EPISODE 12: KILL THEM AND EAT THEM (2003)
March 08, 2012

On this week’s No-Budget Nightmares podcast we look at the 2003 Canadian gonzo mutant film KILL THEM AND EAT THEM. Despite my sympathetic nature, and respect for the ambition of the filmmakers, eventually the whole thing just devolves into a big pile of

EPISODE 11: REDNECK COUNTY FEVER (199?)
February 23, 2012

Why does this exist? It’s a question I asked myself over and over while I was watching REDNECK COUNTY FEVER; an oddity from (possibly) the early 90s that constantly makes you wonder how it came into being. What could have possessed a group of (presumab

EPISODE 10: ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS – FALL OF THE ORIGINAL SIX (2007)
February 09, 2012

And now for something completely different. This week’s No-Budget Nightmare was filmed between May and October 2006 in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. It was written by Sean Bruce, Dan Kildey, and SWEETBACK. It had torture, explosions, gore, a ventrilo

EPISODE 9: TERROR TOONS (2002)
January 25, 2012

On this week’s Daily Grindhouse Presents – No-Budget Nightmares, Daily Grindhouse contributors Moe and Sweetback discuss Joe Castro’s 2002 ultraviolent comedy TERROR TOONS. There’s Rage Against The Machine lyrics, misogyny, and a mean streak a mil

EPISODE 8: SO MORT IT BE (2004)
January 15, 2012

On this week’s Daily Grindhouse Presents – No-Budget Nightmares, Daily Grindhouse contributors Moe and Sweetback discuss Fabian Rush’s 2004 horror-comedy SO MORT IT BE. If you have a hankering for mutant rat worms, bodily dismemberment, TERRIBLE blu

EPISODE 7: DUCK! THE CARBINE HIGH MASSACRE (1999)
December 30, 2011

On April  20, 1999 students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 of their fellow students (as well as a teacher) at Columbine High School in Colorado before committing suicide. The incident traumatized an entire nation, and in the wake there was a f

EPISODE 6: BARELY LEGAL LESBIAN VAMPIRES (1999)
December 15, 2011

And now for something completely shitty. Part softcore vampire flick with sub-porno production and part jerk-off “tribute” to Ed Wood, BARELY LEGAL LESBIAN VAMPIRES is an insult to anyone expecting even a minimum amount of entertainment value out of

EPISODE 5: NIGHTMARE ASYLUM (1992)
November 18, 2011

If you have any interest in no-budget film-making, you really must be aware of Todd Sheets – one of the godfathers of the entire shot-on-video genre. In just 15 short years (between 1985 and 2000) Sheets directed over 30 films, almost entirely horror f

EPISODE 4: LAS VEGAS BLOODBATH (1989)
November 18, 2011

Feedback is appreciated. I apologize for my opinions on daytime whores, hot oil wrestlers, the quality of Nevada pizza, using the word “‘za”, and for swearing so much. Sorry, mom.

EPISODE 3: THE SUMMER OF THE MASSACRE (2006)
November 02, 2011

Well, this is just terrible. A bafflingly misguided “tribute” to the grimy horror films of the 70s – most notably THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE – this British shot-on-video horror film starts out awful before eventually grinding down to reprehensibl
