16 Awesomely Bad B-Horror-Movies I Love
I am happy to admit that B-Movies have a special place in my movie-fan heart. They are often badly titled, ridiculous and have the cheapest of special effects but with all that there is just something about them that I find irresistible!
There are tons of B-Movie sites on the web, they have developed such a cult following that B-Movies now have their own festivals and are being shown in theaters everywhere in special showings. In fact it’s almost a new style of film-making to shoot a movie too look like a B-Movie for the hope of a cult following and gaining a few good laughs. So I would think it’s safe to say that B-Movies are here to stay and continue to prove that even bad movies can be good. Here is a list of my all-time favorites. (listed below in no particular order) Also be sure to check out these great b-movie sites:
