Jeepers Creepers – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 6 / Film #3
A better than most slasher film featuring an unstoppable, supernatural-like mass murderer. Creative back story for the killer and for his reasons to kill. Multi-layered and believable performances from the likable leads. Features some graphic set pieces and deaths. Great creature design.
Quiet Ones, The – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 6 / Film #2
A supernatural thriller about a professor trying to use science to cure a patient of possession. Attempted jump scares and not thoroughly explained science hinders this movie from being anything special. It looks pretty, but that’s about it.
Patrick (1978) – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 6 / Film #1
A comatose patient falls for his new nurse and when he’s overcome with jealously about her personal life, his psychokinetic powers take over. A part of the Ozploitation movement of the 1970s, this low-key psychological horror really packs a punch. A nice little gem if you can find it.
F/X – Quickie Review
Above average ’80s action thriller about a special effects expert who is hired by the FBI to fake the death of a mob boss. Steady action with plenty of twists and laughs along the way. The main complaint would be the F/X expert’s partner is an appalling actress. I wanted to slap her repeatedly. Added …

Frankenstein’s Army – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 5 / Film #6
This movie is crazy and it’s so over the top with its insanity that it goes way beyond camp. Russian soldiers are sent on a fake rescue mission which turns out to be a mission to capture Dr. Frankenstein who is creating a hybrid Nazi army. The creatures are half human, half BattleBot. Each one …

Dead Shadows – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 5 / Film #5
Gleefully violent and tremendously bizarre French Sci-Fi/Horror about a doomsday comet approaching earth resulting in human aggression followed by mutation. Movie doesn’t start moving until the halfway point when there is a 100% certified, call to your friends, WTF moment and then shit gets real. A Scream Factory release so it has automatic street cred.
All Cheerleaders Die – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 5 / Film #4
I went in thinking this was going to be your typical teen slasher film, but I was pleasantly surprised that turned out to be something even better. It’s advertised as a horror-comedy, but I don’t remember laughing at all. It matters not. Where it lacks in funny, it makes up for with pure fun. And …
