Some of them like Hideous and Head Of The Family are a bit like Troma films...Cheesy (stupid) on purpose...But, kinda fun

Yeah, I've seen some that were okay at the very best, but some were so bad that I was kicking myself in the ass for renting em. Dollman is alright, but it's just a little too cheesy for me. And most vampire films I'm just not really into for some odd reason.

I know a lot of people want to like them .. several grew up on them as i did (well, at least through the 80's) but not one of their films was what i would consider to be a good or strong film.
its a who's who of non-actors ... Tim Thomerson is the best they had..
(i know Helen Hunt .. and one or two others have shown up in small parts... they hardly saved the films)
the one consistant is that the music ALWAYS sucked.
They also suffered from unorigionality - when they werent ripping off better films they were ripping off themselves.
This is a company that only survived because of home video.
people will rent anything. they know it and have been taking advantage of that for 20 years.
an whats worse than full moon ?
their shitty branch of kids films Moonbeam.
for the record .. i was even a member of the Fullmoon mailing list at one time ..
sort of like an ex smoker .. i simply cant deal with that shit at all now

LMAO! :D That's a good one. :)
As for crap like New Concorde and York Entertainment, instead of screwing off and pumping out video after video after video, why not take some of that money, save up a little, get a decent budget and make a movie that's actually good?
