EC
reviews everything from family fare to erotica. Some
review pages may feature screenshots containing gore
and/or naughty bits.

Movies
are rated on a simple point system: 10
is the absolute BEST
rating; 1
is the WORST.
For DVDs a second rating is provided, evaluating picture/sound
quality, bonus features, liner notes, packaging and overall
bang for the buck. (A score of '0' is not possible — '1' is
the lowest — and decimal points are not used.)

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 (and even a few VHS) movie reviews,
free audio and video downloads (including posters, WAVs, MP3s
and video clips), plus links to the best cult movie sites. |

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 below) fit
squarely in this category —
genuinely bad movies which can be 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 film scene and provide an interactive, easy-to-use utility
for discovering these fascinating movies. 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.
