Alan Ng Film Threat In terms of production values, make-up, costume, and puppet monsters,Puppet MasterandDemonic Toysdo it so much better. Still, Ted Nicolaou's film is worth watching... Rated: 7/10 Jan 2, 2022 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed There isn't much about the film that makes sense, as it's strictly a film with the intent on shining a spotlight on early nineties surrealism and pop. Rated: 3/4 Jul 13, 2012 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 1, 2005 Full Review David Keyes Cinemaphile.org ...pushes so many buttons that I wouldn't blame anyone who would like to push them back.

Audience Member https://cinephilecrocodile.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/bad-channels-dir-ted-nicolaou-1992-bad.html Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad is correct, and not in a good bad way, either. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is like one long music video acid trip. Worth the watch for B movie purposes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad Channels is a bad movie. The below average make-up and design along with annoying characters make this an extremely stupid B-movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad Channels is yet another B-level sci-fi/horror film from the minds at Full Moon, and it feels more like an 80s film than a 90s one. However, it manages to be a truly fun bit of camp featuring hair bands, alien fungus, robots, and a D.J. who might just be able to save the planet. Stupid on every possible level, Bad Channels doesn't make a lot of sense, but it is loads of fun for those who can dismiss things like logic and quality. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A back country radio station is about to become the base of operations for a sinister alien being, who plans on using the airwaves to lure voluptuous young women into his evil clutches! How, exactly, does the alien go about collecting these women, you may ask? He transmits radio signals that make them envision themselves in a bad music video before they are shrunk down and teleported into tiny glass vials. Seems simple enough, right? Full Moon brings us another spaced out comedy in BAD CHANNELS, a silly spoof of the invasion movies of the 50s with 1980s sensibilities. Paul Hipp plays our wacky shock jock hero Dangerous Dan with plenty of enthusiasm, bringing life to what could have been an otherwise dull experience. The cleverness of the plot begins and ends with Dangerous Dan's Wellesian attempt to warn the public of their impending doom, then it is right back to rubber monsters and Grade-A cheese. SUBSPECIES director Ted Nicolaou sets the mood for a perfect B-Movie, but, in a fatal flaw, allows the awful music videos to take up more screen time than the alien action. Full Moon fans are sure to relish the droll humor in this goofy comedy, however. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
