The Day Time Ended (1980)
Despite having a decent cast and some impressive visual effects, The Day Time Ended is a somewhat incomprehensible though ambitious mess.
Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter (1994)
Much like the last film, Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter is a solidly entertaining entry despite a noticeable drop in quality.
Intruder (1989)
With its gruesomely over-the-top gore effects, solid direction, and a decent cast, Intruder is an underrated slasher gem.
Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1993)
For everything that the title promises, Dollman vs. Demonic Toys doesn’t quite live up to whatever potential it could’ve had.
Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn (1983)
Though derivative of better films, Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn works as a fun sci-fi adventure on its own.
The Pit and the Pendulum (1991)
Though tonally inconsistent at times, The Pit and the Pendulum works thanks to a stellar cast, impressive direction, and a riveting story.
The Caller (1987)
With two solid performances, stellar direction, and a story that keeps you guessing, The Caller is an underrated gem in Empire’s catalog.
Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm (1998)
Lacking the qualities that made the first three films work, Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm has subpar effects, lackluster acting, and a weak story.
Ghost Warrior (1984)
Though light on story and not as action-packed as one might hope, Ghost Warrior is still an interesting gem in Empire Pictures’ catalog.
Trancers 4: Jack of Swords (1994)
Aside from a decent Tim Thomerson performance, Trancers 4: Jack of Swords is a steep decline from the first three entries.
