Piranha (1995)
Unnecessary TV movie remake of Joe Dante's cult 1978 hit is still an ok watch, only if you haven't seen the original.

Dead Space (1991)
Unnecessary sci-fi horror remake of a cult hit which in itself was a rip-off of Alien.
Aug 11, 2023
Forbidden World (1982)
Roger Corman's second Alien knock-off is an exploitation dream of blood, babes and xenomorph-looking creatures.

Humanoids from the Deep (1996)
Remake of a Roger Corman sleazy classic tones down everything that made the original such a cult hit.

Humanoids from the Deep (1980)
A sleazy masterpiece or a misogynistic misfire? Roger Corman's 80s schlock horror isn't one for sitting on the fence.

Raptor (2001)
Killer raptor on loose? Nope, it's just recycled footage from the Carnosaur trilogy padded out into a new film. Shameless from Roger Corman.

Sharktopus Vs Pteracuda (2014)
Nonsensically-named CGI monsters do battle with each other in this daft sequel to a daft film. It does what it says on the tin.

Unknown Origin (1995)
"Only one species can rule the Earth. It may no longer be human." Plot An underwater research facility set up in the year 2020 to mine...

Piranhaconda (2012)
Half-piranha, half-anaconda. It's Piranhaconda. Surely, the film sells itself.
