Direct to Video Movies

[hamradio]

Is there a website that one can visit to see a list of new or upcoming Direct to Video releases that tells one about the plot, running time and quality of the film?

 

Generally they are not well made as a theatrical release and don't get advertisements on television.

 

There are a couple on Directv but hate to shell out even the $4.99 in case it stinks. If its going to appear on the Sci-fi channel then its easy to assume it does.

The only source for direct-to-video movies I know of is the REDBOX. But it doesn't give any info on them.

IMDB might help, but I wouldn't trust the recommendations.

 

I usually pick a film on based on a combination of interest in plot,

interest in cast, (or "Hey that girl is cute") or recommendations or reputation, (even if it's bad.)

You may find some information on the Troma Entertainment site. They are distributors of Independent movies and make their own movies. I attempted to look at what information they have but the site loads so very slowly that I could not wait for it.

 

I know of them because of their release of: *Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead* (2006).

 

Rotten Tomatoes has also a section under DVD for all current releases. This is not limited to the major movies and it includes some Direct-To-Video movies.

Thanks for that information. Holy cow, "Howard The Duck" move over , you been beaten by an undead chicken movie. Why couldn't TCM showed that for Halloween?
