A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.
Rules:
- Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
- Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
- 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?)
- Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

I couldn't find out the full story, but apparently the distributor only made 32 copies for theatrical release. It looks like they decided early on it was 'straight to video.' There were showings around the country. I myself have only seen it on DVD
I saw it at a midnight showing at an art theater. It was a cool place, gentrification killed it and the pandemic finished it off. Anyways, the thing I remember about this movie was how the weirdness obscured the subtext, which is how the main characters, dementia addled elders, face death with dignity. I remember liking it more than I thought I would.
There was a brief period when straight to DVD meant that some really off the wall movies could get made even if they'd never see in theaters.
Here's an oddity that flew in under the radar.
