| Eccentric
Cinema is
dedicated to "cult" and genre films.
These
movies run the gamut from Z-grade schlock to trend-setting milestones,
big budget curiosities and films which have developed a cult following.
Action, fantasy, horror, sci-fi, erotica, exploitation, martial
arts — the cult/genre film spectrum is diverse. In these pages
you'll find the latest DVD/Blu-ray (and even a few old VHS) movie
reviews, free audio and video downloads (including posters, WAVs,
MP3s and video clips), plus links to the best cult movie sites. |

For

A

| We
sometimes like bad movies.
Naturally, film criticism is a very subjective undertaking. We're
applying individual standards and tastes here. One man's cheese
is another's caviar... and even cheese has its gradations. In
the realm of cult movies, S.B.T.G. ("So bad they're good") flicks
can be hard to qualify. They may be abysmal motion pictures in
a conventional sense yet veritable motherloads of unintentional
humor. This can definitely be a good thing! Film reviews
with an "Extra Cheese" icon (see above)
fit squarely in this category —
genuinely bad movies which can be loads of fun. |

| EC's
ongoing mission...
Our goal is to occupy a comfy middle ground between the didactic
elucidations of the serious film scholar and the empty "Fulci
rulz, man!" banalities of the fanboy. We love all kinds
of cult films; you probably do too, or you wouldn't be here! Our
ongoing mission is to introduce new visitors to the cult/genre
film scene and provide an easy-to-use utility for discovering
these fascinating flicks. So if you're looking for new movie reviews,
DVD movie reviews and free multimedia downloads (WAV & MP3),
then this site is for you! Luxuriate in the weird, the bizarre,
the truly cool world of cult movies. |
