WHY BAD MONSTER MOVIES ARE GOOD MONSTER MOVIES

As sure as the moon rises, the film industry will keep cranking out so-called "B-movies". The "B" is usually referred to -- especially with monster movies -- as "Bad", but you won't catch film studios and distributors thinking twice -- it hasn't stopped them since Roger Corman perfected the art form way back in the 1950's.

In the December, 2011 issue of TOTAL FILM magazine, a writer tries to explain the phenomenon -- why these film are made . . . and why we love them so much, framed in the context of the soon-to-be-released PIRANHA 3DD, the sequal of the movie that used more gallons of blood (and possibly on more cleavage) than any other film before it.
