Looking for B/C Movies

Straight-to-video and Indie horror flicks have become a recent obsession of mine. I don't know what it is about them, but I usually end up really enjoying every one of them I see... so I ask you, what are some good STV horror movies that fit my interests?

LIKES; traditional effects, left up to your imagination monsters, gore-fests, well-used budgets, cinematography, and unknown actors.

HATES; porn trying to pass off as horror, bad editing (ie - ANYTHING Sami Miami), high school student flicks, and read-and-say-acting.

I enjoyed... The Toybox, Heartstopper, Dead & Breakfast, Head Space, and Boy Eats Girl.

I hated... Fear of Clowns, and Dark Field.

Heck...go back to the eighties. Always dependable era for straight to video horror. Neon Maniacs would be a great start. It may have been briefly released in some areas, but basically it's a videotape and cable TV movie. Doesn't exactly fit your likes/dislikes list but I have always found this to be a charming piece of trash nonsense.

Give Satan's Little Helper a go. I didn't expect much when I rented it, but was pleasantly surprised.

Also try The Dead Hate the Living. Tiny from House of 1000 Corpses/The Devil's Rejects is in it, but he's the only recognizable face. I don't remember how I stumbled on this little gem, but I'm glad I did.

stink of flesh was ok... it kinda turned into a kinky sex-fest with some nasty chick instead of a zombie movie though, action died off almost completely. But the action that was there, i will admit it was very well done. plus the terrible ending also hurt it quite a bit.
The director definelty has potential to make a very good film.

UKM (Ultimate Kill Machine) was not bad for what it was.

Rest Stop though you could drive a truck through the plot holes was entertaining
