Shadows Run Black (1984)


Primarily known for starring a young Kevin Costner (The Untouchables and No Way Out would be just three years later), this poorly made slasher has a few other elements that may make it worth a look...

Evil Come Evil Go (1972)


A religious nutjob lures men to her bedroom where they must pay for their sins.  Would you believe John Holmes was the special effects guy for this film?

Cinderella (1977)


An erotic disco fairytale featuring Cheryl Smith as Cinderella and Sy Richardson as the Fairy Godmother.  To say this was odd would be an understatement.

Sorceress (1995)


Linda Blair and Julie Strain star in this film about witchcraft and love triangles. 


Destroyer (1988)


Starring Anthony Perkins, Lyle Alzado and the girl from Valley Girl - how can we resist?


The Flesh and Blood Show (1972)


Made well before Black Christmas and Halloween, The Flesh and Blood Show contains many conventions that would become part of the slasher film template. Featuring Robin Askwith, lots of British boobs and a special 3-D ending.


Morgana (1995)

Naked Massacre (1976)


One of the bleakest movies I've ever witnessed. Of all the films we've dredged from the cinema sewer, I can honestly say that none have left me more depressed.  It's loosely based on the 1966 Richard Speck murders, and will have you feeling morose for days afterward.  Let's have a look at this dark and nihilistic film from Germany guaranteed to kill your good mood...

Class of Nuke 'Em High III (1994)



Class of Nuke 'Em High Part 3: The Good, the Bad and the Subhumanoid (1994). We've taken a look at Part 1 and Part 2  - now, let's round out the trilogy with part 3.

Cool It, Carol! (1970)


Robin Askwith and Janet Lynn leave their small town to "make it" in the big city.  Spoiler alert - things don't go according to plan.  The movie poster above makes it look like a sleazy sexploitation flick, and thereby doesn't come close to truly representing this film.  Let's take a look.

L'amour de femme (1969)


We follow two lesbian stories in swingin' Southern California where we find drugs, Beatles posters, vintage Orange Julius, Hollywood Boulevard whores, and interior decor of the grooviest variety.

Eaten Alive: A Tasteful Revenge (1999)


We've covered a lot of low budget junk on VZ1, and this may actually be the lowest.  Even though this is a direct to video grade Z production, the "plot" sounds odd and interesting enough: a girl gets fed up at work, so starts zapping coworkers with a shrink-ray, then gobbling them up!  Hey, it's at least worth a quick look.

Swift Justice (1987)


Swift Justice (AKA Hateman) is a standard VHS action movie featuring Jon Greene as a hermit Rambo, Porky from Porky's, and Cameron Mitchell phoning it in.

Carry On Up the Jungle (1970)


Carry On films are therapeutic for me - chicken soup for the funny bone.  They feature the same cast, the same brand of cheeky British humor, and are just a reliable source of silly fun.  They never get as risque as the Confessions films, and even Benny Hill could be more naughty.  If you enjoy shows like On the Buses and Are You Being Served?, then this is just what the doctor ordered.


Touch of Death (1988)


From, Lucio Fulci, the man behind House by the Cemetery, The Beyond, City of the Living Dead, and The New York Ripper, comes this oddball Italian horror-comedy in the vein of Microwave Massacre.

Penthouse Playgirls (1972)



Die Mädchenhändler (original title) written and directed by Erwin C. Dietrich (as Manfred Gregor). It's a Swiss look at white slavery - in both a comedic and violent perspective.... which is downright odd.  Let's have a look.

The Sin of Adam and Eve (1969)



The Sin of Adam and Eve (1969) - Original Title: El pecado de Adán y Eva

Miguel Zacarías, who had been directing and producing in Mexico since the 1930's, released this religious tale to great success - no doubt due to the amount of skin this Biblical story provided.  It's a curious oddity of appearing both devoutly religious and at the same time delivering the T&A.  A strange juxtaposition that deserves a look...

The Erotic Misadventures of the Invisible Man (2003)


The invisible man trope seems perfectly suited for erotic cinema, full of naughty possibilities.  So far, we haven't seen on VZ1 one that lives up to its potential, with School Spirit and Henry's Night In.  Let's see if this late-night-cable entry can finally deliver the goods.

Bad Biology (2008)

Slaughter Studios (2002)


Slaughter Studios was the last film shot at Roger Corman's studios in Venice Beach, California, and it was initially supposed to be a remake of Slumber Party Massacre. We haven't covered a movie from the 2000's yet on VZ1, but this seems a worthy place to start.

Sex, Lies and Politics (1997)

Fly Me (1973)


When the IMDb synopsis is simply "stewardesses battle kung fu killers", you know we have to check it out.

Career Bed (1968)


The debut film for Joel M. Reed, the guy who would be infamous for Bloodsucking Freaks comes this ultra low budget pseudo-documentary.  

Vice Squad (1982)



Featuring a psychotic cowboy pimp, Rerun from What's Happening, Nina Blackwood from MTV, and a performance from Season Hubley that rocked my world.  If you're expecting a run-of-the-mill cop drama, think again.

Breaking Point (1975)


From the guy behind Thriller: A Cruel Picture - a favorite of Quentin Tarantino and legions of cult film fans - comes this oddball of a picture about an office nerd who lives a double life.


The Cut-Throats (1969)


A campy World War II flick featuring mime sex, Nazi toe sucking, and Uschi Digard.
