Crucible of Terror(1971) 7/10
Deadly Strangers(1974) 8/10

Cat's Eye(Anthology comedy horror film from 1985) First story with James Woods 7.5/10, second story with Robert Hays 6.5/10, and last story with Drew Barrymore 7.5/10. Overall I enjoyed it.

XTRO 1983

A father returns to try and claim his son after being missing for 3 years. He also claims to have no knowledge or memory of where he's been.

Not quite what I expected but a nice watch.

I'm with you on Stuff.

I love The Stuff, but I concede that that may have more to do with my being a big Michael Moriarty fan than the film itself.

Yeah, it is pretty bad, but You gotta love The Coop. New LP coming out in a couple of days!

I really like him as well...thought he was excellent in the 1978 Big Event HOLOCAUST and really should see BANG THE DRUM SLOWLY.

DESPERATE LIVING (1977). Like a lot of John Waters's early films, this has a tendency to go off in different directions, but the first 15 minutes are truly funny and some good gross out scenes too. When I had my Movie Club in the 90's, showed this and one of the members had quite commercial tastes (but to be fair, he did give the off the wall stuff a try) and a few of the scenes , particularly one involving transplants had him bellowing "WHAT THE F--K!!!??!!"::big grin::::wink::::devil::. ***

The Prowler -

I finally saw this movie and it's pretty good. It reminded me of a harsher Friday the 13th at times. The kills went a bit further than in Friday the 13th. They were meaner and more graphic. The effects were very good and when I saw Tom Savini was credited for the effects I wasn't surprised. Also, I looked up the director and he also directed a Friday the 13th entry. The mean nature of the movie means it wouldn't be that much fun for me to watch again though. I thought the lead actress was cool though and wish she was in a Friday the 13th movie.

You are suggesting the movie is too dark even for horror fans, ala Cannibal Holocaust?
