“It’s Only a Series of Freak Circumstances” - Carnage (1984)

It is time to return to the world of auteur Andy Milligan, whose films we have already discussed include Torture Dungeon (1970), Bloodthirsty Butchers (1970), The Body Beneath (1970), The Man with Two Heads (1972), The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Here! (1972), Blood (1973), Legacy of Blood (1978), and Monstrosity (1987). Now we turn our thoughts to one of Mr. Milligan's more timely exploitation films, Carnage (1984), released soon after hits like The Evil Dead (1981) and Poltergeist (1982). Carnage is Mr. Milligan's version of a haunted house story, and it tells a compelling story indeed.

Your universe's critics are oddly unimpressed by Mr. Milligan's efforts. For example, reviewer Hitchcoc writes, "Anyway, there's no end to the suffering, not of the people in the house, but of the people who saw this movie. Avoid at all costs." Reviewer hangsheep2004 writes, somewhat inexplicably, "This movie is so bad they do not even sell it in many places. Look out Plan 9 from outer Space, look out Manos, Hands of Fate, you have a contender for worst picture of all time. Carnage has that potential, the only potential it has." And reviewer BA_Harrison writes, "With lousy acting from all involved, and special effects limited to objects being moved by wires (some of which are clearly visible) and a fair amount of hokey gore (including a really laughable disembowelment, a meat cleaver in the head and a blood-free decapitation), this woeful ghost flick is strictly for fans of really bad movies."

“Go Make Love to Your Iron Mistress” - Bigfoot (1970)

Bigfoot is no stranger to lists of classic films. Here at Senseless Cinema, we have explored such gems as Curse of Bigfoot (1976), Capture of Bigfoot (1979), Bog (1979), Night of the Demon (1980), Demonwarp (1988), and  Night Claws (2012). Now it is time to consider one of the earliest and finest bigfoot films, 1970's Bigfoot, directed by esteemed filmmaker Robert F. Slatzer, director of the biker classic The Hellcats (1968). 

Strangely, some of your universe's critics do not appreciate Bigfoot. Reviewer lfdewolfe writes, "Screw this movie! I HATE IT!!! Words cannot describe my hatred for this movie." Reviewer bensonmum2 writes, "What a complete load of garbage! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, about Bigfoot is wretched." And reviewer TheUnknown837-1 writes, "The screenplay is just the same set of words and phrases being repeated over and over again and the editing is absolutely horrendous."
