    Death Row Diner (B. Dennis Wood, 1988):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2021/12...wood-1988.html

    What does a 'straight project' from a guy who has made a long career for himself in pornographic movies look like? Perhaps it's some sappy drama about unrequited love, or a half-baked polemic masquerading as art, or just maybe it's a shot-on-video schlock horror comedy where a ping pong paddle is put to eye-popping use?...

    StageFright (Michele Soavi, 1987):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2022/01...7-blu-ray.html

    By 1987 the slasher movie was in rapid decline, having dominated the popular cinema of the 1980s with masked murderers slaying their way through camp grounds and holidays alike with gore-drenched abandon. However, if there's still some juice left in the squeeze, you could be sure the Italians will find it, and in this case Michele Soavi (Dellamorte Dellamore) made a name for himself by injecting a fairly standard slasher flick with an invigorating sense of energy and a love for the horror genre...

    Free Hand For A Tough Cop (Umberto Lenzi, 1976):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2022/02...rto-lenzi.html

    Umberto Lenzi was a skilled journeyman director, but he was perhaps at his happiest when toiling in the criminal underbelly during Italy's tumultuous 'Years of Lead' in the 1970s, with films such as The Tough Ones and The Cynic The Rat and The Fist. Brandishing a keen eye for sudden flashes of violence as well as a darkly dry sense of humour, Lenzi's Free Hand For A Tough Cop acts as a proto-buddy-cop flick, featuring a mismatched pair on opposing sides of the law as they attempt to track down a remorseless criminal in order to save the life of an innocent child...

    I've heard of it before - well, under the "GetEven" title (aka "gettevven" ) - but I've never seen it. A user review for "Last Man Down" said 'just because you have the resources to make a movie, doesn't mean you should', and perhaps that's kind of the case here ... ... mind you, this looks a damn sight more fun than LMD.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre (David Blue Garcia, 2022):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2022/03...avid-blue.html

    The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the most iconic horror movie franchises, with Leatherface similarly standing as one of the most legendary mountains of murderous mayhem, and yet, out of all the major slasher series, it's also the one to have suffered the most inconsistency and misfortune. If your tolerance for bullshit is at an all-time rock bottom, then a film featuring the immortal line of direlogue “Do anything and you'll get cancelled, bro” might not be the wisest of viewing choices. However, gluttons for punishment are numerous amongst the horror fan community, so fire up that rusty old buzz-saw and let's head on down to Bulgaria, er, I mean Texas...!

    King Frat (Ken Wiederhorn, 1979):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2022/04...79-review.html

    Imagine, if you will, what a film made by a 10 year old boy might look like. Most likely it'd all be about about farts, wouldn't it? Step forward King Frat, a rushed-out Animal House knock-off, the highlight of which is an actual fart contest...

    Ghoulies (Luca Bercovici, 1985):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2022/05...85-review.html

    A Lucifer-worshipping cult, laser eye battles, slimy little green monsters that look like mangled turds with teeth popping out of toilets, and gratuitous indoor use of sunglasses? It can only be Ghoulies...

    Bad Girls From Mars (Fred Olen Ray, 1990):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2022/06...-ray-1990.html

    There's a killer on the loose, slaying their way through the set of a low budget trash cinema extravaganza, and while it's a tough job trying to keep your head attached to your body, it's seemingly a tougher job keeping your clothes on...

    Ghoulies II (Albert Brand, 1987):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2022/07...87-review.html

    After the somewhat limited Ghoulies (1985), the ghastly little demonic hell spawn return, this time to wreak havoc at a full-blown carnival. Surely these devious teensy troublemakers will find something to do with all these guillotines, switchblades, and unoccupied toilet bowls lying around...

    Beach Babes From Beyond (David DeCoteau, 1993):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2022/08...-decoteau.html

    It's all be done before, hasn't it? Cops and robbers, the profession of love at an airport, the rise and fall of a criminal empire … but when was the last time you saw interstellar petrol knocked-up at a beach-side snack shack by a vegetarian wearing fashion that could best be described as coming from the 'day-glo vomitorium' collection?...

    Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go To College (John Carl Buechler, 1990):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2022/09...hler-1990.html

    Those pesky l'il demons are at it again, seeking to further their education by cranking the potty-minded hijinks up to eleven with death-by-plunger, and an ornate porcelain throne acting as a flushing portal to Hell...
