 A celebration of B movies on the Web, Badmovies.org is an almost overwhelming source of information on flicks with a high cheese factor. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of the detailed film summaries on this site cover SF and horror pictures, giving genre fans a long list of delights to explore, from The Abominable Dr. Phibes to Zarkorr! The Invader.
The bulk of Badmovies.org's content is composed of what it calls movie reviews, but the term review is something of a misnomer. The site's creators do not content themselves with offering their bluntly honest opinions of cinematic greats like Fiend Without a Face or Humanoids from the Deep. In addition to detailed write-ups on the characters and plot of a film, they provide screencaps, sound clips, a minute-by-minute account of things to watch for and sometimes theme songs, too. For most films, there is even a tongue-in-cheek list of things the reviewer learned from watching the movie. (A sample lesson derived from The Angry Red Planet: "If it looks like a man-eating plant, then it probably is a man-eating plant.")
Badmovies.org also has interviews with a number of B-movie directors and actors, a lively message board, a beautifully indexed links area and even a T-shirt for site fans. Its news section is up to date and provides inside dirt on upcoming B-flick releases, studio gossip and more. Truly a labor of love, the site will absolutely delight any B-movie fan who isn't already a devoted visitor. |
