Odd Fish (2024) 4/5 EDIT “A fantastic character study with stellar cast. ” – sbs.is Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Shadowzone (1989) 3/5 EDIT “Although it does have issues with filling it’s 70-minute running time, the film is worth the watch for two reasons: actors and practical effects.” – sbs.is Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Deep Shock (2003) 0.5/5 EDIT “I think it's The Abyss but the film is so boring and dumb I'm not sure. ” – sbs.is Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Prometheus (2012) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Yeah, I love the film. It’s a big budget version of a stupid 80s alien-rip-off. That’s how I view it. It’s not canon, obviously. It’s a rip-off film like Galaxy of Terror but made by an immensely talented filmmaker (not storyteller). ” – sbs.is Aug 23, 2025 Full Review Leprechaun: The Beginning (2025) 0.5/5 EDIT “If you read this review, I would bet you’ve done more work than most of the people behind this film.” – sbs.is Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Rats (2003) 2/5 EDIT “Maybe because it’s filled with a bunch of monotonous acting that lulls you into a false sense of safety and then BAMM: a flying toaster rat.” – sbs.is Aug 8, 2025 Full Review The Rats (2001) 3/5 EDIT “If I am crazy for liking a film where rats attack children in a swimming pool, well, then call me crazy.” – sbs.is Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Crocodile (2000) 3/5 EDIT “The sheriff and the general nostalgic vibe I get from these films are enough to keep me entertained. ” – sbs.is Aug 2, 2025 Full Review Python (2000) 3.5/5 EDIT “Is it good? It’s a low budget TV flick from 2000 called Python. It doesn’t matter if it’s good. What matters is if its entertaining and of course it is. It’s a low budget TV flick from 2000 called Python, how could it not be?” – sbs.is Jul 9, 2025 Full Review Highlander: The Source (2007) 1/5 EDIT “There should have been only one... but they made five.” – sbs.is Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Forbidden World (1982) 57% 3/5 EDIT “The film looks good, not just for a budget film but just in general. That’s of course a lot due to Cameron’s work on Galaxy of Terror but the new sets, practical effects and props look good, too. ” – sbs.is Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Dracula 3000 (2004) 1.5/5 EDIT “Dracula 3000 was shot for TV and does have a cheap charm to it, but it never really manages to become an entertaining romp. ” – sbs.is Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Galaxy of Terror (1981) 36% 3.5/5 EDIT “If you are going to watch one Alien homage, then I would recommend Galaxy of Terror. ” – sbs.is Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Freddy's Fridays (2023) 0.5/5 EDIT “ The only good thing about it is the fact it’s only 75 minutes long. To make up for the laughable running time, it has the slowest scroll of end credits that I’ve ever seen. Especially since there were like 20 people involved in making it.” – sbs.is Nov 11, 2023 Full Review Bacterium (2006) 1/5 EDIT “Low budget shot-on-video flick that delivers science nonsense and some okay grotesque practical effects mixed with Windows Movie Maker editing. ” – sbs.is Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Frankenstein Unbound (1990) 53% 3/5 EDIT “It’s a very interesting blend of being the most faithful adaptation of Frankenstein, and the most batshit insane one.” – sbs.is Oct 14, 2023 Full Review A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell (1990) 0.5/5 EDIT “I despise when rape is used in films like these to add some kind of danger or character development, and since our protagonist is a beautiful woman, the dinosaur scenes are just filler between those rape or attempted-rape scenes.” – sbs.is Oct 7, 2023 Full Review The Nun (2005) 2.5/5 EDIT “The Nun creature is actually quite scary. Perhaps Hollywood could take her white face, with black lips, black eyeshadow all around the yellow eyes and Conjure something up.” – sbs.is Sep 30, 2023 Full Review No Filter (2023) 1.5/5 EDIT “I can’t really explain the film’s plot because I’ve no idea what was going on and I’m not sure there is a plot here other than the basic premise that social media destroys your soul, or something. ” – sbs.is Sep 29, 2023 Full Review Slotherhouse (2023) 64% 2.5/5 EDIT “The problems movies like this have is that they are really just one joke and it’s hard to make one joke sustain 90 minutes of film. Slotherhouse manages to do it, mostly. ” – sbs.is Sep 24, 2023 Full Review Mad at the Moon (1992) 1/5 EDIT “What I hate more is that the talented Masterson ended up starring in a melodrama that makes Sidney Sheldon’s stuff look like high art. Most episodes of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman were more cinematic than this.” – sbs.is Sep 24, 2023 Full Review Hatched (2021) 0.5/5 EDIT “I can’t fault the actors. They could be replaced by cardboard cutouts, and the carboard cutouts would probably look better than the CGI models the producers bought on sale on a shady website.” – sbs.is Sep 24, 2023 Full Review Planet Raptor (2007) 1/5 EDIT “The raptors are a fascinating mixture of some of the wonkiest CGI you’ll ever see and practical puppets that look like they are straight from a 70s Toho production or the 90s Carnosaur films. ” – sbs.is Sep 23, 2023 Full Review Raptor Island (2004) 1/5 EDIT “The Seal team finds a crashed plane that has nuclear waste on it. The nuclear waste caused the local animals to mutate into dinosaurs. I don’t expect my SyFy films to be realistic, but some things are just too stupid to be enjoyable.” – sbs.is Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Octopus 2: River of Fear (2002) 1.5/5 EDIT “Burke is a detective who realizes that the killer running amok is a giant octopus, nobody believes him, of course, except his partner. It’s not like New York is a city that never sleeps and people would notice a giant octopus grabbing people.” – sbs.is Sep 22, 2023 Full Review
