Director: Bill Rebane | Stars: Paul Bentzen, Debbi Pick, Nick Holt, Karl Wallace
Votes: 747
No inner earth aliens to be seen here, just their voices on a radio. Has a weird ending that will have you asking WTF? Alternate title: They

PG | 73 min | Horror, Thriller

Director: Curtis Harrington | Stars: Anthony Perkins, Julie Harris, Joan Hackett, Kent Smith
Votes: 1,007
Decent TV movie that has a premise similar to what Psycho II would have 13 years later. You'll figure out who the "mysterious boarder" is pretty quickly.
4. Bloodlust! (1961)
Approved | 68 min | Horror, Thriller
A crazed hunter kidnaps people and turns them loose on his private estate, where he hunts them for sport.
Director: Ralph Brooke | Stars: Wilton Graff, June Kenney, Walter Brooke, Robert Reed
Votes: 2,587

5. Last Woman on Earth (1960)
Not Rated | 71 min | Drama, Horror, Mystery
Ev, her husband Harold, and their friend Martin go scuba diving while on vacation in Puerto Rico. When they surface, they find that everyone on the island has died.
Director: Roger Corman | Stars: Betsy Jones-Moreland, Antony Carbone, Robert Towne
Votes: 2,149
Bait and switch movie that starts off interesting but quickly turns into a very boring and tedious love triangle for the rest of the film. The characters don't even try to find out what's going on and the writer does nothing with this end of the world scenario. Watch The Last Man on Earth instead.
6. Bell from Hell (1973)
Unrated | 93 min | Horror, Thriller
After being falsely accused of being insane and put in a asylum so his wicked aunt and her daughters could steal his money, a recently released young man returns to seek the ultimate revenge against them.

Good looking movie but I found it rather boring. The ending will make you feel like you wasted your time.
7. All the Kind Strangers (1974 TV Movie)
TV-PG | 73 min | Horror, Thriller

Director: Burt Kennedy | Stars: Stacy Keach, Samantha Eggar, John Savage, Robby Benson
Votes: 923
Worth a watch for Stacey Keach but it seemed like the writer didn't know how to end the movie.
8. The Alpha Incident (1978)
PG | 95 min | Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller
A microorganism from Mars, brought to Earth by a space probe, terrorizes passengers in a railroad office.
Director: Bill Rebane | Stars: Ralph Meeker, Stafford Morgan, John F. Goff, Carol Irene Newell
Votes: 1,029
Tedious movie where everyone dies in the end. Decent effect with the bursting head.
9. The Disappearance of Flight 412 (1974 TV Movie)
Not Rated | 72 min | Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi
During a radar test mission, Flight 412 witnesses the disappearance of 2 fighter-jets scrambled to intercept a UFO but the Air Force is determined to cover-up the incident.
Director: Jud Taylor | Stars: Glenn Ford, Bradford Dillman, David Soul, Robert F. Lyons
Votes: 727
Okay if you don't mind watching David Soul and three others being interrogated by the military for most of the runtime.
10. End of the World (1977)

After witnessing a man's death in a bizarre accident, Father Pergado goes on a spiritual retreat, where he encounters his alien double bent on world conquest.
Director: John Hayes | Stars: Christopher Lee, Sue Lyon, Kirk Scott, Dean Jagger

Christopher Lee appears in the first 5 minutes but you don't see him again until an hour into the movie.
11. Manster (1959)
Not Rated | 73 min | Horror, Sci-Fi
An American journalist stationed in Japan is given a mysterious injection by a mad scientist, turning him into a murderous, two-headed monster.
Directors: George P. Breakston, Kenneth G. Crane | Stars: Peter Dyneley, Jane Hylton, Tetsu Nakamura, Terri Zimmern
Votes: 1,666
It takes forever for this guy to grow a second head. Literally, it doesn't appear until the last 10 minutes of the movie.
12. The Severed Arm (1973)
R | 91 min | Horror
Trapped in a cave, five men cut the arm off of another companion in order to ward off starvation. After they are saved, their victim seeks revenge on them one by one.

Decent, and the actual killer isn't who you might think.

G | 80 min | Sci-Fi
An electronics expert searching for evidence of aliens picks up signals that he believes are from an alien spacecraft--and they are coming from a lake near town.

Amateur hour. Don't waste your time.

