Shock Movie Massacre
Published June 05, 2003
Do you like B-movies? Do you like to watch the underbelly of the movie world? The part that slithers, slimes and, sometimes, high-kicks, across our screens? If you live in the UK, or have Sky satellite, then you must watch Shock Movie Massacre (SMM) on Bravo, Monday to Friday at 10.30pm. Presented by the dynamic and delectable Emily Booth, or Bouff to her fans, the show examines the cult in TV and movies. So far we've seen interviews with a German gore director, the creator of some of the best Hong Kong female assassin movies, a group of loonies in Italy who think they can film the dead, the ins and outs (literally) on a hard core porn movie in Hollywood, and lots more zaniness. Emily Booth is fearless in her search for the wacky and tasteless in the movie industry worldwide, and anything else that takes her fancy. She's a great host for the show and dives into her material with cheerful humour. Emily is more than willing to collude with the weird demands of her interviewees. Recently she was "decapitated", and her disembodied head conducted the interview from a cardboard box.
Yep, it's cheesy, silly and it takes you to some of the most outlandish places in the world, but if you have a penchant for trashy films (raises hand) then you should be watching this show. Of course, the added benefit is that you can watch Emily Booth, who has a wonderful personality - and nice abs too. I first saw her on Bravo's other show that monitors the worst of trashy films: outTHERE 3. If you're serious about your b-movies, then this is a funny, lighthearted look at some of the best and the worst on offer at the moment.
