Horror Movie Reviews

Holy smokes! I can't listen to that theme song anymore! The first time it was funny, now it's just annoying.
Okay, now that that is out of my system. The film starts out on
an interesting tale of a sea captain (Eric Porter) with surly
attitude and a secret. (And this yahoo is supposed to be the star) The boat is on it's last sea leg, (sorry) and the crew is
looking for a reason to rebel.....the plot was reason enough for me. Anyhoo, Then we have the passengers, the Love Boat this aint.

These people are all running away from personal and criminal problems. They all board this rusty ship, with a crooked captain,
and his lovely crew. The captain's secret is he is carrying an
explosive material,....that detonates when it's wet. The ship is heading out to sea when they find out they're heading into a Hurricane. The crew, headed by Michael Ripper, discovers the illegal cargo when the ship developes a leak...in the hull....
where the explosives are. The passengers and the crew move the
explosives and then abandon ship. Way too many people are floating about on this raft, when they just happen to come across the ship they had abandoned earlier. Now, here's where it gets rediculous.. murderous seaweed, rubber monsters, a chick with impossibly large breasts, spanish sadists, balloon harnesses (don't ask), and a big stupid messy ending.
The Anchor Bay version has extra footage that was cut because it was too adult, there's no nudity, but believe me if any film ever needed it, it's this one!
The reproduction is murky and dark which made it almost impossible to see this horrible train wreck of a picture. You might be wondering why I gave it 2 stars.....Let's put it this way, one of the stars is for the widescreen presentation and the other star is for having the, um...male fortitude to actually make the film.

Having read the novel "Uncharted Seas" by Dennis Wheatley i popped the DVD into the player and for the first time saw Hammers take of the novel, titled "The Lost Continent".

After reading some quite negative reviews for this film my hopes were not very high. Fortunately i was pleasantly surprised as the film was not a total loss. However there were too many changes from the novel. Firstly the heroic characters in the novel (particularly the captain, the drunk Englishman and the French officer) were totally missing in the film version. The whole explosives sub plot never occurred and was just a conveniant way of finishing the film. I did appreciate the seeweed (although not carnivorous in the novel), the squid creature and the giant crab on the island (minus the scorpion) were taken from the novel pretty much as is. Also great was the shipwreck graveyard and the eerie orange sky. And yes the natural gas filled balloons do make sense if you have read the novel.

The ending was a bit disappointing and seemed almost rushed. This is where the film really strayed. Many people would find the novel offensive because of its portrayal of coloured people. For this reason i fully understand and support the changes made, but even so the ending was nowhere near as exciting as it could have been.

Overall a decent effort by Hammer but not as good as the other Wheatley adaptation "The Devil Rides Out". Its a shame "The Haunting of Toby Jugg" was planned but never made by Hammer, it has great potential. Well maybe one day someone will make it.

While Hammer Studios is much more well known for their gothic vampire flicks (often starring the incredibly intimidating Christopher Lee and a barrage of well-endowed female actresses), some of their very best films, believe it or not, didn't star Peter Cushing. THE LOST CONTINENT is a perfect example, and is a great purchase for anyone out there who appreciates campy thrills...

Even trying to explain this one is pretty useless, since the flick is literally all over the place! A mysterious group of characters, each with their own shaded past, are traveling on a rusty steam ship along with a highly explosive cargo. Along the way, they have to deal with gigantic killer crustaceans, religious fanatics, blood-thirsty sea-weed (my personal favorite) and much more. The film is full of melodramatic clichés (including the teary-eyed confessional that attempts to convince us that a one-dimension character is actually two-dimensional) and the plot zips along at a fairly quick pace. The climax and ending is especially entertaining, with the introduction of a character that has literally two minutes of screen time and yet is the only person in the entire film who the characters give a proper burial... great stuff!!! As you might have imagined, THE LOST CONTINENT is a genuinely unpredictable film, which is part of the fun of it all. Of course, it's also impossible to take seriously and its fun atmosphere means it holds up considerably well upon repeated viewings.

