'You've just had generation after generation of film critics that just beat these films in the ground, and that way films just disappear outright,' Matt Rotman said. 'As long as they're not talked about, they're not watched.' New from cinebeth ➡️
Rotman points to her film"Nude on the Moon" as an example of the kind of genre films that most people label as bad.

Kill!" and"Plan 9 From Outer Space" are the orphan children of cinema that Rotman embraces with the love, respect and the joyous celebration they deserve.The VHS box art for the Bigfoot film"Shriek of the Mutilated," one of the films included in Matt Rotman's book"Bonkers Ass Cinema."

That's what's entertaining to me. Usually the films I pick are like singular visions of a filmmaker that only makes sense to the guy who made the film."
