Predator – Quickie Review

Slam-bang, testosterone-filled sci-fi actioner. Easily one of Arnie’s best for action, extreme violence and cheesy one-liners. Stellar creature make-up and effects. It’s sad that its legacy has been somewhat tainted by lesser sequels and spin-offs.

Pet Sematary II – Quickie Review

I only ever found the original film passable at best. This is a pretty weak follow-up. Edward Furlong is reliably awful. More gore than the first, but it’s also guilty of having more bore. There is only one reason to ever watch this film. The inspired and amusing performance of Clancy Brown.

Piranha Part Two: The Spawning – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 30 / Film #4

This is the strangest episode of River Monsters I have ever seen. Flying piranhas, really? If this movie wasn’t based on a true story, I’d be calling bullshit. This film is so bad, I almost walked out of the screening… in my own house.

Well crafted, very suspenseful script with plenty of clever surprises. Perkins is sublime once again as Norman Bates who may or not be slipping back …

Peeping Tom – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 25 / Film #1

A young man lives his life through the lens of a camera, stalks women and then films their deaths to capture their terror. This movie floored me. A intriguing character study of a introverted voyeur with a tortured upbringing. Complications arise when he grows feelings for a potential subject for one of his films. An …
