Hey does anyone have any recommendations for a good horror b-movie?
I will say I'm a bit odd on my classification of 'B-Movie' it pretty much covers the cheesy 70s/80s film like Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Critters, The Stuff to well made films that seem to have a small cult following like The Burbs, Tucker and Dale Vs Evil, My Name is Bruce ect.
Probably a pretty wide classification but One a whole I like any film I watch as long as you can tell some love has gone in to its creation.
Cheers

Not exactly a 'B-Movie', but it's not that well known and has developed a cult following.
Frankenhooker
Class of Nuke'em High (1,2,3)
Tooth Fairy (2006)
Class of 1984
The Toxic Avenger
Maniac Nurses Find Ecstasy
Poultrygeist
Braindead
The Driller Killer
The Gingerdead Man
Basket Case
Basket Case 2
Basket Case 3: The Progeny
I am Omega
Bad Boy Bubby
Inbred
Hansel & Gretel Get Baked
She's Crushed
The Car (1977) - A murderous car terrorizes a small American town. How ill they stop it?!
The Re-Animator 2 is very funny too. I'm not sure that was the intention but i remember laughing a lot when I first saw it.
What can I say I was a child of the video nasty generation, still have loads of those movies on video somewhere.
R1 DVD under the title Horrible.
Basket Case has been mentioned. 2 &3 more jokey in style but still ok. Other Frank Henenlotter goodies include Frankenhooker and Brain Damage.
Night of the Creeps also. Just looking up this thread these have already been mentioned.
The Convent (2000) is a fairly recent B-Movie laugh.
Blood Bath at the House of Death, an underrated Kenny Everett 80's vehicle. Very good DVD of it was released a few years ago after being hard to find.
Frightmare and House of Whipcord, couple of Pete Walker 70's films.
Vampyres ,for a bit of lady vampire lust.
Blue Sunshine.
Its Alive.
Horror Hospital and Tower of Evil. Think those two are easier to find on R1.
......just a few off the top of my head.
Bad Boy Bubby is not a horror movie.
peeping tom, twisted nerve, blood on satans claw, tales from the crypt (amicus), the devils, cool it carol, take an easy ride.....
Basket Case mentioned above is on Horror Channel at the moment so check listings.
Also check out Information TV (Freesat 401) for Bloody Pit of Horror - hilarious and compelling in its groovy badness. Someone really should remake it.
Them! (1954) - giant ants terrorise a couple in New Mexico. We still have a Super 8 reel of this film
Prophecy (1979) - one of my favourite films is The Prophecy (1995) so one night, I asked a friend to rent it from Blockbusters and he came home with this. A blood-thirsty mutant mama bear with a pro-environmental message. It also features many unintentionally funny scenes including the death scene of a kid. Good times.
The Crawling Eye (1958) - a giant eyeball humps its way up a mountain to kill everyone in a mountain town. This film was the first film to leave me slack-jawed under a cloud of WTF? while watching as a child. I'll never stop loving this undeniably bad but fun film.
Is The Tall Man (2012) a B-movie horror? It goes on the list if it is.
It is called 'The Shuttered Room'. Do not look at any replies about it, ignore the box, just watch. You don't want spoilers. It is not bad at all.
Indeed this is the correct definition - though I would cite spirit as important when it comes to indy features, DVD schlock, etc (Prophecy mentioned above was a well funded major release). Movies4Men are showing a number of Butchers titles, some of them are well worth seeing.
