HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1982). Probably, more than any other version, this shows just how precarious life could be in 1400's Paris (Dirt, Disease, Religious subterfuge). Leslie-Anne Down is gorgeous as Esmerelda and Derek Jacobi shines as the obsessed Priest, but it's really Quasimodo who is supposed to be the main subject of interest and sadly, Anthony Hopkins just doesn't cut it. Makeup isn't all that great and it just seems He is rehashing Charles Laughton's 1939 characterization. Also, a Suck Ass ending.
Worth a look if You like the story, but the Laughton version is the one to check out. Small roles by Robert Powell (ASYLUM) and Kenny Baker *R2D2 himself!). **1/2 |

THE BEAST IN THE CELLAR 1970
2 old biddies come to terms with their past as the village they live near is being terrorised by a beastly killer. Quite charming, really. |

FRIGHT NIGHT (1985). Watched this yesterday and all of this recent talk of it! Still think this is a fantastic film and one I can watch constantly. The sequel was alright, but nothing spectacular and maybe it's just the Curmudgeon in me, but could not abide the 2010 (?) remake.
Fond memories of seeing this the first time...had gotten married a few months back and living with In-Laws waiting for Mobile home to be ready. Thought it would be a week at most, but turned out to be two very long months::sad::, but that's another story. Saw it at a matinee and pretty full house. We all were enjoying it, with many laughs, but the "Strangers in the Night" moment all but brought the house down and I knew I would really like this. One of my first VHS and love the DVD, but really wish there was a commentary on it-sure it would be interesting. Still and always ***** |

Nekromantik (1987)
I.M.D.B. A street sweeper who cleans up after grisly accidents brings home a full corpse for him and his wife to enjoy sexually, but is dismayed to see that his wife prefers the corpse over him. Not much to say about it really. Dumb, low budget movie. Only real appeal is the ridiculousness of it. 3/10 https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...82,268_AL_.jpg |

The Stone Tape was a bit stodgy but alright. |

Reaction to Fright Night (1985)
When I watched this movie, I wished the young hero would change his facial expression once in a while. He goes through the whole movie looking like he has a mild headache.
I also thought "Even if the vampire wins the battle, hasn't he kind of blown his cover in this town?" |

Fight for Your Life looks interesting to me. Looks like it's up your alley, but also looks like you weren't thrilled with it?.... |

THE SEVERED ARM (1973). A group of friends go spelunking and have to resort to drastic measures for survival after a cave in and then the Karmic effects afterwards. Obviously low budget (with many of the interiors having a Motel 6 vibe) with a too languid pace, there are a few genuinely frightening moments, a creepy synth score and a pretty damn fine ending.
Cast includes Deborah Walley (many AIP Beach movies, believe this was her last film), Paul Carr (TV Star Trek, THE BAT PEOPLE), John Crawford (TV Star Trek, THE ENFORCER) and Marvin Kaplan (who did some writing for THE ADDAMS FAMILY). *** |
