It’s the start of a new month, and that means that most of the streaming services have seen a vast influx of new titles over the past few days – a total well into three digits. You can certainly scroll past my comments about streaming in order to get to the sites you frequent.
A couple of weeks ago, I went into detail on a few things that Netflix could do in order to promote their exclusive independent films, but Netflix and its treatment of their original content is just one of many complexities in need of some discussion as streaming moves past its wild west infancy and into something that starts to solidify in terms of format, interface, promotion and price range. So I’d like to use this column as a way to examine the way streaming services work or, in some cases, don’t really work to their (and our) best advantage.
The first thing I’d like to address is the “Free Trial Period” given by most subscription-based streaming platforms. The “Free Trial Period” is a remnant of Netflix’s DVD days, when a user, unfamiliar with how the process worked, could sign up for 2 weeks free before getting charged. It was a great introductory idea, and while plenty of users gamed the system with multiple e-mail addresses, it, no doubt, brought a lot of users to the company.
However, it’s now several years later, and the “Free Trial Period” is more of a curse than a blessing. It’s still offered by most subscription-based platforms, and consumers are certainly inclined to hand over their credit card information in order to test the service, but who among us can honestly say that we’ve never run over our “free trial” time and found our credit card charged for the next month of service? Granted, this is our own fault – we knew the risks and our own likelihood to forget to cancel when we took the trial – but it’s hard not to feel, deep inside, that the streaming company wasn’t just using the “free trial” as a way to play the odds on getting at least a month’s worth of actual subscription dues out of us.
The worst part of it is that the “free trial period” is relatively useless at this point in time. The purpose of a free trial isn’t to sample the actual contents of the service – for most streaming platforms, we can see the content they have without having to log in – it’s to make sure that we’ll be comfortable enough with their interface in order to use it often enough to justify the subscription costs.
Ideally, then, there should be no reason to have a “Free Trial Period” at all, but instead, allow the user to create a “basic” account without any type of credit card. This account would be able to log into the system and play a selection of 1-2 movies in order to test out the system on their technology, and do little else. The end goal of the free trial – testing out the system and having an understanding of its quality and functional use – would then be reached without any commitment on the part of the customer and with no potential backlash toward the company. Heck, signing up for an account, even sans credit card, would allow the platform to send e-mail updates on the service even if the client never paid for a subscription. (Midnight Pulp, covered below, uses something close to this sort of technique, but with a larger volume of free content.)
I state this as an option under the assumption that a potential customer’s use of the “Free Trial Period” for a subscription service is used in order to try out the system rather than to stream as much as possible within a short period of time (which, while perfectly doable, seems like a lot of effort), but I’d be curious to see what others think. Feel free to respond to me in the comments below, or on Twitter or Facebook!
Anyway, enough of my jibber-jabber. On to the movies!

HBO GO
I’d been missing mentioning HBO GO the last few weeks, but that’s mostly because they only add content on a monthly basis, save for weekly premieres. This week’s new release is VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN, but new catalog titles include SCREAM 2 and 3, SIN CITY, NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, Vin Diesel in BABYLON A.D., Ed Harris in the western APPALOOSA, John Carpenter’s VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED remake, Steven Seagal getting environmental in ON DEADLY GROUND, Steve Martin in THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS, the musical biopic NOTORIOUS, Bill Murray’s underrated QUICK CHANGE, the horror pic PERKINS’ 14, Laurence Fishburne in BIKER BOYZ, Jeffrey Jones and Teri Garr in MOM AND DAD SAVE THE WORLD and a number of Clint Eastwood classics, including THE EIGER SANCTION, JOE KIDD, HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER, and THE BEGUILED.

