It has been a while since i watched B movies. In fact, this year i have not seen many at all, compares to previous years. So why this change ? Well, very busy this year in my personal life, so you got to try and find some time over, just to sit down and enjoy some lovely cheesy special effects, bad acting and fun dialogue. I am very excited about Sharknado 4 in the end of july, it could be one of the best films of this year, or at least be on the list of best films. I have seen that a lot of B movies have come out, so i might take some time to see some more later on this summer. Sometimes it is just nice to not think, just have fun, and get some classic elements from classic B films. Have you noticed that a lot of films in recent years have been B movies with sharks attacking ? You have 3-Headed Shark, Jurassic Shark, Jersey Shore Shark Attack and many more titles, just the right films for the perfect Thanksgiving Dinner. I can actually recommend 3-Headed Shark Attack, it was much better than the first film, with better special effects and a better story. Cheesy ? Yes, but when you know it is a B movie, cheesy is supposed to be included. There are so many films released every year, that includes sharks, dinosaurs or other creatures attacking humans, so you don´t have to worry about not finding your B movie genre. The cast includes both classic B actors, and also some fresh actors who try and keep these films alive in today´s society. The most important detail when it comes to films in the B genre, is to make it with passion for classic ingredients. If you know what you are doing, and use the right tools, you could please both fans of old classics and also find a new fanbase of a younger generation. Just look how popular Sharknado have become over the years, millions of people have seen all 3 films so far, and i am sure that the 4th film will deliver a really good time. When it comes to choosing a B movie, it can be a bit tricky sometimes. I am happy that some smaller film studios keep the B film industry alive. So while looking around for films that have come out on dvd, i came across a film called Sharkansas Womens Prison Massacre, a title that must have been sent from heaven. This is the kind of title they should be showing at Almedalen 2016 in Sweden, where all the swedish parlament people gather, this is exactly what they need. With a wonderful title, and what seems to be a wonderful plot included, is this the perfect film for the Ernst Kirschteiger audience, or should this film be buried deep underneath the sea ?
When a enviromental accident rips apart the earth´s crust, prehistoric sharks are let out from underground. Detective Kendra Patterson ( Traci Lords ) and Detective Adam ( Corey Landis ) find body parts. Detective Kendra is curious if an alligator could be behind the brutal attack, but Detective Adam belive this must be something completely different behind the attack. A group of women prisoners are being transported, while one of them have planned an escape. But what could have been the way out to freedom, is just about to become a journey to hell.
Let´s get honest here folks. If you hate these kinds of B movies, you are not going to enjoy Sharkansas Womens Prison Massacre. On the other hand, if you love Sharknado and other films with insane combinations with sharks included, you might actually enjoy this one. The idea of prison women fighting sharks, proves that there is still hope for good ideas in the movie industry. We need B films in these times, because we all know that next year the sequel to 50 Shades Of Grey will be here, and you want to jump off a bridge thinking about 50 Shades.....its true. Now, as you watch Skarkansas Women Prison Massacre, you know it is going to be funny, and have dialogue written in 24 minutes, but thats ok. That´s the whole point, and i am ok with that. I will say though that the strenght of this film, is that the shark effects are actually not all bad. In fact, this might be one of the better looking sharks in a B movie like this. And of course, we have legendary actor Traci Lords on board, so you know this is signed quality. The acting may not be very good in general, but this is still better than many of the ordinary releases. The female actors make fun of themselves in a good way, they know how to mix classic B movie elements. You might think that this is a horror film, i would call this more of a comedy horror, because you will laugh more than expected. Don´t expect lots of weapons or body parts flying though, this is more of a traditional old school film, like Eaten Alive with Robert Englund. But instead of a alligator, we have prehistoric sharks included. Director Jim Wynorski is a legendary director, who have directed over 100 B movies, and you have so many titles to choose between. But i would suggest at least 3 of them, that you should see. Chopping Mall, The Return Of The Swamp Thing and Gargoyle: Wings Of Darkness. 3 classic B films from Jim Wynorski´s film cabaret. I have not seen every single one of his films, considering he have directed so many, but a few of them, and some of them have turned out to be fun. It is hard to say if Sharkansas Womens Prison Manager is one of his better films, but i would call it one of his most funniest films. With the silly plot, combined with shark attacks, and funny dialogue, this will guaranteed give you a good time on a beer night with friends. I might travel down to Alabama now, and gear up a boat with a shotgun and a 6 pack of cold ones. You never know if Gordon Klingenschmitt might jump out of the water, with his Bruce Jenner dress. Wait a minute, that actually sounds great.
