Slumber Party Massacre, The – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 25 / Film #3 Read More »
It had been a long time since I’d last seen this film, and it’s even better than I remember. I’ve watched so much crap this month, it’s so refreshing when story, special effects, acting and everything else just work together so symbiotically. Near perfection. I just can’t believe how much this movie was inspired by …
Thing, The (1982) – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 24 / Film #3 Read More »
This has the Fulci gore, sleaze and cinematography you know and love, but this one just didn’t grab me story wise. And a killer who impersonates a duck? I mean, c’mon. Just too hoaky for me.
When an obsessed killer is unsuccessful with his latest victim, he has to make further attempts while she is in recovery at the hospital. Michael Ironside is at his creepiest in this tension filled Canadian exploitation film from the early ’80s. Genre classic which also features Bill Shatner!
One of the first horror I saw as a kid, and it’s still one of my favourites. It’s still as gloriously gory as ever, it still manages to give me the willies in some places and I don’t get creeped out that easily. The special effects have maintained their impact and I actually get and …
If you’re reading this, then you already know why every teenage boy of the ’80s watched this movie, but it actually turned out to be quite funny. It’s the film equivalent of Hooters. Everyone knows why men go there, but they can use the delicious wings as a reason for going. It’s still hard to …
Awesome, over the top, ’80s creature feature. Outstanding and utterly gruesome practical effects especially during the transformation scenes. Plenty of gore and dark humor and better performances than you’d expect in a genre film. It may be cheesy, but I love cheese. Nostalgic fun.
When I was a kid, this was it. This was the movie that scared the shit out of me. And to this day, I still get a little apprehensive when I go to re-watch it. It ends up not having the same effect, but those past memories are ever present. I saw this movie when …
