B-Movies And Awful Films

The Alligator People 1959 A scientist etreating man for reptile like skin condition with radiation accidentally doses him with too much radiation causing him o morph into humanoid Alligator, The makeup like the film is very unimpressive . The one thing of interest in this film is that Lon Chaney Jr is in it playing a crazy man with a hook for an arm a fanatical desire to kill the Alligator man.

Did the alligator man wear a watch with a loud tick?

If only Peter Pan and the gang had shown up. This film would instantly become one of the greatest movie send ups all time.

I used to think that Manos Hands of Fate was the worst until I watched Roller Gator last night.

I saw Mano

Kronos 1957 . a giant alien caches goes around absorbing the power from power plants. This is is an underrated but really good B movie .

Aline caches? I had to Google the film to get the gist but I’m struggling to see how autocorrect got from (probably) ‘alien robot’ to this!

Rollergator been on my Must Watch list for so long...

I fixed the Typo , it should be alien. The film is definitely worth watching.

I've just seen a trailer for something called "Space Wars: the Quest for the Deepstar" that really fits the B movie trope.

I want to see it, as it actually looks like it could be fun.

That , is a B movie and we need more of those in the theater.

I actually think it's quite nice that films like this are still being made.

I will look out for it.

Was that Michael Paré? Nice to see he's still working.

EDIT: Yep - one or 20+ films he appeared in made last year (and 32 in the pipeline). Busy man.

I tried watching Battle Star Wars [2020]
I didn't have high hopes of the Mockbuster but I could only last four or five minutes.
Even for a film from The Asylum, this was a dire effort.
Maybe it got better 6 minutes in. But I wasn't going to wait that long to find out.

You lasted longer than I did.

Yes , because there will always be. an audience for films of this quality .

Robin Askwith was in this at the same time as his better-known Confessions films.

Jack the Giant Killer 1962 is a pretty good movie --as a Seventh Voyage rip off--what hurts it badly is the godawful model designs.
Isn't it amazing though-technology has reached a point where one could easily alter a film--do pretty much anything now. You can even swap actors from a movie. It was impossible 20 years ago but now you can. The trouble is there are so many choices you can make--it almost becomes pointless to do anything because you can alter it so far beyond the original restraints.

I am just fooling around here on a modest level (ten minutes of work) but one could do so much to change a film fx now.
It would be challenging and fun to restrict changes to what was technologically feasible in the era without making it obviously CGI.

Man Made Monster 1941 A lon Chaney film I had not previously seen. in this one mad science turns man in to living lightbulb whose touch electrocutes people. It's actual not a bad film at all.

I've gotten on a streak of looking up old sci fi movies starting in the 50's and moving on from there. Last night, I watch Moon Zero Two from 1969. Late enough to know about Apollo 11.

IMDB has it rated at 4.5, but I thought it was better than that. Not great, mind you, but not all that bad. And I was surprised to see it was a Hammer production.

I love Moon Zero Two! It's a real chunk of 50s pulp SF made flesh. Some pretty groovy music too.
