MONSTER DOG (1985). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOLIE RS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> After releasing DADA and being dropped from Warner Brothers, Alice Cooper cleaned himself up and took a few years off before releasing CONSTRICTOR in 1986. really cheesy film has Coop playing Vince (!!, his real name) Raven, a big rock star returning to his home after many years to film a video.
Of course, there are setbacks to this, especially violent townspeople (who look like they could be in Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone westerns!) convinced Vince has the "Family Curse". Gets pretty violent towards the end with Alice having many of his Stage faces when he is commiting meyhem. Pretty awful throughout, in particular the title character, although if You are a Cooper fan, you should check it out. At any rate, it's a lot better than KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK, not that's any real consolation. There are two songs in the film; "See Me in the Mirror" is nothing great (although he does have the 1981 SPECIAL FORCES LOOK), but "Indentity Criseses" which opens and closes the film is actually pretty damn good and sounds much like Iggy pop. Both ended up on THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF ALICE COOPER boxset. ** |

MANIAC (1980).>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOLIERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>.
Pretty sure I reviewed this earlier, but after seeing the photo from Deadbeat At Dawn's last post, decided to watch it again. When dating, my Wife had special condemnation for this (similar to the Gallery of Outrage in the Special Features) telling Me how She wanted to "...shower when it was over" and after ten minutes as well, whereupon I asked her if She didn't like it, why not just leave and see something else? Quite grim and squalid, but well made and really good Savini work, even if he all but disowns it these days. Noticed this past viewing how Convincing the Nurse in the Subway (I think the actress is Kelly Piper, not 100%) is in showing her absolute terror while hiding in the bathroom stall..you can almost smell her sweat. Almost as frightening is seeing Porn vet Sharon Mitchell as a Nurse (offering Kelly a ride home, which she should have took)-after watching the deviants SM played in the XXX trenches, just wonder what kind of "care" she would show a patient after visiting hours? ***1/2 |
