A deep sea mining crew encounters a creature derived from a genetic experiment and it quickly disrupts their mission and the rampant sexual harassment occurring on the rig. This has B-movie written all over it, but it has first class effects and makeup. Creature created by the late Stan Winston. A great popcorn flick.
During a school prank, a young boy is visited by the ghost of a murdered girl which leads to continual hauntings and the boy’s life being in danger from the girl’s killer. A nice little ghost story. Some suspense, but it never really succeeds at maintaining that tone since the script drops humour in here …
Lady In White – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 18 / Film #1 Read More »
I had heard decent things, but I didn’t see what all the fuss was about. Just your run of the mill, ghost story, haunted past, possession type flick. Script seems to go all over the place and at times it’s hard to figure out what it’s trying to tell you. Performances fall flat and so …
Lovely Molly – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 5 / Film #2 Read More »

Well paced in between attacks, and it all builds to a thrilling, cleverly setup climax. Great transformation effects. Also, I literally did a fist pump when Tom Noonan appeared on screen. Love …

“I like how he teases other cats with his sushi.”
This was a recent rewatch and sadly, it has diminished a bit for me. The Frog Brothers used to be great comic relief. Now I just find them annoying. There still some gore, but there wasn’t as many onscreen deaths as I remembered. However, the movie does feature an ’80s beach party led by a …
