I'm pretty sure all my descriptions are too vague and useless. I don't really like writing about movies, but I hope I'm making at least some of these sound appealing and worth checking out.

Info and Comments:
Massacre at Central High is about a transfer student killing all the bullies at a high school to protect all the nerdy kids, but then the nerdy kids end up becoming bullies themselves, so he has to kill them too. Demented is about a woman who gets gang-raped, and eventually goes crazy and starts killing people. Child Bride is an early exploitation film about the immorality of fucking young girls, which it demonstrates by gratuitously showing a 12 year old girl getting naked and going swimming.
Female Prisoner #701 Scorpion: Beast Stable is about Meiko Kaji fucking shit up, and it's the third and best entry in the Scorpion series. Coonskin is a blaxploitation semi-parody that is mostly animated. The opening song is really great. Poor White Trash Part 2 is about sleazy backwoods people doing really sleazy things. Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion is the first in the Scorpion series, and it's a women-in-prison movie, and Meiko Kaji is great.
Ginger is about a woman who becomes a spy to infiltrate a drug & prostitution ring, and it's super fucking sleazy, and there's an amazing catfight scene, and I still haven't seen the sequels. Wild Beasts is about animals accidentally drinking PCP and breaking out of the zoo and attacking people. Supposedly, real animals were killed on camera in the making of this movie, but aside from a few rats, that's clearly not true because we don't actually see any animals killed and I assume they wouldn't go through all that trouble just to cut it out of the movie. Abby is a blaxploitation ripoff of The Exorcist, and the lead is amazing.
