A Movie A Day Keeps The Zombies Away

Chillerama (2011)

It’s the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons. Four films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night! With titles like Wadzilla, I Was A Teenage Werebear, The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, and Zom-B-Movie, Chillerama not only celebrates the golden age of drive-in B horror shlock but also spans over four decades of cinema with something for every bad taste.

4 tales 1 movie, B to the bone! Horror like it was meant to be… funny. Sloppy and yet amusing enough for die hard horror fans.

Wadzilla - Directed and starring Adam Rifkin. Monster sperm comes to town. A sick comedic twist on manly ammunition. I couldn’t stop laughing! It reminded me of Bad Biology (2008).

I Was a Teenage Werebear - Hmmm… this was a bit weird. “wereBEAR” you know where i’m gettin’ at right? Not traditional… Most B-horrors of yesteryear’s were not as liberal. We’re used to big guns, babes with boobs and blood. The musical aspect of it was somewhat tiring and annoying.

The Diary of Anne Frankenstien - A throwback to the black and white film era. Directed by Adam Green, of Frozen (2010) and the modern cult-ish slasher horror Hatchet (2006).

Zom-B-Movie - Wraps everything up in a blueish goo popcorn finale! The drive-in is plagued by the living dead and our heroes battle to survive, the comedy and horror. Just like the 80s!

Wadzilla & The Diary of Anne Frankenstein were the best ones!

Overall it was a pleasant experience, i wanted more. Everything seemed “rushed” i enjoyed 50% of the content. Some of it was just lame and unnecessary. A good attempt in giving props to the films of the past, but they could do better.

Funny? Some. Good? Some. Bad? Some.
