Chillerama Trailers

It's the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons. Four films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night! With titles like Wadzilla, I Was a Teenage Werebear, The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, and Zom-B-Movie, Chillerama not only celebrates the golden age of drive-in B horror shlock but also spans over four decades of cinema with something for every bad taste.

This flick isn't made for everybody. If you do like short flicks combined in one movie and like gore then you better pick up the V/H/S franchise. This one here is just made for the fun of it. There's nothing you can take seriously. It starts rather good as a typical fifties creature feature only the creature here is...sperm. And it grows and grows and we do have some funny situations like when it explodes a girl's mouth is full of cum, you could see that coming from miles. But from there on it's also downhill with a very gay entry, about werebears in stead of werewolves. It was directed by Tim Sullivan, so you know what you will get. The part with Hitler is sometimes funny and is the one that have a few gory scene's but done rather in a low budget style. It's only at the last segment that the drive-in, where people are watching Chillerama, that it all becomes what you were waiting for, gore and boobs. Especially when the zombies come alive and are horny as hell.It clocks in at 2 hours and it has it flows. It changes from exploitation to musical to a cheapy to gratuitous nudity. Not for everybody but I guess when you watch it with friends you will have a laugh here and there but for me it was a mediocre flick.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 1/5

Great movie this was a lot of fun! My husband and I were extras in this movie, but they seem to have lost our names! Was looking forward to seeing my name up there in the credits. This was our first time being extras, and still exciting even though we are just a blip in the movie. Check out my Facebook page and you can see me in my full zombie makeup! My Husband (Charles Bledsoe) was in line in the concession stand scene, playing with his cell phone, While I was wandering around trying to hump things to death, great time had by all! This movie classic B-movie style, raunchy and loaded with gore. I can't wait until my copy arrives! Time for viewing party and lots of butter popcorn (Hold the blue ooze!).

It's the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman (Richard Riehle) has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons.I had moderately high hopes for this film, and for the most part they were met. "Wadzilla" was better than I expected, and "Diary of Anne Frankenstein" far exceeded my hopes... it was, without a doubt the highlight of the film (the fake German was hilarious, Joel Moore plays a great Hitler, and Kane Hodder as a golem? Perfection). I also enjoyed "Deathification".The problem comes with "I Was a Teenage Werebear". This is the segment I had the most hope for, and it was just boring. It slowed down the pace of the movie and made the overall film seem much too long. I appreciate the concept and the throwback to 60s beach films, but I think they blew it. I just did not find it very well developed.I still recommend this one to all horror fans. If nothing else, watch the "Anne Frank" segment. Just downright hilarious. And see how many references to classic films you catch (some horror, some not). It is no secret that Joe Lynch and Adam Green are passionate about horror, and this film proves it.

Cecil B. Kaufman (a solid and likable portrayal by Richard Riehle) shows a marathon of schlocky horror flicks to celebrate the closing night of his drive-in movie theater. First, most outrageous, and hence hilarious segment, "Wadzilla" - A savage giant sperm goes a destructive rampage. Writer/director Adam Rifkin milks the gloriously ridiculous premise for all its worth and cheerfully parodies 50's gigantic creature feature fare with infectiously naughty aplomb. Single most sidesplitting moment: The giant sperm attempts to mate with the Statue of Liberty. Second and equally funny yarn, "I Was a Teenage Werebear" - A frustrated young man turns into a raving gay were-bear after he gets bitten in the rear by a leatherboy. Writer/director Tim Sullivan has a field day tackling the dread scourge taboo subject of homosexuality with tremendous zany glee while making an earnest plea for gay acceptance and tossing in a bunch of uproariously awful songs for good measure. Third and most kitschy tale, "The Diary of Anne Frankenstein" - Adolf Hitler (delightfully essayed with eye-rolling hammy panache by Joel David Moore) builds himself a vicious killing machine (Kane Hodder in cute goofy make-up) that brings about his own untimely demise. Shot in scratchy black and white and done in German with priceless ludicrous subtitles, writer/director Adam Green delivers loads of campy laughs from the enjoyably loopy story. Third and most over-the-top gory outing, "Zombie B-Movie" - A bunch of gross perverted zombies wreak hysterically obscene havoc at the drive-in. Writer/director Joe Lynch really pours on the excessive splatter by the bloody bucket and pulls out all the stops with the no-holds-barred grisly mayhem. The cast attack the kooky material with considerable zest, with especially stand-out work from Kristina Klebe as a sexy Eva Braun, Lin Shaye as a wise old gypsy woman, Ray Wise as mad scientist Dr. Weems, and Eric Roberts as a gung-ho Army general. Moreover, the humor is every bit as blithely crass, shameless, and offensive as it ought to be, plus there's a ton of affectionate homages to such films as "The Blob," "Cool Hand Luke," the '83 "Scarface," and even "Heathers." A total blast.
