B-Movie Gold - Entertaining + Amusing Campiness

I know to anyone reading this, you must be thinking, "Why is this beeyatch posting on a board about a movie no one seems to give a rat's a$$ about?" Well, I'm here to let others who come around in the future know "The Back Lot Murders" is B-movie gold - the best of the worst if you will. :p I saw the cover at the rental store & rented it despite the fact that Corey Haim was in it. I thought, "Oh it's so going to suck, but there's nothing else even half interesting here so I'll rent it." His part in it is not as prevalent as one may be led to believe. This movie is campy & entertaining & doesn't take itself too seriously. It's more along the lines of movies like "Student Bodies" or "Return to Horror High". It's got lots of T&A but still entertaining & campy. When I saw Priscilla Barnes' name in the beginning credits I thought, "D@mn, now it's REALLY going to suck," but once again, I was proven wrong. Her performance is one of the best things about the movie. She doesn't take herself too seriously & seems to have fun with the part. She aged fairly well from the time of her "Three's Company" days, too, haha. I could never look as good in those vinyl-latex-rubber-whatever-material-that-was black pants as she does. She's one crazy biznitch in this movie! I wouldn't classify this as straight-up horror but more of a "campy horror" flick. I also loved Charles Fleischer's performance as the director of the video shoot. He's the dude that provided the voice for Roger Rabbit. He's got some pretty funny dialogue in this one & he's funny in the dvd extras as well. Is this "the thinking man's horror flick" as director Defalco described it in the extras? No, but it's still a pretty little campy gem of a flick worth checking out in my opinion.
