![]() ![]() Highway Hell (1941) Low-budget exploitation flick about prostitution. A young pimp puts his girls to work by dropping them off on the side of roads and having them hitch rides with passing men to seduce them. He befriends the impressionable teenage son of a motel owner, to try to convince him to take over the motel so that he can use it as a base to operate his prostitution business out of. Awful script, awful acting, awful directing, and awful editing, makes for an awful movie. In the right hands, this story could've been wildly entertaining, but alas, it was not to be. |

![]() ![]() Gun Girls (1957) Low-budget crime flick about girls gone bad. Bad directing, bad acting, ridiculous script, unintentionally campy. This is the type of movie that probably inspired John Waters to become a film maker (which is a good thing.) |

![]() ![]() Voodoo Island (1957) B&W horror flick about voodoo. A wealthy hotel developer hires a celebrity myth-buster to help him look into the disappearance of 3 of his employees who vanished on a surveying trip to an uninhabited island. One of those films where nothing much of interest happens throughout the story until almost the end, and even then it isn't enough to justify the time spent watching. |

Tim Farrell! A member of Ed Wood's "stock company", so to speak. I definitely have to see this one! |

![]() ![]() Creature with the Atom Brain (1955) This one is a bit like 'Frankenstein' with a zombie/robot twist. A wealthy criminal obsessed with revenge, meets an unscrupulous scientist and funds his experiments which produce the ability to reanimate recently deceased people, give them superhuman strength, and manipulate them electronically via remote control. The late, great, Roky Erickson even wrote a song about it... Creature With the Atom Brain (Live) |

![]() ![]() Beginning of the End (1957) Low-budget sci-fi/horror flick about hungry, gigantic, mutant locusts with a taste for human flesh. The locusts grow to enormous proportions after eating plants which were created in an experimental agricultural lab which was using radiation to grow vegetables and fruits into oversized specimens. This one sort of falls into the "so bad it's good" category, but it was just so genuinely bad overall that I couldn't rate it any higher than 2 out of 5 stars. The poster for the movie gets a solid 5/5 stars from me, though. |

![]() ![]() The Undercover Man (1949) Crime film about a group of U.S. Treasury agents investigating the finances of a mob boss in order to bring a charge of tax evasion against him. Not the most exciting plot but I thought the movie was well done. I'm puzzled by the title of the flick, though, because nobody actually went undercover at any time during the story. |

I’ve seen this one before. It begins with a horny young couple about to go at it on lover’s lane when they’re rudely interrupted by a giant locust. The locusts are in southern Illinois before making their way to Chicago. The local news reports that all 150 people in the town of Ludlow mysteriously vanished (it’s up to the viewer to figure out they were eaten by locusts). That town actually exists in real life. I wonder if the locals were proud of the fact the people of their town were locust food in the film. The film is good for a few laughs, like when the locusts are shown rampaging through a model of a town that’s supposed to be Chicago. |

![]() ![]() Manhattan Tower (1932) The working day of several people inside a Manhattan commercial tower are revealed and connected to each other through various events which happen throughout the 9 to 5 daily grind. Some humor, some drama, some sex, a villain, and a surprise darkly humorous ending. |
