A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

The slow burn on introducing the ant was awesome. Everyone complains about the smell, not knowing it's formic acid and a tell tale sign of ants, and slowly the answer is revealed but it's unbelievable by most. It was that tension from the dramatic irony that helped make Them! the defining movie of the giant creature genre. Such a great movie.

If you like Them! check out Tarantula.
