B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - GULAG (TV 1985)

This month B-Movie Gazette dives into the prison genre and who doesn't like a good prison flick? Gulag is an extremely well-produced TV movie originally made for HBO before wandering out to obscurity-land. David Keith is in top form as a sportscaster and while covering an event in Moscow is framed by the KGB. Unable to prove his innocence a prison escape is now inevitable, just how will he do it? Malcolm McDowell co-stars, this is a good one folks! 2.75 stars/2.75

TAKE A RIDE WITH "THE HITCHHIKERS" (1972) - IF YOU DO, BE PREPARED TO LOSE YOUR PROPERTY AND POSSIBLY YOUR LIFE (AND NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE COVID)

 

The Hitchhikers (1972)

The 1972 grindhouse classic about a pregnant teen who is kicked out of her house and joins a band of alluring women who lure and rob motorists.

Currently streaming on Tubi (link above) The Hitchhikers is a super low budget sexploitation flick starring Misty Rowe (from Hee Haw tv show fame.) The storyline is certainly worthy and with a better director at the helm perhaps this could have been something really cool along the lines of say, Bonnie's Kids. But alas this one was meant to occupy Turkey-Land although there are lots of skimpy clothes, flopping breasts, pot smoking and other general bad hippy behavior. In a sense, it's a hippy-ploitation flick. A good third of the movie is filmed on one commune location and that gets old. Skip this and watch Hitchhike To Hell instead, that alone tells you how bad this one is. 1.25 stars/2.75
