Galaxy Of Terror (1981) Ultra gory Roger Corman sci-fi horror cheesefest. I did actually like this a lot more than I expected to. It is very confusing at times but things make sense as it progresses and as the death scenes get more bizarre and warped. These are very very good but also despite the cheesiness of the setting, characters, dialogue there is still an oppressive atmosphere with some surprisingly majestic set pieces for such a low budget production. There are a lot of familiar horror fan friendly faces here-Sid Haig and Robert Englund to name a couple but there's a few others too. It does even feel rewarding while you unravel what is actually going on but the messy delivery may not suit everyone as will the frustrating lack of clarity some scenes possess as you have piece it all together in a weird retrogressive way that for me means I will enjoy watching this again :)

Banshee!!!- Absolutely awful. Definitely a Chiller channel movie.

Horror High- It looked like a class project for a group in high school. Oh, Charisma Carpenter, how you have fallen.

It was alright.

Never really picked up the pace tho, and it bugged me a little i never found out if it was all real or not and if not then how the hell he did it. At least we saw that in "The Prestige".
I felt the same way about The Illusionist

I think it was called "Haunted High" but it was crap. Charisma Carpenter was actually listed as a main actress on the TV info strip. Without spoiling it, her appearance is the very definition of being there to pick up a check. I've noticed her in a few Lifetime shows and another Syfy movie before "Haunted High." But she should have passed on this.

Oops, you're right on all counts! She was in it for what, 2 minutes?

I liked it alot - the trailer was a bit misleading (made the main character look like a thick country cop rather than a funny sarcastic bastard)
