British B-movie rubbish

[Britannia-Rules?]

Just finished a review for Rawhead Rex (1986) an Irish set creature feature. You can see the review here;

Any other British b-movies I should keep an eye out for?

[Skull]

Killer's Moon (1978) and Alien Prey (1978)

[Britannia-Rules?]

Alien Prey rings a few bells, think I'll check it out.

Cheers

PSYCHOMANIA (1971), about an undead Satan-worshiping motorcycle gang, is worth a look. 

XTRO (1983) is pretty crazy as well: here's a reader review from D-Man.  (I'll spare you my review  ).

In general the Brits have let us down a bit in B-movies.  They're much better at comedies.

I'll second Psychomania. I saw that film when I was a small lad, and it stuck with me so much, yet couldn't remember the name, that I tried to find out what that movie was, which led me to this site and caused me to become a member.

I don't know if fans of Hammer Films would agree with you about Brit horror movies, Rev. I love 'em.

The Beast must Die

it has a 'werewolf break' so you can try to figure out who is the werewolf.

hmm yeah that really caught on

I consider Hammer films to be a bit classier than B-movies; it's just a matter of definition.  I also though about genre films by directors like Nic Roeg, but again, they're a bit classier than "B" to me.

Hmm. Point taken

More movies need a werewolf break so you can guess who the werewolf is. 

Even if the movie itself hasn't had a werewolf up until that point. 

No.  Check that.  ESPECIALLY if the movie hasn't had a werewolf up until that point.

Try Horror Hospital. Michael Gough creates an army of zombie hippies and uses a beheading motorbike to slay those who try to escape.

[Britannia-Rules?]

... How the hell would you ever get funding for that! You'd have to be drunk to even pitch that idea to the execs!

Crazy!

[Skull]

I own Horror Hospital... :)



I think Lesbian Vampire Killers is much better horror/comedy then Shaun of the Dead... Although I do like Shaun of the Dead, the story itself seemed more of a parody of zombie movies in general and at times the jokes do become tiresome.

The problem with Lesbian Vampire Killers its market very wrong, the movie was pushed as a Shaun of the Dead rip-off and many viewers seemed disappointed that the story didn't have that parody feel or took it as a bad attempt to parody vampire movies. Although most of the hate comes from the Perverts, the Feminist and the Gays. The Perverts feel a movie title like Lesbian Vampire Killers should be a soft-core porn with lots of nudity, the Feminist don't like the idea of sexy woman (typical) and the Gays (assuming they upset with the final frame of the movie).

Lesbian Vampire Killers is actually an adult movie geared for adults who want to see humor/horror without sitting thru a soft-core porno. In a silly way the movie is target towards Al Bundy [Married... with Children], fans of  "The Man Show" and those that buy into the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues.

I do wish there will be more movies like Lesbian Vampire Killers, so I have my fingers crossed!!!
