The second Halloween-centric movie featured in October 2022 at B-Movie Enema is the 1988 low-budget classic Hack-O-Lantern. Come for the slasher, stay for the Hy Pyke.

October 2022 was dedicated to horror movies dedicated to Halloween. What better way to kick this off with a true horror of a movie? Yup, it was Tyler Perry's Boo! A Madea Halloween.

Troma Month explodes across the pages of B-Movie Enema this month! To kick things off, let's explore the romantic comedy Tromeo and Juliet from Lloyd Kaufman and James Gunn.

1991's Steel and Lace is bonkers. It's the tale of a woman who got attacked, tried to get her attacker thrown in jail, he gets off on a technicality, and she throws herself from the top of a building. Then her brother turns her into a revenge robot.

Did you know Chuck Norris made a horror film in the early 80s? Yeah, and it's pretty good too! Silent Rage is a movie that finds Chuck in a genre he's not typically tied to and a sex scene that got his fans mad at him.

2021's Old from M. Night Shyamalan is not a good movie. It's not without some ideas but there's something that just feels missing to help connect it from a decent idea to a decent movie.

Before Spaceballs, but after Hardware Wars, Hyperspace (aka Gremloids) from 1984 served as a sci-fi comedy of "what if Star Wars came to our Earth?" Oh.. And if you know anything about British politics, you might recognize Lord Buckethead.

Andy Sidaris, master of the 80s exploitation babe action movies, actually first tried his hand at a sexy exploitation action flick with 1973's Stacey which really is a first draft of his far more successful and popular Malibu Express.

It's been long over due on B-Movie Enema to cover this gem of the early 90s. I've covered other greats of the MST3K library, but it's time to talk about the college film-turned-cheese classic The Final Sacrifice!

The final entry of Lucio Fulci's The Gates of Hell trilogy is The House by the Cemetery. It's the one that the fewest people stick up for as their favorite compared to the guts-barfing City of the Living Dead or the really moody The Beyond. Still... S'alright.

RaVager is a real pill to try to swallow, but if you take a step back and think about how all the Phantasm movies are about something other than what is actually playing out in front of your eyes, you might find an explanation for what this movie is trying to do that has exceptional potential to be moving and interesting.

I personally think OblIVion is the most interesting of the Phantasm sequels. This would have led into a different fifth entry but the final moments of this movie is surprisingly touching and beautiful using some unused footage from the original movie.

Phantasm Month continued with the next entry in the series, Lord of the Dead. This is where the series totally gets into meta concepts and the trippy twisty-turny, time travel concepts that will either win you over forever or turn you away quick.

August 2022 became Phantasm Sequel Month. The Phantasm movies are weird. It's not like the first one couldn't have a sequel but what directions the sequels took were just as odd and took big swings like the original did. Things kicked off with Phantasm II, nearly 10 years after the original's release.

This week's review at B-Movie Enema is big, it's fat, and it's Japanese. This is Big Man Japan.

Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold from 1995 is yet another parody of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, but it's not the one that Roger Corman made. No, this is Fred Olen Ray. It does make for a fun little mid-90s late night premium (Skinemax) watch.

The middle chapter of Lucio Fulci's Gates of Hell trilogy is probably the best. 1981's The Beyond has striking visuals and great atmosphere.
