Trash is not necessarily a bad thing in a movie. Of course there are irredeemably trashy movies which are just plain awful, but then there are the transcendental trashy movies produced by directors such as Ed Wood, Doris Wishman, John Waters, H G Lewis and Troma. These directors manage to capture a weird quirk or a sincere passion for film making which is infectious, despite their shoddiness. Such films are a joy for fans of low rent cinema.
I have listed below nine trash masterpieces which we should kneel before like Magi, such is their entertainment value.
9. Come Play With Me (1977)
A British entry into the trash stakes, I used to find this film quite repellant, but I found my copy of Come Play With Me (which I got on a collect the coupons special from the Daily Sport!) the other day and I watched it and reappraised it. I actually found it quite entertaining.

The first trailer for George Blumetti and Maurice Kelly's 2084 is available. In this clip the West Nile virus has returned and citizens must stay in their houses or risk death. But what happens when the economy is immobilized and food stocks dwindle? This is the creative vision of 2084 and post-apocalyptic fans can get a taste for the film past the break. The synopsis for 2084: "Not much left...

We've just been handed an all new HD trailer for post-apocalyptic thriller 2084 and I must say this little indie is looking better and better. I love the photography and sets and the acting is top notch.
2084 is co-written and co-directed by George Blumetti and Maurice Kelly and it stars Billy West, Betsy Baker, Time Winter (good name), Matthew Alan, Jaimi Paige, Claire Dodin, Chard Hayward, Adam Gray-Hayward, Hart Boykin, Gerald Castillo, and Tamiko Whitsett.
Synopsis:
Not much left since the world died. That's what they called it the day the virus took over and people went inside, never to leave their homes again. Soon after that, the last of the food was gone, the last drop of gas was used up, the government collapsed. Chaos... on a global scale.
Trailer after the break.

A very cynical narrator states that "everyone is about to die" in this first teaser trailer for 2084. 2084 is a co-partnered film between George Blumetti and Maurice Kelly and this trailer gives a hint of a post-apocalyptic world of tomorrow. Devastated by a global virus the characters scavenge to stay alive in a diseased world. Have a look at some of the characters in the film from this first teaser, which stars Billy West, Betsy Baker, Time Winters, and Matthew Alan. Also, for those interested an interview with Maurice Kelly is available here:

Updated: with higher quality video.
We've been following production on this indie Pa number for quite a while. We brought you the very first stills and poster and now Fangoria have premiered the first footage for the project.

Back in May Fangoria brought you some exclusive images from a post-apocalyptic indie called '2084', a film "about a viral pandemic that forces everyone to remain indoors, quarantined inside their apartments for decades, and the drama that unfolds over a tense, some would say brutal, five week period as they search for salvation and a way out". The impressive imagery kept the film on the radar while it was deep into post-production, and now Fango's got your first look at the teaser for the film, which was "Troop Funded" by Spc Tom Kim and his unit, all deployed in Iraq at the time of the film's production. 2084 was co-written and co-directed by George Blumetti and Maurice Kelly, who also produced through their Kelly-Blumetti Entertainment Group.
