| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.There isn't much about the film that makes sense, as it's strictly a film with the intent on shining a spotlight on early nineties surrealism and pop. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid Keyes...pushes so many buttons that I wouldn't blame anyone who would like to push them back. |
| User Review?HorrorFan? .this movie is awesome it rocks to bad people never heard of it love the music |
| User ReviewTim HThis is an awesome Sci-fi movie that has Aliens trying to steal Earth women, and it has the Blue Oyster Cult in it!!! |
| User ReviewKayla KI'm addicted to the lines on the back of boxes... this one is: Some men like to put their women on pedestals. Some men like to put their women in the kitchen. The DJ at KDUL likes to put them in jars. Shlocky and fun. Who doesn't love fungus that likes to rock out?! |
| User ReviewCarl MA back country radio station is about to become the base of operations for a sinister alien being, who plans on using the airwaves to lure voluptuous young women into his evil clutches! How, exactly, does the alien go about collecting these women, you may ask? He transmits radio signals that make them envision themselves in a bad music video before they are shrunk down and teleported into tiny glass vials. Seems simple enough, right? Full Moon brings us another spaced out comedy in BAD CHANNELS, a silly spoof of the invasion movies of the 50s with 1980s sensibilities. Paul Hipp plays our wacky shock jock hero Dangerous Dan with plenty of enthusiasm, bringing life to what could have been an otherwise dull experience. The cleverness of the plot begins and ends with Dangerous Dan's Wellesian attempt to warn the public of their impending doom, then it is right back to rubber monsters and Grade-A cheese. SUBSPECIES director Ted Nicolaou sets the mood for a perfect B-Movie, but, in a fatal flaw, allows the awful music videos to take up more screen time than the alien action. Full Moon fans are sure to relish the droll humor in this goofy comedy, however. |
| User ReviewLiam UBadly acted and a less than average plot, this film is low budget with some rather strange musical bits. Quite bizarre, sort of entertaining in places, sort of nonsense too. |
| User ReviewMatthew CGoofy 80s fun from Full Moonâ?¦except that it was made in the 90s. Still, if you enjoy some low budget, cheesy horror/comedy, like Critters or Horror Vision, you could do worse. Former MTV VJ, Martha Quinn stars, and doesn't totally suck. The effects are pretty silly and the story is extremely silly. The odd thing is that it could actually have been a family friendly film if not for the pervasive strong language. There's pretty much no sex, and the violence is mostly cornball and cartoony. It's worth a watch if you enjoy the sillier side of 80s genre films, but not something to go out of your way to see. |
| User Reviewken jWhen a alien crash lands in a small town it decides the one place that would be perfect to take over would be the neighborhood radio station of coarse the DJ on for the night is one known for his stunts and no one at first believes him as the alien starts to collect women and shrinking them down to size to keep them captive in small jars. I believe the plot says it all here this movie is pure cheese some are gonna like it some are gonna hate it so watch at your own risk i just thought it was ok not really sure id see it again |
| User ReviewR.John XThis "prequel" to Dollman vs Demonic Toys is just a ton of fun. Though I could have done without the silliness from the alien and his robot, the rest of the film mostly makes up for it. And with a soundtrack put together by Blue Oyster Cult and featuring Fair Game and Sykotik Sinfoney it's nice to listen to which is a bonus. In fact there are some great hard rock moments in the film that had me laughing out loud as I wish I had long hair again to headbang with. The film is almost a musical there's so much music in it. Not a great film by any extent but having mostly one main location allowed the film to look a lot better than it might have otherwise as they could concentrate on making the radio station look good. If you like hard rock music and b movies, Bad Channels was made for you. |
