Summer Camp Nightmare 6/10

I watched this during the week too after hearing it mentioned on Shock Waves.

It was alright. Very 80’s.

Blade Runner, 1982. 8/10

Director: Ridley Scott

WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH (1970). The budget tightening was beginning to show and there is a lot of padding the story out to a much longer length than the plot deserves. Still, I was completely taken in by it at nine (First time) and marveled at the wonderful Stop motion effects in here...truly life like Dinos, especially the Rhamphoryncus that tries to make lunch of our leading man who in certain shots looks like a young Charles Bronson::big grin::!!.
While Victoria Vetri (also in ROSEMARY'S BABY) was cast for her Va-Va-Voom factor (extensive, I must say), she is quite engaging in here, with an almost child like expression, particularly when she meets her surrogate "Mother". ***

DEATH RACE 2000 (1975). In the new future, a Cross Country Auto Race (Ny to LA) takes place, with added points added to the cars that strike pedestrians. Totally absurd, but lots of fun and David Carradine, fresh off the KUNG FU TV series is pretty cool as "Frankenstein", the reigning champion. An early role for Martin Kove (the mean Sensei from THE KARATE KID) and Mary Woronov is great/gorgeous here. Highlight of the film for Me is a pre-ROCKY Sylvester Stallone, delivering a stand out performance as the arrogant and abrasive "Machine Gun Joe Viterbo". ***1/2

ROCK HARD ZOMBIES 1985

In a town full of demented dwarves, nazi senior citizens and sexual perversion, a young girl captures the heart of the lead singer of a rock band scheduled to play there.

One scene was beyond disgusting as one of the characters talks about the holocaust and it was almost played like comedy. Dreadful.

RESURRECTION (1980). Had heard how good this was over the years and after watching it, can say it is, but not that good. Ellen Burstyn, however, is wonderful as an ordinary woman who after an accident, visits the "Other Side" and comes back as a Faith healer. Story keeps You invested and only real gaffe I could see was her love for Sam Sheppard's character, who is an asshat from the get go. Worth seeing for Ellen alone. ***

Your mention of Resurrection 1980 reminded me of a little known 1991 film called The Rapture starring Mimi Rogers and David Duchovny, written/directed Michael Tolkin (The Player 1991). Warning for some sexual content. Very unusual film in the setting of the rapture.