Director: Don Dohler | Stars: Don Leifert, Tom Griffith, Richard Dyszel, Mary Mertens
Votes: 1,275
Not too bad. Has some decent special effects for the time. The ending is very abrupt.
15. The Bat (1959)
Approved | 80 min | Horror, Mystery, Thriller
A crazed killer known as "The Bat" is on the loose in a mansion full of people.
Director: Crane Wilbur | Stars: Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead, Gavin Gordon, John Sutton
Votes: 6,196
Vincent Price's character is killed off half way through the movie. So if you think he's the killer, you're wrong like I was.
16. The Creeping Terror (1964 TV Movie)
Not Rated | 77 min | Horror, Sci-Fi
A newlywed sheriff tries to stop a shambling monster that has emerged from a spaceship to eat the citizens of an American town.
Director: Vic Savage | Stars: Vic Savage, Shannon O'Neil, William Thourlby, John Caresio
Votes: 4,712
Biggest pile of crap that's mostly narration. Apparently no one knows how to run in this movie because they all just stand there screaming, waiting to be swallowed up by a shag rug. Familiar sound effects inside the alien ship also used on Star Trek for the Enterprise bridge.
17. The Day Time Ended (1979)
PG | 79 min | Adventure, Horror, Sci-Fi
Aliens visit the solar-powered house of a middle-class family, and the house is suddenly sucked into a time warp that transports it back to prehistoric times.

Director: Mario Gariazzo | Stars: Robert Hoffmann, Nathalie Delon, Martin Balsam, Sherry Buchanan
Votes: 486
Starts off with two characters who you think are the leads but they get abducted 20 minutes into the movie and are never seen again. Martin Balsam is dubbed for some reason.
19. Extra Terrestrial Visitors (1983)
84 min | Drama, Fantasy, Horror
A young boy in the woods discovers a lovable alien...or is it?
Director: Juan Piquer Simón | Stars: Ian Serra, Nina Ferrer, Susana Bequer, Sara Palmer
Votes: 4,762
Aliens that resemble anteaters. An E.T. rip off by the guy who made Pieces. With two of the stars of Pieces. Also not a good idea to introduce your lead character as a total prick.
20. Future Hunters (1988)
R | 96 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
A man from a post-apocalyptic future travels back in time to prevent the coming nuclear holocaust and enlists the help of a young couple.
Director: Cirio H. Santiago | Stars: Robert Patrick, Linda Carol, Ed Crick, Bob Schott
Votes: 520
Even though Robert Patrick is top billed he seems to be playing second fiddle to actress Linda Carol.

Directors: Luigi Bazzoni, Mario Fanelli | Stars: Florinda Bolkan, Peter McEnery, Nicoletta Elmi, Caterina Boratto
Votes: 2,505
Pretty good Italian mystery. Too bad the lead actress wasn't better looking. Klaus Kinski might have a whole minute of screen time. Alternate title: Primal Impulse
24. Atlantis Interceptors (1983)
Unrated | 98 min | Action, Sci-Fi
An ancient Atlantean relic is discovered on the ocean floor near a sunken nuclear submarine, which triggers a violent set of events that sees a couple of scientists teaming up with a few mercenaries to survive the onslaught that follows.
Director: Ruggero Deodato | Stars: Christopher Connelly, Gioia Scola, Tony King, Stefano Mingardo
Votes: 2,340

Director: Peter Sasdy | Stars: Jack Palance, Keir Dullea, Samantha Eggar, Barry Morse
Votes: 543
Okay for what it is. Pointless rape scene at the beginning. Like Jack Palance said in Young Guns: "Get ready for hell".
27. Someone Behind the Door (1971)
GP | 97 min | Crime, Drama
A neurosurgeon with a cheating wife takes an amnesiac into his home and conditions him to believe that the cheating wife is his own and to take the "appropriate" action.