Add in a hilarious lounge soundtrack and you've got the perfect midnight popcorn flick. It's amazing that Hammer even released such a crazy flick (on second thought, they were also responsible for the utterly baffling THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES, so maybe it's not that surprising after all). Anchor Bay Entertainment gives this obscure flick a great release... The film is presented uncut and widescreen and we're treated to theatrical trailers, television spots, a cardboard poster recreation, and an episode of the World of Hammer television show entitled "Lands Before Time" (which unfortunately gives away to the films SHE and THE VENGEANCE OF SHE, so be warned). Highly recommended!

This was the funniest movie I have ever seen and should definitely be re-released in the movie theaters so the younger generations can experience the wonderful tale of "Monkey Shines." While select scenes are a tad on the vulger side (a.k.a. the sex scene--what was that!?)the rest of the movie is burned in my mind forever as the best movie ever to play in the theater.
P.S.-Shout out to the swim team-I know all of you truly love "Monkey Shines"

This is a hilarious movie even though it's not supposed to be. It's such a horrible horror movie that it's funny.

I was blown away by this movie. This is a very artsey movie and the screen play is fantastic. I laughed through a lot of the movie, but it was filled with suspense. I recommened this movie to everyone, it is a great movie. Yale is better then Harvard Will, yes it is.

Adrienne Barbeau, in tight shirts or low-cut gowns, sometimes running, sometimes wet. Oh, and in one scene for DVD viewers only, bathing in the swamp for some gratuitous topless shots. That, in short, is about all this movie has going for it.

Adapted from a DC Comics character, Swamp Thing joins the ranks of comic adaptations that should never have been. On the side of evil is a 2-dimensional evil botanist (Louis Jourdan) and an incompetent band of commandos (David Hess, Nicholas Worth, et al). The hero is a GOOD botanist (Ray Wise) who transforms into the rubber-suited title character (Dick Durock) and is lovesick for Barbeau. They all muck about in the swamp searching for the ultimate glowing green fertilizer.

If you have a hankering to see director Wes Craven at his worst or Barbeau's breasts at their best, this is a must-see. There's no other reason to go near it.

1) Wes Craven directs. First big budget film for him and arguably paves the way for "Nightmare on Elm Street". 2) Adrienne Barbeau bouncing about through the film, including a bathing scene in the swamp with her exposed flotation devices. 3) Great transfer. If you remember seeing this washed out, muddy film in the theatres, you will be thrilled to see it on DVD. An unrestored trailer on the DVD unintentionally highlights the incredible difference. 4) Choice of widescreen or full screen. Some people HAVE to have one or the other. 5) Hard to find, impossible to rent. After a mother a couple years back raised such a stink at Blockbuster for the nudity in the film (it is PG, but as it was made in 1981 and there was no PG-13 rating yet, basic nudity WAS ok), it was pulled from the entire chain. Ramifications reached all the way to MGM who discontinued the DVD. It is now out of print with no talk of being rereleased. 6) Big monsters in silly rubber suits fighting. Enough said. 7) Incredible cinematography. Don't let the cheesiness of the movie fool you. The swamp locations in this now restored version are rarely seen on film. 8) Barbeau escapes from the para-military unit no less than three times in the movie. Where did these guys get their training? 9) Four page leaflet included. Don't you hate DVDs without a chapter card? Don't you wish DVDs with a chapter card gave more info? There are some tasty tidbits on this one. 10) It's a movie of a comic book character. These will ALWAYS be collectible sought after. Go ahead, buy it!

Well folks, here it is: Swamp Thing! If you're like me and were a kid at the time this film came out(and could be caught on HBO at any given time of the day, along with The Beastmaster and Superfuzz), you probably have a special place in your heart for it, be it good or bad. This film puts you in a time warp and brings back fond memories of your childhood. If you see it for the first time as a mature adult, you won't be too impressed, but when you're a kid, this is just the coolest thing. Looking back, it's funny to think that Wes Craven directed this film, but I prefer all of his old stuff to the crud he does now. I was lucky enough to buy this right after it came out, coz certain schmucks decided to pull this dvd. I don't know who it was specifically, but they pressured MGM(who have been saints for releasing these old forgottem gems) to recall it. A TRUE AMERICAN TRAGEDY! Swamp Thing gets recalled yet we still have copies of Dude, Where's My Car? and Ghost Ship floating(get it? "Floating?" Ghost Ship Floating?) around the retail and rental stores. Swamp Thing is a great piece of cinema history and should be released again. If you happen to find a copy that some ignorant fool decided to sell to a buy/sell shop, you'd better consider snatching that up before you head to Starbucks for a shot of expresso. You'll thank me later.

