Lowest Budget DVD Movies -
But Big on Entertainment
You've heard of low
budget films that are so bad, that they are actually
entertaining. Here are a few brief schlock movie reviews of
some of my favorites from Ed Wood and Roger
Corman.
If you
have never seen this film, you are in for a treat. Listen
to Criswell's dramatic opening dialog..."
Greetings, my friend.
We're all interested in the future, for that is where you
and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And
remember my friend, future events such as these will affect
you in the future. You are interested in the unknown... the
mysterious. The unexplainable. That is why you are
here."
"And
now, for the first time, we are bringing to you, the full
story of what happened on that fateful day. We are bringing
you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimony,
of the miserable souls, who survived this terrifying
ordeal. The incidents, the places. My friend, we cannot
keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty.
Let us reward the innocent. My friend, can your heart stand
the shocking facts of grave robbers from outer
space?"
In fact
that was to be the original title "Grave Robbers from Outer
Space"...but some how the local church that Ed Wood had
talked into financing the film, felt that Grave
Robbers from Outer Space was too wild.
So it was renamed "Plan 9 from Outer Space."
Bela
Lugosi's final film although he was in poor health, he
agreed to work in the picture for a couple of scenes before
he passed away. The rest of the scenes invloving Bela's
"ghoul character" utilized a double that looked
nothing like Lugosi. So he constantly covered his face.
Bela, reportedly wore one of the capes he used when
portraying Dracula.
The
film was named as 'Worst Film of All Time' in the book
"The Golden Turkey Awards." This is not really true as
there are far more unwatchable films than
this.
