A bogus movie will make you laugh, cry, repulse with horror, bored, or want to go kick some ass.  While it may be true that a lot of bogus movies are essentially bad, many are enjoyable for their terribleness or ridiculousness.  A true connoisseur will appreciate all bogus movies for the distinct quality that makes each movie bogus and therefore fucking righteous. If you like Whitesnake music videos, then you’ll definitely be a fan of bogus movies.  A movie that’s so bad you laugh and watch the whole thing and ultimately realize it’s incredible?  That’s a bogus movie.

There are a lot of ways to spot a bogus movie.  Bogus movies usually have stupid titles.  If a movie title includes the word “blood,” “zombie(s),” or “ninja(s),” or, heaven forbid, more than one of these words, it’s probably a bogus movie.  Also, bogus movies often come in massive packages.  Bloodfist I-VIII, for example is a prime example of some genius director and movie studio combining their amazing market sense and pumping out sequel after sequel.  I also should mention that a lot of bogus movies bomb at the box office or don’t make it there in the first place. 

Bogus movies also usually have great cover art.  Cheesy computer graphics or absolutely epic illustrations grace the covers of many of the finest bogus movies ever made. Expect to find titles in fonts available in Word Art.  Also, cheesy tag lines are an absolute must for any bogus movie.  As for actual DVD discs and menus and stuff, expect simple type on the disc itself (no picture, and if there is one a really corny one) and really bad DVD menus with very few special features.  Bogus movie designers do this intentionally to get rid of all the frills that might distract you from the work of art that is a bogus movie…

Lastly, a good way to find a bogus movie is to look for movies that get awful reviews, like two stars or below on a five star rating system or four stars or below on a ten star rating system.  “Why would I want to watch a movie that was so badly reviewed?” you may ask/whine.  Because parents just don’t understand, stupid.  All movie reviewers (except me) are totally full of crap and don’t recognize beauty and glory even when it roundhouse kicks them to the face for 90 minutes in a Vin Diesel masterpiece.

A word of caution about this site –I don’t review many intentionally bogus movies.  That leaves out a lot of great movies that are bogus as hell, but I feel like with this site I’m aiming for the works of genius that fell into bogus fame by accident.
