Devil Times Five

Ah, title multiplication. Devil Times Five, aka Peopletoys aka The Horrible House on the Hill. There’s a positive correlation between number of titles and terribleness.

“Not since Village of the Damned has death become so savage…”

Um.

Devil Times Five is a killer kid movie, but not just any killer kid movie. It’s also a home invasion movie, with weird soft-core exploitative elements. This is one downright odd film, full of plot holes as a result of being the work of multiple directors (see, multiple titles for another indicator of crapiness).

As a bonus: teen idol Leif Garrett and Sorrell Booke (Boss Hogg from Dukes of Hazzard).

Please watch this odd duck, and join us for our discussion!

 

 

 

Snowbeast

snowbeastposterFor some, the phrase “made-for-TV movie” is synonymous with crap. Those people are what we might call…”correct.” However, much like a basketball whipped overhand from half-court, there is the occasional one that connects and scores. Snowbeast, is not one of those. Duel is one of those.

However, we are talking Snowbeast, an abominable Yeti creature feature featuring none other than the hulking Bo Svenson (not playing the creature).

This 1977 production has a pretty game cast, but also some really odd romantic sub-plotting that our listeners will definitely get a kick out of.

The plot couldn’t be any more simple: a monster is attacking skiers in a Colorado resort town. And it’s up to the resourceful townsfolk to, uh, cover it up…and then do something about it when it gets to the point where they finally do a cost / benefit analysis and realize dozens of deaths aren’t good for local tourism.

It’s Jaws, on the slopes. Join us!

 

 

Really Awful Movies: Ep 155 – Stone Cold

stone-cold-posterStone Cold is a 1991 action movie about a biker gang, The Brotherhood, who are going after legal officials.

The brazen murder of a judge, sends the FBI into action. And that sent us into action. We love our action flicks, we love fights, we love explosions. The Really Awful Movies Podcast is all about that!

Brian Bosworth is Joe Huff (a great action movie name if there ever was one), a tough Southern cop, on suspension for beating the snot out of dirtniks in a convenience store.

He’s summoned by a wimpy agent, who along with colleagues, blackmail Huff into taking part in a dangerous mission: becoming a member of The Brotherhood, in order to infiltrate the gang.

The gang’s got deep ties to the mafia, and is led by the charismatic Chains (Lance Henriksen).

Meanwhile, Huff adopts a new ID: John Stone.

Will he be able to go from prospect to biker, and take down the outlaws? Or will his terrible fashion sense get in the way? CHECK OUT, STONE COLD.