The Least Successful of the Body Snatcher Movies..., for a reason, the movie was so slow that I fell sleep the first time I watched it! I'm a big fan of Jack Finney's book "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." (1954). The first two movies (1956 & 1978) were great because in their own way, each faithfully depicted the atmosphere of total dispair found in the book. This installment didn't adhere very well to the mood or the original plot, at the same time it didn't bring any innovation to the story line, the way that the 1978 version did. If you're a fan of "Invasion...", I don't recomend it. If you are watching it for the horror aspect, eigther of the first two is superior to this one. I also recomend, John Carpenter's: "The Thing"; and Robert Heilein's: "The Puppet Masters", staring Donald Southerland.

Many have felt that the ability for the pods to take over the whole town in the first movie was a good stretch. To take over LA in the second movie was just impossible. But in this third version of the story, the setting is just right.

An EPA agent and his family are visiting an army base where there might be toxic waste leaking into the environment. Little do they know that chemicals are not the real threat. Strange pods have been found in the marsh.

As you are probably aware, the pods grow into duplicates of people and then replace them. On an army base, once an officer has been taken, it is easy to trap the lower ranks. It also means that the pod people have access to weapons supplies.

But the locale is not the only improvement in this version. We get plenty of key scenes where you never quite know who is still themselves and who can not be trusted. The conversion process has also been improved to explain how the pods can copy people and what happens to the bodies afterwards.

There is quite a bit of nudity in this version, so it is not as accessible as the earlier versions, but is definitely worth it.

This is my favorite version of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" I rememeber seeing the remake with Donald Sutherland in 1978 and thought it could not be topped. Even after seeing this version on TV a few years back... so recently I bought the 1978 remake to see it once again to compare... but after veiwing this version with Meg Tilly ... watching the 1978 remake once more, the 1978 remake was lacking something that "Body Snatchers" version has.

If you have never seen any of these "Invation of the Body Snatcher" movies. Please watch them in order...The original from 1956 with Kevin McCarthy ..next the 1978 with Donald Sutherland , then this version "The Body Snatchers"with Meg Tilly ...to be able to enjoy them all

this movie has been done like a trillion times but this is a little better than other "break in" movies such as the overrated panic room. The actors are suprisingly decent, no names for the most part but that's not always a bad thing as some people would think.

3 men break into this house, only...i forget her name but the teenage girl and her little sister manage to hide out of sight from the robbers, technically they arent even robbers but anyways. They slap around the mom, the dad, and the brother every now and then and eventally kill the brother and the dad...which makes this movie a little more suprising than others who would just give you the same old fairy tale ending. the teenage girl knows she is the only chance to save the rest of her family and plots to save them.

this movie is nothing special but atleast it'll keep your intrest from start to finish.

It seems, from reading the reviews that are written about this film, that people either absolutely loved it or out right hated it. I actually found myself in between while watching this film for the first time yesterday. After reading some of the reviews here, I was browsing through my local dvd store and picked it up on a whim. Here's what I thought:

The plot of the movie couldn't be more simple. A gang of hoodlums break into a family's house while they are home. They begin to terrorize the family while the two daughters (who the thugs didn't know existed yet) try to escape and get help. That's it. There's no backstory on any of the characters and the movie gets under way without and development at all. Most of the violence in the film is done off screen so we really don't get to see much of it, just hear it. And since there are no special effects, no set changes and pretty much no budget, what we are left with is the story, the characters and the acting.

I felt the real winner in this little film was the acting. The girl who layed Loribeth was actually quite good. Coming off as very scared but determined. The main "bad guy" (done in meniacal fashion by the same "bad guy" in "I Know What You Did Last Summer") also was very convincing as the instigator/leader of the group. Most of the supporting cast was acceptable enough.

