Actually, I made a mistake when I said "impressionist". I should have said "expressionist", and several films, notably The Golem and Nosferatu actually fit in the category (in addition to Caligari.)

My bad for posting while sleepy.

I goofed. It happens sometimes when I get sleepy. I should have said "German Expressionist" horror films, a category which includes films like The Golem, and, of course, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

Are there any German Impressionist horror movies from the 20s other than "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari"?

I've actually seen bits and pieces of "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus" a couple of times (and, for the record, "Boa vs. Python" in its entirety…) but I apparently just don't have the Badger's level of fortitude…

I love bad movies. My brothers and I have a long history of watching bad movies, and between the three of us probably have seen some of the worst.

Sometimes it's refreshing to write about things that aren't likely to be polarizing. Just about everyone has watched and heckled a movie at some point, after all.

As we move into the fall, I'm planning to review some of the classic Universal Monster films as well as some of the great German Impressionist horror films from the 1920's, so if you've got any requests that fit into those categories, let me know.

I watch a lot of bad movies. But I'm generally nice enough to readers to not review them. Maybe I'll return the favor. I have so many that I could review….
