Finding Nightmare Sisters was such a pain in the ass. I refuse to pirate movies out of principle, and this was nearly impossible to find. Finding a free solution was out of the question as this movie is not uploaded anywhere. Amazon Prime Video doesn't even let me rent it due to it only being rent-able in the US. Even with VPN it doesn't work as Amazon checks my billing address. Apparently you can rent movies on fucking Vimeo. It only cost me 2 bucks, but that's way more than what this movie's worth and here's why:
"Yet another awful schlock movie to cross of the CGR Mega List. This is the last truly bad movie I will watch for a while from CGR. It is kind of freeing in a way. After this I only have Re-Animator and Hellraiser left, both of which have been on my watchlist far longer than the Mega List has existed. So before celebrating my completion of that list, I first had to watch one of the worst movies on the list (if you can even call it a movie). It barely has any plot and barely any editing. The filmmakers just set up the camera and let it roll forever. There are so many talking scenes that go on for seemingly ever. And this is no Tarantino movie where the dialogue is interesting, oh no, this is just torture to have to watch and listen to. These dorky chicks turn into hot succubus-es and then they eat all the jocks while before being exorcist-ed back to humans, but they still retain their hotness. Who would have seen that coming... yawn. The only funny moment in the entire movie was when one of the jocks got their dick eaten off, and the way he reacts is so mildly irritated. Like it was not such a big deal that he is being eaten alive starting from his fucking cock. That was not even intentional funny, because every scene that the movie tries to be funny just sucks. Awful and boring, but I have seen worse." 1/5

Nah that's not true. There are some truly great gems in here too, but I'll admit, there are more bad movies than good movies here. cobretti himself even says in his description of some of the movies that they are bad. They can still be entertaining though even though they're bad. |

In fact, I will give it a 6/6, one for each exposed breast. |

Just posting my review of Re-Animator in this thread as well for continuity's sake:
"Yes this is great! I have been waiting for very long time to watch this ever since I saw Cinemassacre do a review of it back in the days of Cinemassacre's Monster Madness. As a gore hound this satisfied me greatly as it is the perfect blend of over the top cheesy gore effects and executed well. Re-Animator is sort of parody of Frankenstein just more 80's and more fucked up. Herbert West is a seriously messed up dude, and love him and his nature. He just goes around re-animating all sorts of creatures for his experiments and does not give a shit about anyone or anything around him, and the dude knows how to handle a shovel. The idea of having a re-animating agent is simple, but yet highly entertaining and intriguing. I think it helped that it is glowing green. The theme is fantastic! Re-Animator is one of those cheesy 80's horror movies that is so good that it sort of transcends that genre. Still, the story and some of the characters could have been way better. Very entertaining." 4/5

Just watched the final movie in the list, and that was Hellraiser. I was always going to watch this movie at some point, ever since Cinemassacre introduced me to it. The fact that it's also in this list just goes to show that it's legendary. cobretti himself even said it didn't really belong here as it was too good of a movie. It's been fun cobretti, it really has. I know I bash some of these (a lot of them... okay, most of them), but it never meant that I didn't get some enjoyment out of them. Remember that. The list has been updated several times, and 50 movies make for a big list. It's impressive that you found 50 movies where I hadn't watched a single one before-hand (even though I was planning to watch several of them). There's a lot of shit in here that I'll never rewatch, but I can't deny you the thanks for introducing me to some of my favorite cult films such as Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky and Trancers, movies I've even bought on Blu-Ray just to watch again and share them with my friends. My taste has been broadened by watching all of these weird genres (different types of exploitation movies and such). As I've said, it's been fun man. I hope to see it be updated again some time, but don't worry, take your time (maybe make some time to watch some movie from my list? Hehe). So to end it all, here's my final review from this list (at this point), Hellraiser: "In this year's Spooktober I have gone back to watch a lot of the first movies in long horror franchises, and even though most of these franchises have been ran into the ground by their shitty sequels, the originals are all usually awesome, and Hellraiser is no exception (it rules actually!). Watching this movie, it is surprising to find out just how few minutes of run-time is allocated to the cenobites. They are barely in it, however, the movie does excellently still because the main villain, Uncle Frank is written so well. The fact that this guy comes back from the dead by absorbing them is pretty cool, but what really puts it over the top are the special effects, and man are they great. Hellraiser is the perfect example of why special effects was at its apex in the 80's. There was no CGI in this era, and everything was so inventive and creative. Just look at these insane effects! The re-animation scene is unbelievable. For a gore-hound such as myself, this movie satisfied me greatly. It was almost too much in fact. Like god damn there is some fucked up shit happening in these scenes, yet it is strangely mesmerizing. The cenobites are all awesome, every single one of them. I know Pinhead usually gets all the attention, but also remember to respect the other ones as well because they look awesome too. This movie is insane, and it is one of my favorites 80's horror movies. It is really cool that the genre of serious horror movies actually had some good entries this late into the 80's, because the 90's sure had some bad apples in it. Hellraiser rules." 4.5/5 Fantastic. |

In 2018 I made a trade with Balder. He was going to see all of the Marvel Netflix tv shows, and I was going to watch all of the CGR Mega List movies. I have been very bad at watching these movies, but now I want to try to actually finish the list within a reasonable amount of time. I had seen 14, but yesterday I forced a couple of friends to watch some with me, we saw 5 of them (sleepaway Camp, The Clones of Bruce Lee, Linnea Quigley’s Horror Workout, Phoenix the Warrior, and Savage Streets). I won’t say they are good, but some of them are enjoyable.

Soon you'll realize that some of these are masterpieces, like Trancers. |

It's essentially a Brucesploitation movie that parodies other Brucesploitations without ever moving outside the genre itself. Quite interesting and entertaining, although at the end of the day, it still is a Brucesploitation movie. |

I have now seen six more, 25 in total, half of the list. (Rocktober Blood, Rapid Fire, Angel, Vinnie Vincent: Metal Tech, Invasion Force, and Blood Feast) The one I liked best was Angel, but the rest was pretty bad overall. I have saved the ones that I think will be the best, so that this experience ends at an somewhat high.

I feel like I have seen way to many bad movies recently, because I have seen 6 more of these and I am really tired. Stunt Rock, Operation Warzone, Ilsa the Mad Butcher, Kiss Meets the Phantom of the park, Street Trash, and Trick or Treat. There was only one I liked out of these six, and that was David A. Prior's flick Operation Warzone. Isla, the Mad Buther was pretty much just porn with some plot? Don't know why there were two from that director on this list (Voodoo Passion/Call of the blonde godess)
