This week on the B-movie record is The Terrifying (2016)
Hello good people. And welcome to 50 B Movies: The Sequel. It’s bigger, better and meaner. The original 50 b movies covered a wide range of B movies. There was everything from Acknowledgments 3 For The void. Some movies were funny. Some were unintentionally funny. And some were mainstream with distant concepts like zombie tigers. All in all, it was a hell of a list.
Why make a sequel? Because narrowing down a list of 50 must-see B-movies before you die was tough. With so many movies to watch, you can never really know if the movie is good. Sure, sometimes 5 minutes later you know it’s a real stink. Other times it may take half an hour before they realize they will never get that half hour back in their life. Poof. Gone. But overall, there are plenty of great B movies that weren’t on the original list.
So welcome if you are an LRM reader and welcome if this is your first time here. Be warned, we’re going deep into the bush to shoot these B-movies. We’re not going to rehash anyone’s previous list of 50, 100, or 1000 B-movies. No. So get ready for 50 B-Movies You Must See Before You Die: The Sequel. Bigger. Better. Nastier. Yeah yeah.
