Hello and welcome to my site of b-movie reviews! Obviously, this site is in its early stages but slowly and surely it will develop. Although I don't have very many reviews, upon reading them you'll realize why, they're so frickin' long! I like to go scene at a time and pick up anything I can poke fun at. I would say that these reviews are best read while watching the movies but I honestly don't expect anyone to do that. I only do reviews for movies that I own and have watched (which would be all listed on this site). However, if you have a review and you'd like to send it to me, I'll read it and if I think it would work on this site, I'll post it. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the reviews as much as you enjoy the movies, for better or for worse, hopefully better!

Mesa of Lost Women Planning some vacation time in the Mexican desert? Well, you might want to think about cancelling that flight because I've got bad news for you - Dr. Araña's breeding human-tarantula hybrids that get 45 mpg, wait, not that kind of hybrid...human-tarantula hybrids that he can control with his mind and he's going to use them to take over the world! Yeah. So you'll probably want to make new plans. Not that it'll matter. Your fate is inevitable.
