RIP Roger Corman

[beat_truck]

He made many excellent "bad" movies. He was 98.

98 is a good age! Hope he was as fit and well as possible until then...

That's a great movie. It's got a lot of Jaws in it, but it's actually a very well done 'rip-off' with genuinely good characters and story, plus a whole bunch of T&A and gory violence - and the monsters look fantastic. That last act chaos at the town festival is just fantastic low budget filmmaking.

I saw him on a recent episode of The Last Drive-In (it was a recording from summer 2023). You could see how he was more physically frail than just a couple years prior to that, slightly slower on putting his point across, but he was still firing out the stories and bright-eyed.
