(Filmed for Cultflicks.net’s Forbidden Zone intro remake.)

Don’t pay too much attention to the Lush medley… rather, observe the amazing design features of the site.

English has words like “fantastic”, “great”, “poor”, “awful” etc. Now these are all fine and good, but there is still not enough of a set subtly that would be widely understood. So this is our new scale. Number one is perfect and number 10 is as bad as something could possibly be.

  1. Seven Samurai (simply perfect)
  2. Pulp Fiction (game changing, brilliant)
  3. The Last Crusade (really good, entertaining, feel-good)
  4. Rocky (Good, will see anytime I’m sick)
  5. Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure (pretty fair, like it, not really good, but you can’t not like it)
  6. Office Space (you want to like it, but you can’t, a lot of people say it’s good, but you know it’s really not)
  7. Anaconda (good-bad, but you still like it because it’s bad)
  8. The Transporter (Simply terrible. There is no way you would watch this again sober)
  9. Plan 9 from Outer Space (So bad that it’s almost good again, but you know that it’s not)
  10. Manos hands of fate (Nothing could be worse without involving testicles and razor blades)

Now this may look like it would be difficult to work into conversation, but it really works quite well after you’ve gotten it down. You can actually FEEL the difference between the films. For example:

“How’re you feeling man?”

“Well I just ate a burrito from that Transporter looking place down the road, and it was totally much more Rocky than the Office Space I was expecting – taste wise that is… because now my stomach is feeling a little Anaconda-ish”

“Dude… you should of had some of my Pulp Fiction Publix sub!”

Easy right?

What it is at the moment is a review site for cult films, b-movies, old, terrible horror and science fiction films and nice long lists of things like the “worst movies ever” and “worst video game movies.” But wait! There’s more! We are going to be streaming a bunch of these cult movies as well. Yes my friends, we have gotten hold of a mass of old, weird horror, sci-fi and fantacy films from the 50,60s and even the 70′s and are going to be streaming them on the site the second they’re all reviewed – and it’s FREE!. Anyway, the ultimate goal is to build it up a little more on the content side, and then begin charging a nominal fee for the content that we will have to licence – but that’ll probably take some time. So, if you’re interested in writing a review on some of these terrible gems, you can download them of cultflicks.net, or just give me a call.
