I have an interest in opensource software, weird/bad movies and alternative music.

A fun B-movie from the director of Amsterdamned and Down/The Shaft.
Prey (2016)
ON THE LOOSE... AND HE'S HUNGRY
A zoo veterinarian gets caught up in a grisly adventure as she finds herself leading the city-wide hunt for a monstrous lion terrorizing the Dutch capital of Amsterdam.
A really solid post-apocalyptic survival movie produced by the king of B-movies, Roger Corman. The Terror Within was heavily inspired by Ridley Scott's Alien.
The Terror Within (1989)
IT WANTS TO GET OUT!
Experiments in biological warfare have destroyed all but a few remnants of the human race.

A solid B-noir set at a carnival. Girl on the Run happens to be the first big-screen appearance of Steve McQueen (in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role).

Yeah, I was the one who told you in that dm. ;) It worked that first instance, but not this time..
Not sure what's going on with Lemmy / my main instance atm, but my posts don't show up. So I'm posting with my alt account..

Posting through my alt account, cause posts from my main account don't show up somehow..
There's some inspiration here, but I wouldn't go as far as to call this a Bruce Lee ripoff film. Shaw Brothers were already doing Kung Fu movies before Lee's rise to popularity after all..

I'm glad you've been enjoying these movies! Thank you for the nice words. :)
This should be a good palate cleanser. 🦈🐙
Sure, I could've waited a few days and posted this on 4/20, but there isn't anything 🍁-related to the movie except for the title. It's a fun one though. Think of it as Roger Corman's wacky (and somewhat horny) response to Gremlins.
Can be watched on Tubi.
Munchies (1987)
...JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO RAID THE FRIDGE!
Simon Watterman, a space archaeologist, discovers the "Munchies" in a cave in Peru. Cecil Watterman, Simon's evil twin brother and snack food entrepreneur, kidnaps the creature. What Cecil does not know is that a Munchie, when chopped up, regenerates into many new ones, and these a lot more mean!
Yeah, I've heard that Don is a super chill dude who really appreciates his fans. :)
Fixed (give it a bit of time to federate). Thanks for notifying me. :)
A fun b-movie with a lot of heart, and a great Bruce Campbell performance.

An aging Elvis Presley and an African-American "JFK" stay in a nursing home where nothing much happens - that is, until a wayward Egyptian mummy comes and sucks out the old people's souls thru their a-holes. The two decide to fight back.
A schlocky alien-invasion sex comedy. It's cheesy AF and gives off major Fred Olen Ray vibes. He didn't direct the movie, however, but he has a (small) role.
Vampire Vixens from Venus (1995)
WOMEN, CAN'T LIVE WITH EM'... CAN'T BE SURE THEY'RE NOT ALIEN MENACES!
Three aliens land on Earth and transform themselves into beautiful buxom babes in order to drain life force from men during sexual excitement. Meanwhile, detective Oakenshield bumbles his way into the investigation of the dessicated bodies.
A very tense (and very good) Canadian exploitation thriller. 🇨🇦
