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. Read the review from last February at wp.me/p9XNnZ-614

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. Read the review from February 2025 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-60R

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. Read the review from Valentine's Day 2025 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-60F

Xtro from 1983 is a ooey-gooey gorefest sci-fi/horror flick that is one I actually like quite a bit. Xtro II: The Second Encounter sucked. Read the review from February at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5Zs

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. Read the review from January at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5Xg

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). Read the review from January at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5X7

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. Read the review from January at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5TW

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. Read the review from January at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5TP

January of this year became Pia Zadora Month at B-Movie Enema. I picked out five movies in which she appeared in as not herself but as actual characters in the plot. They are all kind of infamous, but none more than Butterfly. Read the review from January at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5TG

Celebrating 500 reviews at B-Movie Enema this week! The only question remains is how to best commemorate the occasion? By going to the "holy grail of holy fucking shit" that is 2005's Dangerous Men.

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. Read the review from December 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5OB

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. Read the review from December 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5Oo

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. Read the review from December 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5Og

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. Read the review from December 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5O9

This week, B-Movie Enema heads north of the border for a little Canadian thriller by William Fruet, 1982's Trapped.

Of course I would talk about Madame Web. I'm a comic nerd. I also write a blog called B-Movie Enema. Of course Madame Web would show up here. Read the review from November 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5IO

In 1975, Best Friends was one of the early movies to orbit the concept of men coming back from Vietnam where one of them is not well adjusted to return to civilian life. It's a near-miss of a movie that with a couple of small changes could have been a great hidden gem.

Twister's Revenge! That's right! Twister's Revenge! Who doesn't love a computerized, AI-powered, living machine of a monster truck? Twister's Revenge! Read the review from November 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5Hp

Portrait of a Showgirl, aka Portrait of a Stripper, sounded like a good idea to cover on the blog. It really kinda wasn't. Read the review from November 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5Hg

In 1985, Academy Award nominated actors Jodie Foster and John Lithgow starred in a little drama based on a strange true crime case about the death of Thomas Edwin Bartlett. This New Zealand flick was called Mesmerized. Read the review from November 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5H2

A few years ago, I reviewed the original. Now there's an update/remake out in the theaters, so let's take a look at the original sequel, The Toxic Avenger Part II, and watch Toxie take on bad guys even in Tokyo!

To celebrate last year's Halloween, I looked at the Spanish move The Vampires Night Orgy. The movie is, at times, fairly tense and full of some spooky atmosphere in this small town in the middle of nowhere. Read the review from Halloween 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5Fs

The Wizard of Gore is Herschell Gordon Lewis' crowning achievement in schlock gore horror. Is it a good movie? Not really, but it's definitely an interesting watch. Read the review from October 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5Ej

The exploitation horror theme for October 2024 was the choice I made because I wanted to feature this very movie for the 450th review at B-Movie Enema. Yes, it's an entire review in total defense of 1978's I Spit on Your Grave. Read the review at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5AH

October 2024's theme for the Halloween season was to feature movies in which exploitation was on full display. Everything kicked off with the Wes Craven all-timer classic, The Last House on the Left. Read the review at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5At

Let's go down under... to the OTHER down under, New Zealand, for another cult classic from the 80s! This time, I'll be reviewing the zombie sci-fi splatterfest Death Warmed Up!

The 90s was a hell of a decade for erotic thrillers. Any chance for a pretty woman using her body to get what she wants or some sort of story that deals with dual personalities or psychiatrist shenanigans. Read the review from September 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5z5

Kiss of the Tarantula is the sensitive 1975 drama about a girl who feels isolated from the other young adults in her town. Her mother was a cheat. Her uncle is a creep. Her best friends are... you guessed it. Tarantulas. Read the review from September 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5xl

Beast of the Yellow Night is another Eddie Romero flick from the Philippines. This has a little bit of nice folklore feel from the islands about a deal with a devil in which one of the Lord of Lies' agents body hopping to ruin their lives. Read the review from September 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5xe

Quiet Fire didn't quite make the cut for July 2024's Quly theme, but it made the cut to be covered. The movie was... not good. Read the review from September 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5vI

John Carpenter doesn't really make movies anymore, but what was the last movie he directed? 2010's The Ward which I think is actually better than it got received. Read the review from August 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5sC

Who doesn't love a sequel? Well, okay... How about who doesn't love dinosaurs? Hell yeah, it's time for a review of 1995's Carnosaur 2!

