Attack of the Eye Creatures (1967 TV Movie)
6/10
NOT a ripoff of Corman films
26 October 2005
Unlike what a previous reviewer said about this film being a ripoff of Roger Corman's films, it is not. AIP, who owned all the films Corman did during the 50s, decided they were going to remake these films as cheaply as possible ($30,000) and sell the to television. So, AIP hired Texas filmmaker Larry Buchanan and had him film Zontar the Thing from Venus,Curse of the Swamp Creature, In the Year 2889 ,Creature of Destruction ,and The Eye Creatures. These were all remakes of 50's AIP films. Yes, these films are all hastily made messes, and yes they are bad, but in an entertaining way. I for one miss by-the-seat-of-your-pants film-making, as well as miss the master, Larry Buchanan.

Things (1989 Video)

I've seen bad movies, but this takes the cake!!!
16 October 2002
I consider myself to be a bad film connisseur, but this movie is THE worst EVER!!! It's a badly made Canadian giant bug film, with even worse footage of former porno queen Amber Lynn edited between scenes as a reporter, reporting on things unassociated with this movie. Its a partial rip off of Evil Dead and Last House on Dead End Street, but without the charm of either. Watch at own risk,eh.

Great south of the border biker flick!
9 April 2002
This movie is alot of fun, and if you are a biker film enthusiast like I am, it's a must see. It's your usual tale of a biker gang terrorizing towns and robbing, raping, and killing everyone along the way. Its up to the two cops who put the leader Tarzan away years ago,to stop their reign of terror. Hilarious costumes for the bikers including colored mohawks, and one of the best biker movie themes ever.

those crazy italians
20 July 2001
ok those zany italians have ripped off yet another film! like "Alien Contamination" was ripped from "Alien", this baby was stolen from "Road Warrior". great homosexual theme too! maybe the lowest point in Fred Williamson's carreer? George Eastman ("Grim Reaper"- another great italian flick) is great as usual. but those golf carts as action vehicles? c'mon....
