Now that summer has arrived, and finals are mostly over, the time for Netflix binge-watching has begun. We all have been adding things to our "lists" on Netflix all semester, things we want to watch once we have free time. Luckily, Netflix has a wide array of choices for just about everyone. I myself have already started watching a few shows that I have been waiting to watch. However, I made a beautiful discovery while searching through Netflix. One of my favorite guilty pleasures is low-budget movies on the Sci-Fi channel. I love the cheesiness of the plots, writing and effects played out with very poor acting. Luckily for me, Netflix has quite a few. If you're like me and love a good B-horror, low budget Sci-Fi channel movie to laugh at, take a look at this list and see what Netflix has to offer you!
1. "Sharknado"
"When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, nature's deadliest killer rules sea, land, and air as thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace." This is probably the best Sci-Fi channel movie available on Netflix. It lives up to the hype completely. Simultaneously the worst and best movie you have ever seen.
2. "Sharknado 2: The Second One"
"When Fin and April are on their way to New York, a category 7 hurricane spawns heavy rain, winds, storm surges and deadly Sharknadoes. And it's up to Fin and April to save the Big Apple from total devastation." The surviving characters from the first "Sharknado" movie are back and ready to rock again. Step aside "Godfather Part II", this is the new best sequel ever made.
3. "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!"
"A monstrous tornado unleashes ravenous sharks from Washington, D.C., all the way down to Orlando, Florida." The third installment of the "Sharknado" movies does not disappoint. Plenty of cheesy, flying shark action to tithe you over until the release of "Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens," premiering July, 31st.
4. "Avalanche Sharks"
"Avalanche Sharks tells the story of a bikini contest that turns into a horrifying affair when it is hit by a shark avalanche." This summary does not do this movie justice. A ski resort is under attack by not only sharks...but shark-spirits that have been summoned by vengeful ancient Native Americans. I can't stress enough how delightfully terrible this movie is.
5. "3-Headed Shark Attack"
"As a mutated, three-headed, great white shark eats its way from one end of the ship to the next, the passengers have to fight the deadly predator using anything they can find." As if this summary wasn't enough, just imagine this: Danny Trejo fighting a three-headed shark. You're welcome.
6. "Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark"
"A new mega shark threatens to destroy humanity. The government creates an exact robotic copy of the shark, either equal to or greater than the original. Now they must fight to the death while people and whole cities get in the way." Wow.
7. "Spiders"
"After a Soviet space station crashes into a New York City subway tunnel, a species of venomous spiders is discovered, and soon they mutate to gigantic proportions and wreak havoc on the city." Normally, anything with spiders is an automatic hard pass with me, but I mean, come on. How can you not love horrible CGI spiders desperately trying to prove themselves as monsters worthy enough to be a legitimate movie?
8. "Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs"
"After an accidental explosion at a local mine, dinosaurs emerge from the rubble to terrorize a small western town. Now, a group of gunslingers must defend their home if anyone is going to survive in a battle of cowboys versus dinosaurs." I can't wait to watch this. I want to meet the "genius" responsible for this movie. I love this with every fiber of my being. I'm sure you will too.