Pamela Anderson is enjoying a bit of a renaissance lately. Last year, I covered Barb Wire, a comic book adaptation (as well as a remake of Casablanca) that actually would work if she was doing then or had the directors then that she has been getting lately.

You'd think with a title like Brain of Blood, you'd be getting something pretty awesome, right? Well, it's an Al Adamson movie so that should tell you all you need to know. Read the review from August 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5q2

1983's Xtro is one of the great early 80s horror responses to E.T. and also a pretty stellar cult classic. It's gross. It's gooey. It's interesting. I dig it. Read the review from August 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5pS

Sort of like The Quiet Earth, Ravagers is a movie that is more interesting than the normal stuff here at B-Movie Enema. This is more of a post-apocalyptic story, though and not so much the hard sci-fi of the other. Art Carney is really good in this though.

It's really hard to know what to think about Queen Kong. It's bad... VERY bad. But I think it really is going hard on the camp and definitely playing with gender roles in a time that would not have even been attempted. Still... It's REALLY bad. Read the review from July 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5mc

This week, B-Movie Enema is tasked with trying to solve 1974's Puzzle. Check out the new review below.

The trippy Kiwi sci-fi picture The Quiet Earth might just be one of the most interesting and compelling movies I've ever covered on this blog. If you're a sci-fi fan, I compel you to watch this movie. Read the review from July 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5m6

Quintana: Wanted Dead or Alive from 1969 was a part of Quly, and it's the first Spaghetti Western that got the written review treatment at B-Movie Enema. It's pretty decent and one of the few movies directed by Vincenzo Musolino who died young on his 39th birthday.

The Quest kicked off Quly in 2024 because, after hundreds of reviews, I had never covered any movies that started with the letter Q. Why not kick it off with a guy who kicked a lot, Jean-Claude Van Damme? Read the review from July 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5ju

Auntie Lee's Meat Pies is one of those movies that turns out to be way better than it has any right to be. It's got eye candy, some recognizable faces and names, and the right amount of camp to make this a very enjoyable schlock masterpiece. Read the review from June 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5fi

Charles Bronson's 10 to Midnight is actually a pretty damn good thriller that gets pretty tense in the final act. Read the review from June 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5f7

Don't be too spooked, readers. This week's B-Movie Enema review will take a look at the low-budget 1980 monster sci-fi flick Scared to Death from director William Malone!

Dee Snider's Strangeland is almost a forgotten classic. Sadly, when it could go one way, it goes the other and totally loses its way. Still there's almost something great here. If only it didn't completely fumble the opportunity. Read the review from June 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5cX

American Rickshaw is a bonkers movie. I... I really don't know what else to say about it other than it is many layers of crazy. Read the review from June 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5cR

1987's Summer Camp Nightmare is kind of a weird movie. In a way it feels like an afterschool special, but it also really wanted to be an R-rated movie while failing to be all the sleazy. Read the review from May 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5bC

Admittedly, I thought Rolling Vengeance was going to be like a giant monster truck made into something of a Killdozer, but it isn't. It's actually kind of a surprisingly grounded revenge flick with a home made monster truck. Read the review from May 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-5a6

Burt Reynolds was a fantastic actor. At one point in his career, he was the box office draw. In the mid 70s, he made a fun little honky tonk heist movie that is as charming as he was as an actor - W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings. Read the review from April 2024 at wp.me/p9XNnZ-51u
