I really like Laserblast. Mindless goofy escapism for sure but I wouldn't consider it a "bad" movie. I miss all the teenagers/kids vs the world themed sci-fi and horror flicks from the late 70s and 80s... they were all about rebellion and being heard. All the disney styled rubbish they aim at kids these days is just a visual induced lobotomy enforcing conformity. Worth a look once you thrashed the classics in this style like Hooper's Invaders From Mars and are after something fresh.

Snuff deserves a WAY lower rating. Painfully shit but worth a look for the ending and if you can pick it up on VHS it has some dope artwork. Easily one of the worst the exploitation/horror genre has to offer. Gotta hand it the makers however because they pulled of the greatest scam and made a ton of money of this and will more than likely continue doing so for many years to come. Text book example of audience exploitation :p

The Incredible Melting Man is essential viewing if only for Rick Baker's effects. Been meaning to watch this again but my copy is so beat up that it's just a pain in the ass to sit through.

The Beast In Heat is one of the better nazi flicks. Not quite Ilsa but nowhere near as dull 90% of the subgenre. I liked the SS Hell Camp title better because the "Beast" comes as more of a surprise making the movie just that little bit more out there... well the cover art will no doubt give that away anyways. I first saw it on a bootleg tape and was like "What the fuck this up with this flick?"
