BADass SINema Unearthed - Where we dive into the wild, weird, and wonderfully wicked world of classic grindhouse cinema. We celebrate the raw energy and unapologetic style of vintage exploitation films — from the slick swagger of Blaxploitation and the lurid allure of sexploitation to the gnarly thrills of monster mayhem and cosmic horror.

James Cameron's first movie as a director isn’t very good. Even by B-movie standards Piranha II: The Spawning leaves much to be desired. The film, being a sequel to Roger Corman and Joe Dante’s successful flick, should have been wilder, funnier, and a bit more on point in ...
