Wow, people must think I know what I’m doing around here…yikes! Another “help me remember this film” email…
Anybody recognize this?
“he’s a short guy, about four foot tall, I believe he’s actually a puppet. Sort of like Chuckie, same sort of camera work, showing the legs when he walks/runs.
I think he looks similar to the Cryptkeeper but not so dead and he’s still got skin, also he’s dressed like a butler, definately a black suit of some sort.
There’s a big house (aint there always lol) a couple of guys playing teens but are actually older with the whole bad hair thing.
A black car which might be a hearse, but it could also be muscle car for all I know but it is definately black.
I remember there were scenes where the guys and the butler were wearing dark sunglasses.
It came out sometime between 1986 and 1993 (just guessing there)
No ideas on the plot, sorry. Probably something like house 2, gotta stop the bad/evil/super evil guy from winning.”
“Do you know the name of a film I saw on tv in the 70s, that featured a couple of hostile aliens found on the moon, one of which looked like a drag-strip racing timing light and the other a floating leathery sphere that ate astronauts?”
None of that rings a bell for me, but I have a feeling that if you’ve seen it you’d probably remember it based on this description.
From a Shack visitor who’s wondering about a rather intriguing movie…
“Hi, For the author or anyone else who may read this and who are experts on fantasy pre-historic films, maybe could answer my question.
When I was a kid, I remember watching a fantasy pre-historic film, I remember only one scene from it and also it had no dialogue, could be made by Italian director, under US production.
Anyways, what I remember from that scene was that the lead cavemen of the tribe, for some reason had the women lined up, all in their fur bikini outfit (maybe to chose his “wife” or who to have sex with), he then checked (peeking under the bottom part of their fur bikini) each of the women’s bottom part.
Does anyone know this film? It’s just that this scene has been stuck in my memory for so long. Movies are my passion!
I’m not expecting the answer anytime soon, but if someone or the author of this review knows the answer!”
Howdy folks,
Well, my webhotel has moved the site over to a new set of servers and redid all the databases, php settings, etc. I think I’ve fixed everything that needs to be fixed, but if anything seems “broken” please let me know and I’ll look into it. Thanks!
It features aliens, robots, gold face paint, tons of wigs, bad special effects (that should be a given by now if it’s on this site, right?), a convoluted plot, and not a few cute space chicks to boot.
Thanks again to my silent yet effective proof-reader Sean for weeding out my spelling errors! Huzzah, my friend!
By the way, I sat through 1 hour and 42 minutes of this movie…here is a 10 minute summary of it…Enjoy, dear readers, enjoy…
Just found out that my web host is upgrading all of their servers, so all the websites that they host may experience possible downtime. So never fear, if the Shack disappears for a day, it’s all under control and we’ll be back as soon as everything is sorted out at the web hotel. Cheers!
OK, I have to admit setting aside an hour every Saturday morning back when I was a wee Minneapolis lad in order to see the latest episode of “G.L.O.W.” aka: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Man, that was some fun stuff. So, anyway, I’m in a cheesy 80′s mood and I’m scrounging around YouTube for some [...]
Just wanted to post a “new” old review to give you something to chew on in July. Since I’ve been on vacation for awhile and the weather is too nice to sit inside and write about dumb movies, I’ve dug up an old review that seemed to have fallen through the cracks when I moved [...]
Mixing rednecks, caves, bad monsters, and bad scripts NEVER a good thing. Case in point: It’s Alive! (1969) This movie is not for the weak of heart, head, or stomach. By the way, sorry to start your summer out like this, but you know you love it…
I guess the site is getting more and more “popular” since I get about 50 spam posts each day. (Thanks to Askimet Plug-In, it’s all filtered out instead of offending your sensitive eyes…) Anyway, I thought I’d take a moment to share some of the wonderful praise the Monster Shack receives each and every day: [...]
We're back again with another insane Alfonso Brescia sci-fi flick that will have you scratching your head and saying "Huh?" Featuring a cast of good-hearted actors, zero budget, and a script that can't have been written by humans, see Captain Boyd and Kuba the Alien face off with the Gold Men of Anthor. Oh, and there's a nuclear reactor that's about to explode or something, and a race of enslaved bug-eyed aliens, and well, a bunch of other stuff that doesn't make any sense. Enjoy!
Watch out! It's a giant robot that rises from the ocean and tries to take over the world because, well, oh, just read it. Thanks to Sean for this great guest review.
Beware of the dreaded Tabanga! A zombie tree bent on revenge. If only it could bend over. A classic, really, really horrible sci-fi film for you to enjoy.
Better get some beer for this one. One of the more insane Italian schlock films I've ever seen. See 3 (cough) 'superheroes' battle the complete ineffective Amazon warriors. It's 90 minutes of pure madness.
What happens when a successful filmmaker gets $75 million to do a movie that began as an inspirational bedtime story to his children? The Monster Shack finds out and tackles the Lady in the Water. (Don't worry, she wasn't hurt.)
Make sure to check out Bill Rebane's forlorn attempt to cash in on the Bigfoot craze of the 70s. Featuring guys in fuzzy 'Bigfoot' suits, cheap effects, and a convoluted plot, you don't want to miss this lovely addition to the Bigfoot Terror DVD boxed set of doom!
