A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

Comments

A champion of Ozploitation, but not as exploitationy as a lot of films. Sure, we get some boobies, headplosions & a not-quite-a-werewolf called Alf. Not as many as in full-on video nasties of the era. Brought to us by Brian Trenchard-Smith, of The Man From Hong Kong, BMX Bandits and Leprechaun 3 fame.

We do get a message about resisting fascism, but mainly we get a brutal prison film in the first half, and a brutal human trophy hunt in the second. Will the cartoon rich villains get their comeuppance???

Screenshots

For some reason, Piefed won't let me upload images ATM. But there are plenty (plus review & spoilers) at https://thebloodypitofhorror.blogspot.com/2018/06/turkey-shoot-1982.html
