Strip Club Massacre (2017)
Miserable movie
I love B movies. I love C movies. I love movies that are good. This movie, however, is the cinematic equivalent of "that kid" that got called on to read in English class that everyone hates.
I actually couldn't make it through the entire movie. The pacing is awful. An hour in and the only thing the we have established is that the main character had an awful day and got a job at a strip club where three other girls just randomly murder patrons and coworkers. That's it. It took an hour to get all of that information out.
Not only does the pacing fall flat, but the acting and cinematography is all terrible. Somehow we've sunk below modern porn standards; nothing in this movie is engaging. Nothing in this movie is interesting. Noting in this movie even looks good.
Go find a movie that doesn't take itself so seriously.
Bad Girls (2021)
So good it's good
I really enjoy bad movies. Watching 80s B movies is a favorite pastime of mine. This film came across my radar on some unrelated 80s movies, and I decided to give it a go.
As far as B/indie movies goes it's really good. If this was released in 1989 this would have underground cult classic status. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously, and for what it is the acting is not half bad. The cinematography of the movie is also spot on, for the most part. The style and theme of the movie somewhat breaks down in the third act, and it feels like the movie didn't really know how to end itself.
But looking at it from the perspective of B/Indie movie cheap thrills and laughs the movie has you covered. Essentially a cast of characters sourced from a goth club partake in sex, drugs, rock and roll, and a gracious topping of over the top violence.
Great way to spend an afternoon.
Streets of Vengeance (2016)
It is what it is
Streets of Vengeance is what it is, a less than B rate movie evoking nostalgia from the era of 1980s trash straight to betamax/VHS. It is what it is. It doesn't really do anything special. For B movie standards the cinematography is halfway competent. The art direction, especially for the posters and wardrobe is absolutely spot on and captures the idea of the movie well, and the soundtrack for the movie, pretty much entirely composed by Vestron Vulture captures the straight to VHS synth music that props this style of media up.
The story however is lack luster, it doesn't break any ground or try to do anything too new, but it's just uninteresting and doesn't hold too much water. The pacing of the story just overstays its welcome. Around the 30 minute mark I felt like I had been watching for well over an hour.
Artistically though, I feel a lot of this could be forgiven if there was an actual 4:3 aspect ratio release or even a VHS release, a lot of these complaints would disappear as it could be written off as irony or commentary of the B films of that era.
Still worth a watch with your friends who love bad movies.
