Finally got around to see this movie. And I'm actually glad the first time I watched was as a "grown up" person (I'm in my early thirties).
Movie itself, some things didn't make a lot of sense, one or more continuity errors, but it was great anyway.
The cast, over the top acting, eighties explosions,...

For some reason I link the exploding head to Dumb & Dumber's most annoying sound in the world.

Spookies (1986) Not bad. It kept you guessing and surprised by what it threw at you, you really didn't know what was going to happen next as the film goes on. What it lacked in cohesion it made up for with variety there were some great "spookies".

SPOOKIES is a favourite of mine. I loved the soundtrack(of sorts) especially the intro. Just when you'd think it couldn't get any stranger...it did. Great fun.

Yeah it was a fun and decent film. You're right it did get very strange but it was ok I enjoyed it.

The Amityville Horror (1979)

Chopping Mall (1986)
Quite enjoyed this one. Much better than I expected.
The soundtrack reminded me of old videogames.

HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS (1970)-They really cram a couple of years into 90 minutes and really more for fans of the TV series. However, it's a lot more bloody and violent than the show, playing out much of the time like a Hammer film from the period. Still miles above the horrible Tim Burton misfire. ***1/2

I recommend you also watch Night of Dark Shadows. House is my favorite, but Night is good, too.

Monkey Shines
Good movie.
I recognised Bates from Californication in the lead role.

Reminds me, I still haven't seen Shakma. Worth it?

Monkey Shines is OK, a little silly though.

Shakma is great, a lot better than Monkey Shines. Have you seen Link? That's a good one too.
