  • Good movies on Amazon Prime?

    Does anyone know of any good horror, exploitation, asian, etc movies streaming on Amazon prime? I recently got a smart TV and want to see what's out there. Thanks!

    I'd be interested in getting a rundown of basically whats out there as well. On the Australian version of Amazon Prime there's sweet fuck all. But I've got an American facebook who is always posting about how he is watching the likes of The Blood Spattered Bride or Female Convict Scorpion Jailhouse 41 etc on prime (so I know those two are there for a start). Without setting up a VPN though there's no way to even see the catalogue so I'd be interested to know how deep it goes. Seems like a hell of a service for the cost.

      Cinema Epoch's Channel has a LOT of Code Red stuff. Not all of it is good, mind you, but quite a bit of it is.
      Rock! Shock! Pop!

        Channel? Ah so people actually have channels and are uploading the movies they own the rights to rather than Prime being a Netflix style service as it is here? That makes sense. I was wondering why Amazon would be buying rights to such obscure stuff. Are all these individual chanbnels covered by the monthly fee or do you have to pay for them seperately?

          They're all covered under your Prime membership (which we buy yearly mainly for the free shipping - but the streaming is a nice perk).

            And I guess it's not so much a channel as it is just a bunch of random movies sort of scattered about. I guess in that sense I misspoke, but the fact remains that via Cinema Epoch Code Red has made a LOT of titles available.

              A LOT of great cult titles on Amazon Prime, including select Crown and Corman/Shout Factory titles. I use this resource to keep up with what's new:

              Recent watches that blew my mind: The Suckling, Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trickbaby, Beach Girls and See No Evil2

                I searched on Amazon a bit last night and I noticed almost all of the Vinegar Syndrome stuff is on there (except the porn stuff of course). There's also a ton of decent horror stuff and some Jess Franco stuff too. I'm not sure about pq, but it's still cool to have.

                  I can only comment on Prime UK, but there's some great stuff on there. Tons of Italian horror/ spaghetti westerns/ mafia movies/ Code Red/ Rifftrax/ Shaw Brothers/ 50's and 60's horror and sci-fi etc. Some of them just appear to be ancient VHS masters, but I'm not complaining at that price. I used to subscribe to the Full Moon channel as well but exhausted that pretty quickly. For movies only, this thrashes Netflix UK in my opinion, which is great for TV, but is so mainstream in terms of movies. What other streaming service has Demon Witch Child?!

                    I second agent999's comments; in my case for Amazon US.

                    Amazon kicks Netflix's ass when it comes to movies, specifically when it comes to the kinds of cult/genre films discussed here at R!S!P!.

                      The same here. I suppose we have almost the same output as UK, but it is b-Movie heaven. Like every PM Entertainment Group film and a bunch of great 70s b-Movies, and quite a bit of eurocrime.

                        Pah! I wanna be in B movie heaven! I'm paying for Prime as well and I'm certainly a long way from it. I wonder if Amazon is going to make the movies available in Oz at any point? It's bad enough that in a couple weeks they'll be banning Australians from accessing the US and other international amazon stores but I'm feeling particularly robbed over this prime thing.

                          One specific recommendation of mine is Killbillies. Despite the name, the horror unfolds in rural eastern Europe. It rolls along quite nicely, with lots of action and violence. It's a good choice if you are stuck in a hotel room or are at loose ends. Without Amazon Prime, I'm sure I would have never seen it.
