Mutant on the Bounty (1988) |
Just kind of there, and it doesn't really seem to be appealing to anyone in particular. - Daily Grindhouse

The Jitters (1989) |
A mess of a movie, but it's not a dull one, and there's no point during the brief running time where you won't be entertained - Daily Grindhouse

Midnight (1989) |
Redgrave's flamboyant persona keeps it watchable even if the movie itself is pulled in so many directions that it fails to reach any of them. - Daily Grindhouse

Hitler's Daughter (1990) |
It's got a certain ridiculousness to it and it's never dull so much as nonsensical. - Daily Grindhouse

Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds (1989) |
It could easily bore anyone who isn't willing to just sit back and enjoy (illicit substances may help) but it looks beautiful. - Daily Grindhouse

Iron Sky (2012) |
A solid little satire with some impressive-looking set pieces that doesn't have a sadistic bone in its body, and that's not a bad thing at all. - Daily Grindhouse

Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS Collector (2012) |
You may end up wanting to build a video store in your basement as well, even if you may have a problem getting that cleared with the other members of your household. - Daily Grindhouse

Buried Alive (1990) |
One of the network's finest forays into features, even if, on paper, it seems like it would barely have enough plot to fill up a segment in a Creepshow sequel. - Daily Grindhouse

(undefined) |
An insanely revolting film, going out of its way to shock and disgust in ways that feel more like a dare than anything resembling a narrative - Daily Grindhouse

Rattled (1996) |
A PG-13 creature feature stripped of wit or fun, punctuating commercial breaks not with snake attacks but with family drama. - Daily Grindhouse

Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide (2010) |
A fascinating look at the golden age of home video and the controversies that rose from its prominence - Daily Grindhouse

Warm Bodies (2013) |
The perfect film to see if you bring along your friends or significant other that's into "zombies" but not Zombie - Daily Grindhouse

Cheap Thrills (2013) |
The sort of original, intense, darkly comic character-driven thrill ride that I'd love to see more genre filmmakers working on - Daily Grindhouse

Borgman (2013) |
A film for a pretty specific taste and an openness to being perplexed. - Daily Grindhouse

Neverlake (2013) |
Prime material for a particularly dark slumber party, and the finale is chilling enough to send shivers up a fairly hardened horror fan's spine - Daily Grindhouse

Alien Space Avenger (1989) |
Can be downright entertaining to an audience with their expectations in check and a case of beer at the ready. - Daily Grindhouse

Windows (1980) |
While it's far from a perfect film, it's nowhere near the travesty its reputation suggests. - Daily Grindhouse

Saving Grace B. Jones (2009) |
A sadly muddled mess that never comes close to settling on what type of film it's supposed to be, and more importantly, what it's supposed to be about. - Daily Grindhouse

Devil's Knot (2013) |
It never quite finds a reason to exist, and that's a genuine shame, as a case as multi-dimensional as the one it used as source material should have more than enough inspiration. - Daily Grindhouse

Deadly Game (1991) |
Exactly the sort of hugely entertaining potboiler that TV movies were made for. - Daily Grindhouse

|
Drinking Games (2012) |
Lacks the same self-confidence that its characters lack, attempting to overcompensate with a loud, brash act when it doesn't need to because it's a solid enough story with identifiable situations on its own. - Daily Grindhouse

Way of the Wicked (2014) |
Never quite finds a motivation to be anything more than a 90 minute time passer. - Daily Grindhouse

Boardwalk (1979) |
An odd mixture of understated drama and allegory for urban decay, but it's never less than compelling thanks to the performances of the two stars. - Daily Grindhouse

Dead Husbands (1998) |
A surprisingly mean-spirited bit of black comedy that sometimes feels like two different tones at war with each other but still manages to be consistently entertaining. - Daily Grindhouse

The Space Invaders: In Search of Lost Time (2012) |
Serves as a great springboard into this cultural renaissance, spotlighting some of those that paved the way and supply the much-needed resources for the vintage video games to be played well into the future - Daily Grindhouse

Tin Can Man (2007) |
Unique and eerie enough to be worth seeing, even if the almost comically lackluster lead character hobbles the potential emotional investment it could have had. - Daily Grindhouse

Murder 101 (1991) |
Simultaneously ridiculous and clever, entertaining and familiar, and something you'll be perfectly comfortable having on while you fold laundry, but won't be too concerned about if you miss a few minutes of while you feed the pets. - Daily Grindhouse

All Cheerleaders Die (2013) |
More of a fun examination of cultural tropes rather than a subversive take on gender constructs. - Daily Grindhouse

The Dog (2013) |
An expertly-crafted documentary on a riveting subject, and one that leaves you only wanting more than its 105 minutes could show. - Daily Grindhouse

Chains (1989) |
Provides a fair share of violence, a decent-looking but underdeveloped gang, a smattering of social context and a little bit of character development, but it never quite does any of these things well or loudly enough to really stand out from the pack. - Daily Grindhouse

MurderDrome (2013) |
You can see the love of making the movie coming across on screen until its well-conceived closing credits roll. - Daily Grindhouse

Sharknado (2013) |
Lacks the sincerity that the likes of Plan 9 has or the genuine ambition & talent of much of the output Corman produced in the '70s that made those drive-in films so endearing beyond the concepts and poster art used to get people into the theater. - Daily Grindhouse

The Final Terror (1983) |

The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) |
A good-natured film, even if a majority of the cast meet their deaths by being on the wrong end of a giant power drill. - Daily Grindhouse

Curtains (1983) |
Has some amazing moments even it doesn't add up to much, and there is a reason that scenes like a murder on ice have become more iconic than the film itself. - Daily Grindhouse

Duplicates (1992) |
A perfectly satisfying little technothriller with some entertainingly archaic technology, like a budget-deprived version of a Michael Crichton adaptation - Daily Grindhouse

Stranger by the Lake (2013) |

Time Trackers (1989) |
Time Trackers has a problem. A serious, serious problem. And it's all in the ending - the very, very ending, the final scene that leads to the credits. - Daily Grindhouse

Beneath (2013) |
The characters are so one-note and annoying that it doesn't manage to be anything close to compelling as a character drama, and they're not bold enough archetypes that it plays as satire. - Daily Grindhouse

The Station (2013) |

Girlfriend From Hell (1990) |
Ideal for mindless, half-drunken TV viewing in which all you require is that what you're watching be engaging enough to keep you occupied while you're waiting for the pizza to arrive. - Daily Grindhouse

HazMat (2013) |
Well-paced enough that the more negligible aspects of it can be overlooked and those with a love for some old-school slasher antics should give it a try. - Daily Grindhouse

Camp Dread (2013) |
It may not reinvent the genre, but it certainly embraces it in a perfectly entertaining fashion, rarely falling into the traps in which so many retro-slashers become burdened. - Daily Grindhouse

Vannin' (2013) |
Provides a great look at a world I'd only known about tangentially, energetically presenting it as a welcoming world that I'm glad to get a glimpse of. - Daily Grindhouse

Ten Little Indians (1989) |
Christie's original story is made of stern enough stuff that even Towers couldn't make a completely worthless version of it - no matter how many times he tried. - Daily Grindhouse
