OK. What would happen, if Roger Corman, who directed produced and wrote all those nickel dime horror movies, like "The Terror" which was made with left over film and three days left in Boris Karloff's contract for another movie, the movie in which Jack Nicholson plays opposite his wife of the time and ad libbed many of his scenes and lines--WHAT IF--Roger Corman "married" Saturday Night Live.You get shlocky trash, you get unknown actors, you get dumb cartoon characterizations shot on the cheap for nickels and dimes--canned and sometimes original linear productions, first act second act third act straight action with a hint of sex ( and little more than a hint ).You'd get the eighties substitute for the chapter serial of the forties, an hour and a half of utter dreck with nothing more than Ed Wood appeal.But.That's the idea. What's interesting is how they put this crap together, and you get to watch.I like stuff like this. $15K worth of technology you could shoot a better movie today.Which is the point.So.Why don't you? And just sit box with a huge box of jujubees you got at RiteAid, or maybe chips unending with hot sauce you'd pay five bucks for, and kick back with an idiot movie you don't need to have a Master's in English lit to comprehend and hoot the villain.Get it?
... View MoreI got this when i went on a splatter movie buying binge in a double-pack that cost just over £1, and i still felt robbed!. When i saw it was by Troma my hopes went up a bit, for i had recently watched an episode of "Shock movie massacre" on FTN which was about troma and said they specialised in making gory half-porn trash, but this, well, there was hardly any gore at all, except for when a lizard-man got a hole shot through him with a shotgun, despite the 'nymphoid' title there was no sexual content, aside from the bad guys clumsily falling onto the main character in what i can only assume was supposed to be attempted rape (more like they couldn't see where they where going with those masks on). The 'dinosaurs' don't look like any kind of dinosaur that really existed, but i think they where actually quite well-done, considering this was 1991, when CGI was fantastically expensive. There was even some scenes where the people and monsters where on-screen at the same time..not bad!. In all, this is a bad movie that you should avoid buying, but if you can see it at a friend's house for free, then do so..just don't be afraid to use the fast forward button, there is little dialog so you wont miss "the story"
... View MoreSTAY AWAY FROM THIS FILM!!! I bought this film for a very very very cheap price in the hope that it would be funny. It is not. It is not remotely funny or even remotely watchable. It is actually torture to sit through. There is no redeeming feature about the film whatsoever. The trailer is the only good thing on the DVD but even that's in the wrong place. It plays before the films as opposed to when you select 'trailer' on the menu. There is next to no dialogue in this film, no sex and rarely any decent violence. The special effects are dismal but sometimes slightly amusing and at the same time confusing. Like is the man with the rubber face actually deformed or is it a mask? The ending is the final insult. Do not buy or watch or rent this film. Ever! Period.Get Nightmare at Noon instead. Or Omega Cop. Or Eastenders......
... View MoreI read so many terrible reviews of Brett Piper's Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell. That i was convinced that this movie would be total crap.On the contrary it is quite a good fantasy film. It wasn't always funny, but the intro Troma added was great, and the claymation creatures were really fun. I'd recommend this to both Troma fans, and films of mid eighties fantasy films like Gor.
