I think all of the direct to video/dvd horror stuff should be disqualified, as the bulk of the genre falls into direct to video stuff. Also, the bulk of the genre is absolutely unwatchable crap. Put it this way- when the stuff that's "good enough to get released to theaters" is the SAW/Hostel crap, your genre sucks by definition.
do you want like the good american dtv stuff or foreign stuff that gets tossed onto Dimension Extreme which is released to theaters in foreign countries and then only here is it dtv?

If I recall correctly, they use kids as the prisoner's "eyes" when flying. The chopper pilots can't actually see anything.
Prisoners + kids. Hmmmmmmmm. Thankfully, any implied buggery occurs offscreen.
All that plus Malcolm McDowell, equals a film that is absolutely terrible but compelling.
This is absolutely prime borecast material.
It was directed by Roland Emmerich!
Synopsis
Kracker Jack’s the ghetto fairytale of five brothas who throw a house party in The Dirty south, despite previous mythology of a house-party killing spree. PLAYA (the singing ladies’ man), BLING (the rhyming DJ), SWOLE (the muscle), SPLIFF (the smoker), and CARLTON (the light-skin nerd) are shuffling flyers on campus, when Krackerjack (the wanna-be-a-brotha white boy) sweats the fellas about the party. A white boy beat down ensues as the boyz mud hole Krackerjack for the inquiry. Well day turns to night, and of course the party is jumpin’ like a fat girl on a trampoline. Everybody and their momma shows up, but this “killer” party soon turns deadly! Will anyone make it out alive? Is the party all she wrote, if the DJ takes a record to the throat?!! Can a brotha be choked, if he’s used to holding his breath from the weed smoke?!! Find out what really happens when “white bread” goes bad.

t tells the story of a group of intergalactic homosexual black men from the planet "Anus" who discover the presence of female creatures on planet Earth. Using guns which shoot deadly rays, they proceed to eliminate females one by one from Earth, which ensures them the ecstatic gratitude of the previously oppressed male population.[1] Before leaving the planet, they leave behind a "Gay Ambassador" to educate the Earthlings about their new way of life. Gayniggers from Outer Space begins as a black-and-white film, but later turns to color. According to Lindberg, this was a "dramatic special effect" to illustrate "the world being freed from vicious women."
Ricky 1 is a 1988 low-budget spoof film, parodying the first film in the Rocky series. The titular character, Ricky Wanero, is a male gigolo, stripper (The Italian Donkey), and fish market trainee[1] who sets out to beat the "Silver Shadow" (known throughout the film as "The Champ") in the boxing ring. His other adversaries include the Bolivian Bomber and the Mafia. It contains many sight gags, as well as slapstick comedy in the vein of Airplane!. The film never had a theatrical release, being a direct-to-video release. It's also possible that there are only a small number of VHS copies of the movie. As of September 12, 2006, the film has been re-released to DVD.
