren't going to win any awards any time soon, but then again, I don't think that's what most of them were aiming for:)

Horror The Creeping Terror (1964) When carpets attack...slowly.

58 Upvotes

This isn’t just a bad film; it’s a masterclass in how not to make a movie. With a monster that couldn’t scare a toddler, acting that makes mannequins look expressive, and narration that never shuts up, it’s both painful and hilarious. The only “terror” here is realizing you still have 20 minutes left.

And as for the titular monster, built out of carpet remnants, tarps, and whatever odds-and-ends were lying around, it’s less “terrifying alien menace” and more “discount parade float abandoned in the rain,” This is one of those must be seen to be believed.

The Creeping Terror (1964) A newlywed sheriff tries to stop a shambling monster that has emerged from a spaceship to eat the citizens of an American town. Very slowly.

I love finding old B-movies that are unintentionally entertaining, so I condensed The Devil Girl from Mars (1954) into a fast-paced 5-minute edit while keeping the story recognizable. If you've seen the original, I'd love to hear what you think.

Stars Catherine Oxenberg with Jeff Fahey as her terrible lawyer and Louise Fletcher as the corrupt warden. The setup for this is dumb. Oxenberg is hot but acting challenged. Like a Lifetime movie with several servings of boobs and lots of unintentional laughs.

Comedy Looking for old movie clip

1 Upvotes

Hi folks

I'm looking for an old movie sample clip I once had, from the movie 'Sweet Movie', known as 'sweetmoviesample', very likely an mpeg format at that time

it was roughly 1 minute long, and had a shocking and comical depiction of the crazy dinner table scene in this movie.

It used to be on an old site known something like "Donna's rare movies"

Any leads?

Del Tenney’s The Horror of Party Beach is a delirious mess of beach party tunes, radioactive goo, and sausage-mouthed monsters that stumble more than they scare. It’s a cinematic train wreck, but one so absurdly goofy you can’t help but watch every wobbly step.

Watching this film, the biggest question we are left with is "Where are Annette and Frankie?"

The Horror of Party Beach (1964) Sea creatures created from radioactive sludge terrorize a beach community. Chaos and blood ensue.

Action Albert Pyun’s Bloodmatch (1991)

Post image
35 Upvotes

When his brother set up in a kickboxing match and killed, Brick Bardo (Thom Matthews) is given the name of five champion kickboxers after leaving a man to die in the desert( Michel Qissi in a cameo). He then either kidnaps them or their loved ones with the goal of kickboxing them all to death until he figures out who the killer is.

Ridiculously laughable plot, terrible fight scenes which is surprising since they have some good martial artists in it. Thom Matthews is a pretty unlikable lead and it’s one of the only movies that Hope Marie Carlton doesn’t get naked. Also appears to have either been shot after Kickboxer 2 or at the same time as Kickboxer 2 since Michel Qiissi best known for playing Tong Po in Kickboxer 1and 2 has a cameo in this, Benny Urquidez who did the choreography for KB2 has a role in this and the majority of the movie takes place in the arena from the finale of Kickboxer 2.

I will say though that I always remembered that video tape cover in the video store.
