Three Bad Girls Who Find a Gun and Become Vampires [2025]
<=>"It could happen anywhere! It could happen to any girl!"



The most recent addition to the Mihmiverse. I hope it is not the last!

Christopher Mihm apparently remembers fondly the B-movies his father used to watch and decided to create more movies of that kind. They are very low-budget. An examination of the credits shows each was created by many of the same relatively small number of people who were not movie professionals...and many have the last name "Mihm".

The movies don't try to hide that they are amateur, low-budget, and strange but rather flaunt it. They are fun!

(And are surprisingly well-made and polished...all things considered!)

Beware: There were a couple of the films I was not too fond of but not because of their "quality" but because of their genre...B-movies come in more than one genre, even in the Mihmiverse. But if you watch them I think you'll likely remember them fondly.

My Mihmiverse reviews start here.

Queer.

Circa 1950's. Gay American expat, heroin addict, and alcoholic, William Lee is prowling Mexico City, desperately seeking sexual encounters, when in fact he's desperate for human connection. He tries to come off as cool and funny, but instead looks awkward and needy. And then he becomes infatuated with a bi-curious but straight man named Eugene Alerton. Believing Alerton will fulfill his physical and emotional needs, he convinces the younger man to accompany him on a trip to Ecuador, where he believes he can find and use a mysterious drug called Yage, which he thinks will give him telepathic abilities. On the trip, he succumbs to withdraw symptoms, before finally finding the mythic Yage. The Yage experience with Allerton is everything he wanted, but in the end is only illusionary.
A real treat for any William Burroughs fan who has read his semi-autobiographical novella, Queer. While there had been some additions in the theatrical version, it stays pretty close to the content, and especially the spirit, of the book. Very much recommended.

Elvis (2022 biopic about Elvis Presley starring Austin Butler as Elvis, Tom Hanks as Tom Parker under the direction of Baz Lurhmann)
