Instant Death (2017)
Cringe
This is pretty bad. Tries to be "John Wick" but without the budget. Or cinematography. Or fight choreography. Or editing. If you somehow stick around through this collage of imitation scenes that we've all seen somewhere before, you'll notice that director Ara Paiaya generously credits himself as the DP, editor, visual effects supervisor, action director, fight choreographer, Lou Ferrigno's martial arts instructor, music supervisor, and colourist. I like this, because it makes it easy to know who to blame for how horrible this movie is; Paiaya clearly doesn't know much about how to do any of those jobs, and doesn't care to spend the budget to get people with real experience to handle them. I like this as well, since trying to do high octane action on the budget of a production meeting means we get some truly unintentionally hilarious stuff. I guess what I'm saying is that while I enjoyed watching this movie, I can only recommend it to other masochists, so it's gonna get a 4/10. Eh, make that a 3.
OMG, i'm a Robot! (2015)
Not a Bad Effort
This is still a pretty bad movie but it has some charm. The cast and crew seem like they really care and are trying to do good work but everything is so low-budget even the CGI that looks like it was done by a high school student.
But still very imaginative and I'd like to see more work from the filmmakers!!!
Defective (2017)
Appropriate Title
First off, this movie is definitely a bad movie. But I'll give it credit for trying. Some of the cinematography is nice but a very low-budget film overall. The action is terrible. I don't think they had more than two robot costumes and I'm still not sure if they were even supposed to be robots, cyborgs, or humans with armor because the actors playing them can't decide. Would like to see the filmmakers do a movie with a simpler premise because this sci-fi seems a bit much for them to handle.
Also RIP to that one one robot minding his own business when he gets shot and a shelf falls on him by accident. So funny.

Amazing!!!
If you want a good time, get a bunch of friends over to watch this and laugh at how bad it is. I'm not joking. It's free on YouTube so don't pay any money to see it. I don't think the filmmakers spent any money on this themselves and it shows. All the positive scores anywhere are by cast and crew trying to cheat the system with illegitimate reviews. Disgusting, but the movie is still hilarious if you like watching amateurs who don't know how bad they are.
