Foreign Language Schlock
Looking for some good foreign language slock films. I feel like I'm running out of English language ones.

Foreign films are difficult to find, especially if they are bad. If you can get hold of them, any of the following might be worth a try:
Immortal Enemy (Thailand)
Angel of the Night (Denmark)
Vampiro (not even really foreign language; some sort of US-Latino vibe thing; mostly English, but with occasional Spanish dialogue that no-one could be bothered to put subtitles to....)
.
Straddling the line between "cult status" and "crap" are Vampyros Lesbos and Daughters of Darkness, but (in my memory) the latter may be too boring to qualify for "so-bda-it's-good"-viewing.

Thank you so much! I'll definitely check these out. I know I have kind of strange tastes, but you are an absolute lifesaver!

'Schlock' means poor quality.
'Good schlock' just leaves me confused.
Could you give us more of an idea what you are looking for?
Schlock is a genre which describes movies that are so bad they're good. Sets obviously made of cardboard, shitty special effects, and bad scripts make all my favorite movies. I generally like schlock horror best, but am really cool with any subgenre.
Well - not foreign - but have you seen The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra? It is a schlock homage/spoof of schlock Sci-Fi/Horror - and quite funny - despite the fact that the humor is intentional. They use their own micro-budget to help them make fun of micro-budget movies in general - it is quite well done.
