Memorial Valley Massacre A.K.A. Valley of Death A.K.A. Son of Sleepaway Camp (1988)

An American slasher horror directed by Robert C. Hughes.
A modern day caveman is causing trouble at a tourist campground.
Eegah 2 is what I call this. Unfortunately, we have to make due without a magical musician that sounds like a whole band this time. Fortunately, they knew what to film. RV? KABLASTO! Bulldozer to ranger shack? CRUNCH! Teenage girl with tight clothing? Wet T-shirt contest! This seemed like it was supposed to be so bad that it's good and it was. The simple plot and stereotypical characters worked great. The film actually mocks itself for you in this case. The audio and video were not bad. There were some good camera angles that showed very clearly what was going on. I'm not saying it's a creative masterpiece, but a functioning work of humor for horror movie fans. I rate this adequate. Watch it if you want to laugh about a horror film.

Eegah: The Name Written in Blood (1962)

An American fantasy comedy film by Arch Hall Sr., starring Richard Kiel.
A caveman who has survived into the '60s just by living a long time is found by some people. He takes a father and daughter team to his cave, but they escape with the aid of a teenager with a magic guitar that sounds like a whole band. The caveman then wanders into a suburban area.
The plot and characters are so bad they're good. The soundtrack really gave this film some style. When the dude starts singing and playing his guitar, it sounds like a whole band is playing (and usually without a guitar part). His voice even changes. Hilarious! The production was total crap and everything looked and sounded cheap like Teisco Japanese made cheap. I think that the grass was astroturf! When a movie is so bad that it's entertainingly good, I tend to split the difference and rate it o.k. Watch this to laugh because this is the kind of comedy that I get.
