Welcome to B-Movie Enema, my Enemaniacs. It’s February. What happens in February? Well, it’s the last month we all have to deal with winter… if you aren’t in places like Miami or, I dunno, Calgary.… More
Money Plane (2020)
This week, B-Movie Enema cashes out.
Let us take a trip to July 2020. The country, nay, the WORLD was in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. Remember that? COVID? You should, because, technically, it never really went away. It’s here… forever. Just like me, sitting at this computer, writing these reviews… I am forever.
Anyway, during the dark early days of the pandemic, and no movie theaters or restaurants open to get out of the house to enjoy, along came streaming services busting out all over the goddamn place. Content was flooding the void… for better or worse. Every streaming platform was booming. Movies that would have been buried by the mega releases in theaters were now being consumed by a greater percentage of the population. During this time, it was uncertain when new blockbusters were ever going to return. It wasn’t even sure if movie theaters were going to survive the shutdowns. But then, like a silver bird flying in from the far-off horizon, came a savior…
Money Plane.

Gush (2025)
Welcome to a new review here at B-Movie Enema.
Congratulations are in order this week. You see, the movie I’m going to be writing about isn’t just the loooooong-awaited return of B-Movie Enema favorites Brian K. Williams and Ellie Church, but this week’s movie, Gush, is also the absolutely most recent movie ever covered on the blog. So, hey… Williams and Church, the super couple of low-budget exploitation art, for the win!
Previous movies involving the pair on this site are Space Babes from Outer Space, which was directed by Williams and starred Church, Amazon Hot Box, in which Church was the villainous warden in the vein of Ilsa with Williams in the role of an editor, and Frankenstein Created Bikers, in which Church was featured as Candy. So it’s great to see these two back in the saddle here once again, but I also get to reference another person whose movies I really could also cover on the site. I mean, I definitely could cover more Ellie Church’s filmography, but there are still a couple movies from Williams I could someday cover as well. No, the person I’m talking about is yet another Hoosier, Scott Schirmer.

Feeding Frenzy (2010)
The calendar flips to 2026 and, of course, B-Movie Enema is there for you, my lovely Enemaniacs!
So… 2025, huh? That sure was a… year, wasn’t it? There was that one thing that happened. There was that other thing. You know the one. Yeah. That one. But there were, like, one or two good things that happened too, right? The Washington Commanders were only 33 points and one more win away from a sixth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. That was exciting for exactly 20 minutes of that late afternoon. I got to interview Tjardus Greidanus, the director of the great 1990 thriller The Final Sacrifice. So, on balance, 2025 sucked, but a couple of fun things happened.
To kick 2026 off, I call upon an influence of B-Movie Enema… RedLetterMedia. This is also the first of two times I’ll call upon those fucking hacks from Milwaukee this year. In order to really honor them, I should start with their 2010 feature film, Feeding Frenzy, featuring the media group’s mascot, the psychotic elderly man, Mr. Harry S. Plinkett.

The Dorm That Dripped Blood (1982)
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Enemaniacs!
This year, B-Movie Enema celebrates by leaving campus for Christmas break. Well, not really. I’m here. I’m always here. I am forever. Please kill me.
Anyway, the movie I’ve chosen for this review to close out 2025 is one that I’ve wanted to cover for a while now. 1982’s The Dorm That Dripped Blood is also known in some parts as Pranks. In a bit of a twist in the usual expectations of how naming and renaming conventions go for old, lower-budget horror flicks, this is a movie that was actually ORIGINALLY released as Pranks, but became best known under the other The Dorm That Dripped Blood title. In fact, that was the title it had when I first saw it. Much like with last week’s Terror Eyes, I’m almost positive I saw this for the first time on the much-loved defunct Roku channel, Bizarre TV.

Terror Eyes (1989)
Welcome back to B-Movie Enema and the second chapter in my two-part Vivian Schilling adventure!
Last week, I looked at the movie that is Schilling’s best-known movie, Soultaker. The popularity gained by the movie is mostly thanks to Mystery Science Theater 3000. That is a tad unfortunate because the popularity also gave it a reputation… not a good one at that. It’s not that bad of a movie, but the riffs from the Satellite of Love often wire viewers’ brains to think that the uncut movie is every bit as bad as the comedy of MST3K’s writers want you to think it is for their jokes to work. Don’t think that’s me saying that MST3K is bad or anything. There would be nothing more opposite than that. It’s just how things are.
This week, we have a movie from Schilling’s filmography that is even earlier in her timeline than Soultaker. This week, I’m going to review the horror/comedy anthology Terror Eyes.

UPDATE: The Final Sacrifice Blu Ray Announced
Rowsdower coming to Blu Ray? Very possible with help from the fans!
Soultaker (1990)
This review of B-Movie Enema will claim your very soul!
This week and next, I’m going to review a couple of movies tied to writer, director, producer, and actress Vivian Schilling. I don’t expect too many people to immediately see that name and think, “Oh, yes… Vivian Schilling. I am intimately aware of her work.” Generally speaking, she has not really worked in film for nearly 15 years. However, she has a few movies in her filmography that are definitely worthy of coverage. This week’s is likely her best-known film. That’s because the fine folks on the Satellite of Love lampooned this movie on the final season of the original run of Mystery Science Theater 3000. That’s right, it’s 1990’s Soultaker starring Schilling, Joe Estevez, and Robert Z’Dar.
As for Vivian Shilling, the co-writer and star of this film, she was born in 1968 in Wichita, Kansas. She went to study acting in New York City at the famed Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. In 1986, at the age of 18, Schilling appeared in The Adventures of Taura: Prison Ship Star Slammer. Not only is that a title that just rolls off the tongue, it’s a movie that I could see myself reviewing on this very site, but it also appeared on one of this year’s episodes of Best of the Worst from RedLetterMedia. Her first taste of actual scripting and leading a film is going to be the focus of next week’s review. It would really be Soultaker that would likely be her most famous movie.

Eight Days a Week (1997)
Welcome back to B-Movie Enema!
We’ve got something of a returning character in this week’s movie. Writer/director Michael Davis originally got started as a storyboard artist. Between 1989 and 1992, he actually had a few interesting credits on his resume. In 1989, he did the storyboards for the Kevin S. Tenney film The Cellar. The very next year, he stepped up in terms of quality films with 1990’s Tremors. The very next year, 1991, he did the storyboards for a highly anticipated sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. In 1993, he wrote the first of three Prehysteria! movies released through Full Moon Features under their Moonbeam Entertainment imprint for children and family films. Then, in 1994, he wrote one of the main stars of 2016’s Alyssa Milano Month, Double Dragon.
But this week, we look at Davis’s sophomore outing as a director, Eight Days a Week.
