Creedence & The Troblins

A blog about nothing in particular, but mostly horror flicks.

Schoolgirl Hitchhikers (France, 1973) Okay. This movie is pretty lame. It barely crosses the line to the good kind of bad. Still it’s got a few funny moments in it and since it’s a sexploitation flick there are a few softcore scenes, which are intended come across as disturbing… which they don't. But oh my god! The soundtrack by Pierre Raph is incredibly awesome! And the best thing about it: It was only recently (2010) re-released and is even availiable on itunes and other online-stores. So if the music in the trailer intrigues you in any way, you might want to look up the soundtrack for “Jeunes filles impudiques”, which is the original title of Schoolgirl Hitchhikers.

Evil Aliens (UK, 2006) Horror B-flicks are a very special category of movies. Most of them are campy, cheap and stupid. But how can they be enjoyable, if they basically are crap caught on film? Self awareness. And Evil Aliens is self aware. It doesn’t pretend or try to be a “good movie”. It doesn’t pretend to have well developed characters or a flawless story. It knows, that it’s a campy b-movie and it makes the best of it. It’s crazy, campy as hell and it shoots fake blood out of every pore. It’s fun watch and in the end, that’s what it’s all about.

Meatball Machine (Japan, 2005)

When it comes to blood and gore in horror movies, there's no doubt, that Japan takes the cake. From an european/american viewpoint, they also win the award for weirdness. This movie is the perfect example. Basically it's Alien meets Power Rangers meets a few hundred buckets of blood. Japanese seem to love these kind of movies, and the rest of the world loves them for it.

The special effects and makeup artist for Meatball Machine, Yoshihiro Nishimura, also known as Japan's Tom Savini, also did the makeup for The Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police, latter he also directed.

Here’s a short look at my perspective on “so bad, it’s good” movies.

Class of 1984 (Canada, 1982)

This movie truly is a classic. If you like cheesy overacting, characters that are stereotypical as hell and, well basically a movie that's as 80's as can be, this is the movie for you! Along side all other movies from the 80's that is.

Oh, and like every movie from the 80's, it's got a kickass soundtrack, featuring Alice Cooper and Teenage Head amongst others. Oh yeah, and it's got Michael J. Fox in one of his early roles, so that's cool I guess.

Strays (1991)

Most people will agree, that the majority of horror-flicks is pretty fucking stupid. Some were intentionally made to be stupid and silly, most were not. This one goes on the second pile.

Granted, it's a TV-movie and the trailer does a pretty good job, at hiding how silly this thing really is... But once you've seen fake cat-paws on sticks, trying to "scratch" through a pillow, you'll literally roll over the floor laughing your ass off. If you are anything like me, that is. Sadly this gem wasn't worth putting out on DVD, but there's plenty of used VHS-tapes out there.
