Straight-to-DVD Delirium
STRAIGHT-TO-DVD DELIRIUM: The Fever Dreams Continue (1995-2005) A Hilariously Unhinged Journey Through Cinema's Digital Wasteland
Remember when Blockbuster's new release wall was packed with movies starring Steven Seagal sitting behind desks?
When Jean-Claude Van Damme tried to become a serious actor?
When CGI monsters looked like they were rendered on a Game Boy?
This book chronicles 22 gloriously terrible films from the straight-to-DVD era - that magical decade when digital technology made filmmaking cheaper but not necessarily better. From The Sweeper (C. Thomas Howell as a vigilante who leaves tiny brooms at crime scenes) to Leprechaun in the Hood (yes, really), each chapter dissects these cinematic disasters with loving detail.
What You'll Get:
- Detailed plot breakdowns of 22 wonderfully awful films
- "Behind the Madness" production stories
- Custom drinking games for each movie
- Bonus coverage of DVD-era legends like Dolph Lundgren and Eric Roberts
- Sharp, funny writing that celebrates these films' magnificent failures
Perfect for:
- B-movie enthusiasts and bad cinema connoisseurs
- Anyone who misses browsing video store shelves
- People who need convincing that The Room wasn't the worst movie ever made
This isn't just mockery - it's archaeology. These films represent a specific moment in cinema history when anyone could make a movie, even if they probably shouldn't have.
Warning: May cause uncontrollable urges to seek out Komodo vs. Cobra and Submerged.
"Life's too short to only watch good movies."
A hilarious dive into 22 straight-to-DVD disasters from 1995-2005, where Steven Seagal learned to act while sitting down and CGI monsters looked like screensavers.
