Shocking Dark aka Terminator II. (1989) – Bruno Mattei.

A controversial figure to some, but a hero to me, unabashed plagiarist Bruno Mattei alchemically fashions burnished B-movie gold in his gloriously cheapnis, shamelessly pilfered Sci-fried mash-up of Terminator and Aliens. Shocking Dark is deservedly heralded today as a B-Titan, but if you haven't had the absurdly uplifting pleasure, do seek it out with alacrity. Shocking Dark remains a one-inna-million trash-tastic triumph, an exemplary, credibility shattering Grindhouse grenade that will shred your schlock horror hungry face off! The delicious dearth of dramatic credulity, artistic integrity or production value merely accentuates the bizarrely rigorous fascination that I have for this boldly bungled B-banger!!!

While I can grudgingly accept disparaging comments about the retrograde filmmaking, some of the crude banter herein is undeniably epic, and wholly beyond reproach! An entirely guilt free cinematic joy, as Mattei's exhilaratingly silly Sci-Schlocker Shocking Dark beguiles you with its bravura B-Movie brilliance! Very little rivals Mattei's Rats for bonkers B-Movie madness, but Shocking Dark comes dangerously close! I can recall reading an article that claimed only genuinely erotic people appreciated Shocking Dark, and, with all due humility, there just might be something to that! After only a relatively short duration, I finally warmed to the frightened girl's relentless cries of “Sarah!!! Sarah!!?? I'm scared!!!!"

"Welcome aboard people!!! the Megaforce joyride!!!!!!" 

"Hey!! wop-face!!!! can't you smell that stink of shit????!!!!!"
