So I was browsing through some old cult films that had made their way onto YouTube and came across this little gem from 1979.  I can’t believe I made it this long without finding this film and making it a part of my collection here on Cultarama, because it truly deserves a coveted spot…

     I’d heard about this quirky little gem when searching for mockumentaries, and even though it was a bit hard to locate, it didn’t disappoint.  I always love a good backstory and this one has it in spades.  It was meant to be just a bit of Halloween fun by the BBC, but it…

  So, here’s the thing… I actually did not know that Turkey had a habit in the ’70s and ’80s of completely remaking American movies because it was cheaper than getting a print shipped over from the United States.  That’s just not something I ever thought would be that big of a problem, at least not…

  So, we come to that age-old decision, is it camp, classic, and basically does it fit into the archetype cult film status that we’ve all come to know and love.  Usually, big-budget films that were very popular and did well in the theater don’t necessarily fit under a cult classic label, but some stories actually…

  If you don’t enjoy Mae West, you might as well leave this website, because she was the ultimate Queen of Camp, at least in her later years.  This was a woman who basically saved Paramount Studios from complete bankruptcy and single-handedly brought feminism to its height of appreciation.  She didn’t need a man, but…

   I can say that I personally really love this movie.  It was SO not what I thought it was gonna be when I started watching it.  I can’t even remember where I originally heard about this film, only that I managed to find it on YouTube and thought it was wonderful.  Strange as it…

   Okay, so The Exorcist isn’t necessarily a cult film because it had a HUGE theatrical opening and pretty much everyone in the world saw it when it came out and proceeded to pass out, freak out, and then run to their nearest church to repent their sins.  It did follow the cult film strategy…

    Children of the Corn was originally a short story in Stephen King’s book Night Shift. Many movies have been based on King’s novels and short stories, some were really good but many of them completely sucked. This one I hold as an exception. It’s very well made. It has a great idea, a good…

    Yet another “video nasty” filmed in Greece that has been relatively unknown for years (at least in English), until a recent DVD release. There aren’t many gore scenes, but when you get to them, they are extremely effective and worth waiting for.        For the most part, it’s a psychological thriller dealing…

    Wow, what a great movie! This film is very well known by now and has spawned a few sequels and even a star-studded comedy remake, all of which are definitely in contrast to the general definition of a cult film. But nonetheless, this movie has without a doubt gathered a HUGE cult following and…
