Holy shit! What an odd coincidence. I was JUST recalling these two films a few days ago. They were both films I had watched as a young child, and was asking my mother if she had remembered them. They are both very similar, in my opinion.
They are based off of children's stories, for one thing, and both of the 'evils' within the movie have a certain hysterical cruelty to them.
I would say these films are excellent, fueled on my nostalgia for them and my love of cheese. However, it's likely that you won't enjoy them - especially if you think they look like shit based on the covers/synopsis. They get worse. MUCH WORSE.
