I hate to rag on micro budget movies, getting a film finished and out there is no mean feat, but for some things there's no excuse; There are plenty of good actors who will work for guild minimum, and a coherent script costs no more to write than, say, Night of the Demon...
You see, the film starts at the end, and is told in flashbeck, a common enough method, only there are several flashbacks along the way - flashbacks within flashbacks, and while many of the scenes do not feature the main character (the one doing the flashing back) the sub-flashbacks almost all have no survivors, and in one case the guy doing the main story wasn't present when the nested (and witness free) flashback was recounted! So he is recounting the recounting of a tail which no one could have known about and which he didn't even hear!

Night of the Demon - Lisa's Review
*** SPOILERS ***
Well we've got a right stinker this week. I wouldn't say it was the worst one I've watched so far on the list, but it is definately not one I would ever recommend to anyone else for any reason, other than a desire to complete the nasties list challenge.

Night of the Bloody Apes - Will's Review
Badly acted, badly directed and edited, with dialogue translated word-by-word from Spanish with no thought to syntax or English sentence formation, this is a near perfect drive-in or freinds-and-beer movie.
Night of the Bloody Apes - Lisa's Review
*** SPOILERS ***
I read the title of this one and thought 'oh gawd, here we go. How can this possibly be any good?'. I slightly shame myself however to admit that I enjoyed this one, BUT for all the wrong reasons. For me, this one was a 'So bad its good' movie. I found myself tittering all the way through. Just when you were getting over the humor of the last cheesy line, terrible peace of acting, awful effect or desperately flawed storyline, lo and behold, something else happens to amuse you!
