"The Thing" (1982)
-Kurt Russell Plot: Men in an Antarctic outpost battle an alien able to assume the form of life it engulfs. Phantoms Review: One of the very, very few remakes that is superior to the original. I love the original 1950's version but the John Carpenter film is miles above it. Tense, well acted and with special FX that have yet to be topped. A true terror classic. ::EEK!:: |
Black Devil Doll From Hell (1984)
http://www.fright.com/edge/BlackDevilDollFromHell.jpg I have a friend who enjoys seeing bad movies. He stopped by the other night and wanted to watch something "bad". Knowing that I have an immense catalog of bad cinema he actually requested Black Devil Doll From Hell by name. Since it had been 10 years since my last viewing I agreed. For anyone who hasn't seen this piece of cult cinema, it was shot on VHS and features a very religious black woman buying a puppet/doll which in turn gives her her hearts desire. So if you have a fetish for watching Dolls or Puppets come to life (and talk like Mr. T) and rape overly religious women, this movie is for you. My friend felt rather speechless when it was over ranking it as probably one of the bottom 2 films he's ever seen. This was the 3rd time I had subjected myself to this movie. The 2nd time was to hear the alternate Heavy Metal soundtrack rather than the Atari/Nintendo game style soundtrack. When I told him this was my 3rd traversal he looked at me in utter amazement of such a feat. I must admit I feel slightly empowered now having survived 3 viewings. I think I can go another 20 years though before attempting a 4th. |
Friday the 13th V (1985) - 3 out of 5 stars.
Now watching Friday the 13th VIII. On AMC's FearFest. |
'Escape From New York' (1981)
-Kurt Russell Phantoms Review: My alltime favorite John Carpenter film. Still fun after all these years and many, many viewings. Kurt Russell is awesome as Snake Plissken. Love it. |
Kurt Russell and John Carpenter did work well together. ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and especially THE THING are two favorites.
Entertaining commentary by both on THE THING. |
SILVER BULLET 1985
Fell in love with this movie again! A young brother and sister do battle with a werewolf decimating their town. |

I forgot to mention that I watched Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS (1975) last night for the first time. Omg, loved it!! It was a lot of fun and it had some good wholesome shock value!! I will watch it again down the road some time and I would like to find some more of her films. I found this channel on my Roku for free called Cryptic TV. There is some pretty good stuff on there!!

There are 3 other Ilsa films with Dyanne Thorne in them (1 is unofficial).
