In the 70s, blaxploitation was big, and, for the most part, produced pretty damn good movies across all genres. Abby was one of the horror offerings that got into a little trouble over its production and its attempt to cash in on Exorcist fever.

When it comes to Exorcist rip-offs, you  better believe the Turkish have us covered. Their 1974 near-shot-for-shot remake of The Exorcist was Seytan. You know what? I expected it to be a whole lot worse than it was.

October 2020 was Exorcist Rip-Off Month and we start with a pretty good one - 1977's Shock (aka Beyond the Door II) from Mario and Lamberto Bava.

The Working Girls is kind of an all-time classic exploitation film from Stephanie Rothman because it is recognized as a fairly key feminist movie in the era of exploitation flicks. It definitely holds up 50 years later.

2015's Jem and the Holograms is easy to knock around and make fun of. But is it that bad? Yeah. It's not very good.

Mesmerized (1985)

This week's review at B-Movie Enema goes into the past for a period piece drama starring Jodie Foster and John Lithgow - Mesmerized, based on the Pimlico Mystery of the 19th century.

Welcome to November, Enemaniacs! As I continue to crank through a backlog of movies that I have built over the course of about 13 or 14 years through buying multi-packs of cheap-o movies on DVD, this was a title I’ve been vaguely aware of for more than 30 years, mostly because of the two lead stars in this movie. This week, we’ll be diving deep into 1985’s Mesmerized starring Jodie Foster and…

The Vampires Night Orgy (1972)

Happy Halloween to all my cherished Enemaniacs! This year, the special Halloween review comes from Spain and director Leon Klimovsky, The Vampries Night Orgy.

Happy Halloween and welcome to the annual tradition of the B-Movie Enema special Halloween review! This year, the annual October theme that I always choose to celebrate not just the earliest days of B-Movie Enema but also the spooky season was 1970s Women-in-Peril films. Now, for the most part, the movies I choose each October will fit some kind of theme. Sometimes the Halloween special will…

Believe it or not, Roger Corman did not make a movie in 3D until he produced the 2012 parody Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader. Interestingly, this movie is not good, but damn if it isn't easy on the eyes.

One of the more popular teenage musicals in the late 80s turned out to be Teen Witch, a movie I didn't know much about until decades later. I know I wasn't the intended audience in 1989, but I bet I would have actually had some fond feelings of if I had seen it. But it's still a very silly movie.

Jamaa Fanaka's Penitentiary series is like Rocky but follows a wrongfully-convicted man named Martel "Too Sweet" Gordone who fights his way to respect and out of prison. This first entry in the series is particularly good.

Mutant War is the sequel to Battle for the Lost Planet we didn't know we needed from Brett Piper. It also comes complete with none other than Mr. Cameron Mitchell!

The Wizard of Gore (1970)

For the first time ever, Herschell Gordon Lewis comes to B-Movie Enema as I review his crowning achievement in horror - The Wizard of Gore.

Welcome to a new review here at B-Movie Enema. A guy I hadn’t yet covered at all to this point is Herschell Gordon Lewis. That’s a little bit of a surprise, isn’t it? This is B-Movie Enema. I’ve covered everything from Batman and Robin to a number of Russ Meyer films to freakin’ Bloodsucking Freaks. It would seem as though Herschell Gordon Lewis, the Godfather of Gore, would have shown up here…

Oh hell yeah... Let's take another look at one from the blog's all time favorite director, Mr. Norman J. Warren! 1976's Satan's Slave was Warren's official turn toward almost exclusively (except for a couple exceptions) making horror films and it's a good one.

Don't Answer the Phone is the kind of movie that isn't a fun watch. It's gross. It's skeevy. It paints the idea of understanding why someone is committing crimes as not useful in police work so our cop hero can just scratch his itchy trigger finger. I did not enjoy this one.

Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory does something B-Movie Enema doesn't do too often... return to the late 50s/early 60s era of black-and-wife monster movies. This one comes from Germany and it's also something else I didn't do too often either... talk about werewolves.

As if it's the All-Star Game of 80s babe movies, we have Vice Academy starring Linnea Quigley and Ginger Lynn. Oh! And it's from the director of Hobgoblins. How can you go wrong?
