It's time again for my yearly Mold Awards Presentation. Stuff I had the pleasure of watching in the past 6 months. And when I say stuff I'm referring to the cheese and/or bad cinema - movies most wouldn't touch with a ten feet pole, or movies you might have seen at your local rental store always wondering if they are worth checking out. Well, wonder no more because here they are - the 2006 Mold Awards Nominees AND winners!
Rules are simple. In order to get nominated said movie had to be a first time viewing for me.
2006 Mold Awards Nominees
2001 Maniacs (2005) - Not everyone's cup of tea. I enjoyed this though.
Aswang (1994) - Pregnant girl in the clutches of madness. Gross and gory.
The Bloodletting (2004) - Shot-On-Video Vampire Action. Better than the usual SOV crap.
Bloodline (2004) - no-budget 'slasher' with enough twists and turns to keep one hooked.
Boo! (2005) - Decent low budget spook-fest with a Halloween setting.
The Candy Snatchers (1973) - Notorious yet campy and corny cheeseball epos.
Caved In: Prehistoric Terror (2006) - Cheesy and fun action-horror with bad acting & badder CGI.
Death To The Supermodels (2005) - I fear I might like this on my second viewing. As for now: one of the worst.
