And to start this thread how about we start with something obscure.
The Cinema Snob movie
This movie is based off the internet review character The Cinema Snob. A pretentious film snob who loves art films, adores Scorsese, Citizen Kane is his favorite movie, and enjoys the feeling of being smarter then everyone else when it comes to film. And what does this character do for a living? He reviews exploitation movies, horror films, and porn! This comedic review series now has over 200 episodes, and has reviewed the likes of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Maniac, Night Dreams (the arthouse porn), Sleepaway Camp, ET the Porno (I'm serious), Cannibal Holocaust, Cannibal Ferox, and even the original I Spit on Your Grave. The Snob character looks down at these movies as pure filth and exploitation for the sake of exploitation, which he despises. Unless it is Salo, then he likes it.
Brad Jones is the creator of the Cinema Snob and is very different from the character. For starters, he loves exploitation films, loves quite a few of the movies he has reviewed, and Caligula is actually his favorite movie. Which he also reviewed in a two part 100th episode crossover event with other internet reviewers. He is also a low budget exploitation film maker with a few movies under his belt, that have gained a degree of popularity due to his internet celebrity.
This movie was made based off the idea of his internet personality. The story is about an exploitation film maker named Craig Golightly (Jones) who wants his blaxploitation movie "Black Angus" made, but he needs the help of the local film board to get for shooting permits. He is denied these permits by the pretentious head of the film board. So he decides to disguise himself as an equally pretentious film critic named Vincent Dawn to get in nice with a local film club; which happens to be run by the head of the film board. Problem is that the members start to be murdered off one by one. And their deaths are particularly gruesome in nature. The club in the killer's cross hairs, Craig finds himself drawn into unraveling the murder plot. He must now avoid being labeled a suspect, secure his film permits, all the while suffering though the film clubs meetings. Especially Being John Malkovich night, where it takes the club eight hours to watch the film as they pause the movie every time something "symbolic" happens. To make things even more complicated he is entangled in a new romance with the wife of the head of the film board (played by Jone's then wife Jillian).
The gore effects are practical (which I like) but since this is a micro budget film, the particularly gruesome details like having a baseball bat shoved up a guy's ass wrapped in barb wire is not shown and left to your imagination. This film is also best appreciated by fans of the web series. If you are curious, check out a few episodes of his internet series at

If you are a fan (like I am), check it out. If not, then you should probably pass.
