Evil Dead Meets Andy Milligan
16 December 2022
A priest and a cursed actor must stop the devil from invading the world. Upon watching this for the first time, my initial thoughts were that this was Evil Dead if directed by New York filmmaker Andy Milligan. And that is no knock, as I enjoy Milligan's films.

Much like Milligan's films, this is a very dialogue heavy film. Due to budget limitations, heavy monster make-up or intricate effects had to be limited.

But what the director was able to achieve came out very effective. The most infamous scene being that of a monster hand coming out of a bible. While there are flaws, the film keeps you invested and wanted to see how the heroes defeat the devil.

Coupled with zombies, gore and laughs, this is sure to please any connoisuer of indy cinema.

Gunblast (1986 Video)

Nick's Best Action film
4 November 2022
The plot focuses on Marland Proctor's Winchester; an ex cop hired by the mafia to find a maniac with a Mac 10 who keeps stealing their money. In an unconnected subplot, a young man learns how to cheat at craps.

This is one of Nick's best looking SOV film, as well as his best action film. The main issue is how random the plot is and how everything feels unconnected. There is a scene in which a stripper talks at someone with no sound at all, and it turns out our Mac 10 maniac was watching her! But with no cross cutting to him.

The sound is also bad and makes dialogue hard to hear. But for Millard afficianados, it's a must see.

Fun Characters, Shoddy Execution
28 May 2022
I found this film at an Indoor Flea Market and it appears that it was never released. The plot focus' on a sheriff who moves his family to the mountains to get his kids away from the gangs and bad influences of LA. But as it so happens, a meteor has landed in the rural town and it has started turning the locals into zombies. This film is rife with problems, the biggest being it's plot, which is inconsistant as there is no real reason for the zombies to be alien made. The FX are lousy, with the guns being made of rubber, the blood leaving no bite marks or gouges, and the make up being standard. The quality of the film differs also from shot to shot, going from 35 mm to video to stock footage in a single cut. It could have been something interesting, if only more thought was put into it.

Cemetery Sisters (1987 Video)
3/10
2 sisters marry and then kill men to get their money .
22 August 2013
This is standard Nick Millard. Shot on video and released in 1988, the movie follows two sisters who marry men for their money, kill them and them collect the inheritance.

Every thing you expect from a Nick Millard movie is here, bad acting, bad direction, bad photography(or in this case videography), stock footage from his other films and bad special effects.

Although this film is bad it seems as if he took more time to make it. It's made much better then some of his other shot on video movies,it's lit better and the two main actresses can actually act. So check it out if you are interested, but be warned, it can be dull at some points.

Dinosaur Chronicles (2004 Video)
4/10
Cheesy Fun
12 December 2011
If you like the original Land of the Lost T.V. show, then you'll like this. It starts with 3 friends going on a vacation, getting caught in a time warp and winding up on a prehistoric island.There they must battle against prehistoric beasts to survive.

Like most of the Polonia Brother's films, this is a cheap shot on video movie. The acting, effects, and script are all goofy, but that isn't a bad thing. The movie doesn't try to be anything other than a campy science fiction movie, and that's what it wound up being.

Also part 2 is just as good, this time I think it's shot on film rather then video. The effects haven't changed and neither has the acting, but the locations and photography are good. They get a C+ for trying.

Dinosaur from the Deep (1993 Video)

Oh Dear Lord!
4 June 2011
Me being a cinema fanatic, I've seen a lot of movies and many of them cheap and goofy. Now when it comes to cheap dinosaur movies some may argue that The Mighty Gorgo is the worst, or Mark Polonia's Saurians, but at least those tried. Now I'm not saying N.G. Moutier didn't try when he made this movie but my God this movie is bad. The movie is in French so I can't give a good plot synopsis, but no worry someone else already did. This film has horrendous special effects and scenes that go on for to long. It's a poor movie to see, with no redeeming factors. So stay away, maybe watch Moutier's other movie Mad Mutilator, which is a step up from this one.

Ninjas and Cuneyt Arkin, what could be better.
2 October 2010
Cetin Inanc and Cuneyt Arkin are back again in this action film from the golden age of Yesilcam. Arkin plays a police officer who is a master at karate. But when a series of murders are committed by a mysterious ninja its up to Arkin to end his reign of terror.With the help of his partners and his karate skill, Arkin will put the hurt on any self respecting ninja. Cetin Inanc's style and charisma are shown in this fury of action and suspense that will leave you jumping for joy, featuring great performances from Arkin, Huseyn Peyda and the Turkish Bruce Lee himself;Nejat Yigit.All mixed with action, suspense and a heart pounding soundtrack, this movie is sure to please.

Kaplanlar (1985)

Kaplanlar 1985

For all those who have seen Cuneyt Arkin and Cetin Inanc's films you aren't missing much. Arkin plays a tough guy out to stop a group of killers headed by Huseyn Peyda.He kills random people and it's up to Arkin to stop them. Thats pretty much the movie as a whole. But that does'not take away from entertainment value. Plenty of action and thrills for all those hardcore Arkin and Inanc fans.

This movie is recommendable for some of the worst miniature effects ever in a film. So if you like films like this , check it out. It's a good movie to watch if you want to waste some time of a Saturday night. But if not, then stay away.