Troma Now
Another service that I’m covering for the first time comes from Troma, which allows you all the ridiculous debauchery you desire for a mere $4.99 a month. (And Troma’s picked up a lot more than TOXIC AVENGER flicks, so you’re bound to find something of note.) Check them out here.
Among their latest titles are MOONSHINE MEAT MARKET MAYHEM (a recent post-apocalypse film shot under the title CANCER DANCER), the paranormal adventure ARC OF METHUL (told via still images, LA JETEE style), the iPad-shot STANDARDS OF LIVING, 2003’s Japanese pink Eiga film NINJA PUSSYCAT, Joseph Merhi’s 1988 THE GLASS JUNGLE and L.A.

Kabukiman television series, and the mysterious STREET BEAT, which is promoted on the site with the description, “I’ll level with you, I can’t find a damn thing on this movie.” Neither could I. Someone watch it and report back.
Exploitation.tv
New to the service is another film from “Lawrence Talbot,” the 1984 hardcore “instructional” flick TURN ON WITH KELLY NICHOLS. Kelly Nichols stars. As herself.

New titles on Screambox include Lucio Fulci’s CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD and the Sweden-lensed 2010 hotel horror flick INSANE.

Moving back to the ‘80s, in terms of lesser-known genre films, we’ve got Lee Van Cleef and Margaux Hemingway in 1984’s KILLING MACHINE, Reb Brown in Bruno Mattei’s 1987 STRIKE COMMANDO, the 1981 Christian “one world” conspiracy thriller EARLY WARNING with Alvy Moore and George “Buck” Flower (!), Fred Williamson in WARRIORS OF THE WASTELAND and THE MESSENGER (the latter directed by Williamson), Julie Hagerty in Amos Kollek’s 1985 GOODBYE NEW YORK, Lamberto Bava’s DEVILFISH, Shannon Tweed and Karen Mistal in 1989’s CANNIBAL WOMEN IN THE AVOCADO JUNGLE OF DEATH, Andrew Stevens and John Rhys-Davies in the Zimbabwe-shot TUSKS, Cirio Santiago’s 1988 THE EXPENDABLES and Karen Young in the obscure 1984 rape/revenge film HANDGUN.
If you’re feeling ‘80s, but not quite as adventurous, Prime also now offers A CHRISTMAS STORY, RACE FOR YOUR LIFE, CHARLIE BROWN, Rob Lowe and James Spader in the underrated thriller BAD INFLUENCE, Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman in NO WAY OUT, and John Candy and Steve Martin in PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES.
Oddities from the ‘70s include Charles B. Pierce’s 1974 moonshiner comedy BOOTLEGGERS with Paul Koslo, the 1979 Cleopatra Wong sequel DEVIL’S THREE (aka MEAN BUSINESS) from the Philippines, Dennis Christopher as a fantastic psycho in 1980’s FADE TO BLACK, John Daniels in the Mike White-recommended BLACK SHAMPOO, Harvey Keitel in Bertrand Tavernier’s 1980 sci-fi film DEATH WATCH, the 1978 prison drama ON THE YARD with John Heard, 1975’s crime pic DIAMOND HUNTERS (aka THE KINGFISHER CAPER) with David McCallum and Hayley Mills, Hy Pyke and some other actors in 1978’s SLITHIS, black Vietnam vets facing off against the Klan in 1976’s BROTHERHOOD OF DEATH, Don Johnson in L.Q.

Plus, the, er, holocaust-as-comedy documentary (that sounds terrible, but it looks interesting) THE LAST LAUGH featuring Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Gilbert Gottfried and Sarah Silverman.
Lastly, but by no means leastly, there are a few classic titles as well: GONE WITH THE WIND, THE WIZARD OF OZ, 1953’s ARROWHEAD with Charlton Heston and Jack Palance, 1958’s flesh-eating tree flick THE WOMAN EATER, 1940’s THE HOUSE ACROSS THE BAY with George Raft and Joan Bennett, Clint Eastwood in A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, Mickey Spillane as Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer in 1963’s THE GIRL HUNTERS, and the 1964 western LAW OF THE LAWLESS.
Basically, if you can’t find anything worth watching, you may be a bit picky.
