No-Budget Nightmares

On this week’s Daily Grindhouse Presents – No-Budget Nightmares, Daily Grindhouse contributors Moe and Sweetback discuss Fabian Rush’s 2004 horror-comedy SO MORT IT BE. If you have a hankering for mutant rat worms, bodily dismemberment, TERRIBLE bluescreen, and a fistful of silliness, you’ll certainly enjoy yourself. Keep listening for the recordings final twenty minutes where the hosts slowly sta...

On April  20, 1999 students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 of their fellow students (as well as a teacher) at Columbine High School in Colorado before committing suicide. The incident traumatized an entire nation, and in the wake there was a flurry of media attention, often looking to point the finger at a cause – or series of causes – for what ended up being referred to (in typical media...

And now for something completely shitty. Part softcore vampire flick with sub-porno production and part jerk-off “tribute” to Ed Wood, BARELY LEGAL LESBIAN VAMPIRES is an insult to anyone expecting even a minimum amount of entertainment value out of low-budget filmmaking. The promise of nubile young goths is thwarted by a cavalcade of dried up strippers who appear to be pushing 40, stumbling throu...

If you have any interest in no-budget film-making, you really must be aware of Todd Sheets – one of the godfathers of the entire shot-on-video genre. In just 15 short years (between 1985 and 2000) Sheets directed over 30 films, almost entirely horror films with excessive gore, grade-school play acting and a generally weak grasp of editing, shot composition and Mise en scène. Yeah, his films range...

Feedback is appreciated. I apologize for my opinions on daytime whores, hot oil wrestlers, the quality of Nevada pizza, using the word “‘za”, and for swearing so much. Sorry, mom.

Well, this is just terrible. A bafflingly misguided “tribute” to the grimy horror films of the 70s – most notably THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE – this British shot-on-video horror film starts out awful before eventually grinding down to reprehensibly boring, lost in a sea of improvised conversations and endless, style-less chase scenes. Not only does director Bryn Hammond have the writing skill of a...

HELLO! I’m writing this WELL into the future. Enjoy this CLASSIC(?) episode of No-Budget Nightmares featuring a movie that Moe and Doug both despised – and continue to! Memorable quote: “You know every relationship has it’s problems. Take my wife for example, she used to drive me up the motherf*chin wall until I knocked her into the well…I tried to save her….OH WELL”

On the evening of Feb. 20, 2001, two latino rappers committed a murderous crime spree and filmed everything they did on a digital video camera. They had a plan to rob drug dealers for their cocaine, sell it and use the money to record a hip hop album rapping about their crimes. This footage was taken directly from their hidden camera, along with other footage obtained from various surveillance cam...