Teenagers Libby and Kit innocently spend an evening making random prank calls that lead to murderous consequences.
Director: William Castle | Stars: Joan Crawford, John Ireland, Leif Erickson, Sara Lane
Votes: 3,441
Decent, but the two girls spend 15 minutes making prank phone calls before they finally get to John Ireland. Good premise. Would be nice to see this remade but how would you make this kind of movie today?
29. Deathrow Gameshow (1987)
R | 83 min | Comedy
Chuck Toedan's the host of a game show featuring death row convicts competing in life-or-death contests in hopes of cheating the executioner or, at the very least, winning some nice prizes ... See full summary »
Director: Mark Pirro | Stars: John McCafferty, Robyn Blythe, Beano, Darwyn Carson
Votes: 907
Sort of like a dark comedy take on The Running Man. Coincidentally, both movies came out within a month of each other. Includes a comedic villain who looks like a hybrid of Gene Simmons and Sam Kinison. Has it's moments but the most interesting thing is that the lead actor wrote the song "Tonight (We'll Make Love Until We Die)" for The Return of the Living Dead soundtrack.
30. The Kidnapping of the President (1980)
R | 114 min | Thriller
Based on the novel by Charles Templeton, a secret service chief leads a game of cat and mouse when a gang of third-world terrorists kidnap the President.

Director: Eugenio Martín | Stars: Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Alberto de Mendoza, Telly Savalas
Votes: 12,756
Telly Savalas' overacting is the only thing that hurts this movie. His character was completely unnecessary. Other then that it's excellent.

After a virus devastates the global human population, survivors in Antarctica desperately try to find a cure and save the human race.
Director: Kinji Fukasaku | Stars: Masao Kusakari, Tsunehiko Watase, Isao Natsuyagi, Shin'ichi Chiba

33. Peopletoys (1974)
R | 88 min | Horror
After five deranged children are involved in a bus wreck they start killing people at the lodge who insulted them or were rude to them.
Directors: Sean MacGregor, David Sheldon | Stars: Sorrell Booke, Gene Evans, Taylor Lacher, Joan McCall
Votes: 1,896
The child actors are a little annoying at times. Also, there's a slow motion scene of the children beating a guy to death which goes on for far too long, almost 4 minutes. And for some reason that scene is in black and white. Also has an unrecognizable Sorrell Booke who would go on to play Boss Hogg on The Dukes of Hazzard. Alternate title: Devil Times Five
34. Funeral Home (1980)
R | 93 min | Horror, Thriller

Directors: Mel Welles, Aureliano Luppi | Stars: Joseph Cotten, Rosalba Neri, Paul Muller, Riccardo Pizzuti
Votes: 2,451
Italian retelling of Frankenstein with a stupid love story inserted to pad out the running time. Also has an abrupt ending.

Unrated | 92 min | Horror
A murderous demon lurks inside an antique piano in a picturesque coastal town.
Director: Bill Rebane | Stars: Paul Bentzen, Stephanie Cushna, Carol Perry, C. Dave Davis

Boring and cheap looking. The most notable thing is that the actress who played Emily died in the 9/11 attacks.

Director: Jerrold Freedman | Stars: Robert Culp, Eli Wallach, Michael C. Gwynne, Vic Perrin
Votes: 1,080
Better then average TV movie that is mainly a cast of two people and will definitely remind you of The Thing (1982). Recommended.
42. Mania: The Intruder (1986)
87 min | Drama, Horror, Mystery
"Mania" is a 1986 non-hosted horror anthology movie, with four stories: 1) "See No Evil", 2) "Intruder", 3) "Have a Nice Day" and 4) "The Good Samaritan".
Directors: Paul Lynch, David M. Robertson, John Sheppard | Stars: Wayne Robson, Deryck Hazel, David Petersen, Paul McGaffey
Votes: 155
Okay Canadian horror anthology you probably haven't heard of. Looks kind of like a MFTV movie but worth one watch.

Director: Bradley R. Swirnoff | Stars: Paul Ainsley, Wil Albert, Royce D. Applegate, Meridith Baer
Votes: 418
Something to offend everyone. From the "Charles Whitman Invitational", to "Fire the Handicapped", to "You're Gay". Hit and miss comedy that fortunately has more hits then misses. Watch for some recognizable faces including Warren Oates, Harry Shearer, and Joanna Cassidy. Alternate title: American Raspberry
44. Twisted Obsession (1989)
R | 103 min | Drama, Mystery, Romance

Director: Dino Tavella | Stars: Maureen Brown, Luigi Martocci, Alcide Gazzotto, Alba Brotto
Votes: 538
Pretty good little film with the exact same plot as Amsterdamned (1988). In fact, that movie could be considered a remake of this. Recommended.
