@IMongoose @Kolanaki Troma distributed Cannibal: The Musical, but wasn’t involved in production.

Troma movies are not actually good, on purpose.

@LaurenceWolse Oh my god what a poster!

@Anorack One of the greatest B movies ever. If you haven’t watched this one, drop everything and get on it.

@LaurenceWolse The soundtrack around 5:28 sounded really familiar, and I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out where I’d heard it before. Finally realized that it’s from Deep Throat. On the soundtrack album, it’s called “Pussy Cola,” though I think a lot of those titles were made up just to have name for the tracks.

@suetanvil @bmoviebonanza Oh no

@bmoviebonanza Too bad, images from Mastodon don’t work – you can click the fediverse logo to link back to my original post.

No idea if images come through from Mastodon, let’s find out!

@ThomasLongBottom @Che_Donkey A ton of low-budget flicks seem to get released under multiple names.

@MisterBigFart Watched this one today, phenomenal. I think my favorite part is when they show photos of murder victims, but you can see they’re just headshots of some women. Probably actors who auditioned for the film.

@MisterBigFart This is one of those movies where I read the title and immediately go watch it. It’s told me everything I could possibly want to know about the film.

@Outtatime @LaurenceWolse I completely agree. The Illuminatus! ripoff aquatic Nazi zombie premise is really the only knock on an otherwise competently made flick that succeeds on its own terms. I thought the part where the marooned heroes are drawn to the record player was a dang fine moment.

@Anorack This movie was wild, feels like the first ten minutes got bolted on after production ended because the film didn’t come out long enough.

@MisterBigFart That’s a hell of a poster.

@Anorack So yes, this is a cash grab piggybacking off Alien (and maybe a bit of Battlestar Galactica), but IMO it’s a pretty respectable pulp sci-fi film that transcends its limitations and is enjoyable on its own terms. Sid Haig turns in a respectable performance, Ray Walston is terrific, and the ending is pretty great.

Also, James Cameron (yes, THAT James Cameron) was production designer and second unit director.

And: what an amazing poster.

@MisterBigFart This looks amazing.

@miah @Anorack Okay, amazing.

@miah @Anorack does this even remotely work