Overall, the movie successfully comes off with a bit of a scared and tense feeling to it and does the job of making you interested and feel sympathy for Loribeth. I felt with a little more effort and maybe a few more bucks in the budget they could have made it into something much better, but it's a reasonable entry into a genre that doesn't get much attention nowadays....

This masterpiece was absolutely hilarious. I could not stop laughing at the terror the family endured from these responsible human beings. The three killers are modern-day American heroes. I recommend this movie to anyone who just wants to sit down and watch a nice movie with their family. If you like the Brady Bunch, then you will absolute cherish the film for years to come.... This heart-warming tale of one family's hope of survival will remain in the gentle valve of your heart forever. I should warn you though, there are a few scenes in the film that may bring a few tears to your eyes. This is of course when the demented Mary viciously attacks our beloved trio. I cannot begin to descibe the emotional breakdown I had when she struck the bald guy with a bat. This was a cruel act of violence and he did nothing to provoke this evil witch from commiting this heinous act. I don't want to give away the sad ending of this excellent film (some of the family survives.) I recommend you all pick up a copy. For [the money] you can't go wrong. I guarantee you will love this film.

This movie was a bit of a suprize. I expected a low budget film and was impressed at how well it was made. It was enjoyable and entertaining. I would have to say that it would never be up for an Oscar, but it was fun to watch.

Finally a horror movie that shows something besides girls' cleavage -- guys' cleavage. Hunky college freshman Chris (Samuel Page), who evidently forgot to pack any shirts, becomes entangled with a secret society of guys who hang around in their underwear gazing lustfully at each other -- oh, and drink blood so they can stay forever hunky. One might consider this a homophobic association of gay people with vampires, except that Chris has a doting roommate who sits awfully close to him on the bed and also forgot to pack any shirts. Roomate struggles to unravel the mystery, getting himself into all sorts of dangerous spots and finally mounting a daring rescue. At the end of the movie, they walk off together, no doubt to transfer to West Hollywood Tech.

It's been done before, obviously -- Corey Haim plays a gay boy trying to de-vampirize his brother in "The Lost Boys." But never with so much eye-candy and homoerotic sizzle, and a quiet boy-next-door romance on top of it. If only somebody had the nerve to use the "g" word, just once, it would get 5 stars.

This is one of the most horrible movies I've ever seen. It's terrific. This is quite possibly the world's best movie for watching with friends on a Friday night while you're one-quarter drunk.

The term 'campy' was probably intended to describe cheesy monster movies of the 50s like THE GIANT GILA MONSTER. Horror films preceding this decade and following it have tried to scare audiences in a serious way, usually with middling success. In the 50s however, the possibility of a nuclear holocaust convinced more than a few directors that a new and untrod direction in cinematic fear was needed. This direction was to dump some truly ridiculous monsters on the screen, usually with dancing rock and rollers, and go for the cheap laughs. Such a direction was undoubtedly facilitated by an equally cheap budget that did not allow for convincing special effects or a talented cast or gifted script writers. Director Ray Kellog is typical of his contemporaries in that he presents a menace to mankind in which the monster's lethality is confined to a limited target population, either country bumpkin types or jitterbugging teens. The 'monster' was either a giant reptile, as the Gila monster in this movie, or smaller and recognizable variants of known animals like the predatory shrews of THE KILLER SHREWS (also directed by Kellogg). It is difficult to assume that Kellogg really believed that a sequence of shots with a lizard slithering around and through some toy mockups would scare anyone over the age of ten. Far more likely is the belief that he wanted to use the non-existent fear factor as a blanket by which he could raise some threads and peek at an assortment of 50s style themes and fads. It cannot be a coincidence that the scourge of rock and roll, which was thought by the stiff collar crowd to be the undermining of our youth, was loudly trumpted in nearly every third scene. Don Sullivan, who plays the ukelele plunking hero, sings some truly awful songs that are meant to be a jibe at rock and roll but emerge more as an abortive aspirant to star in Hee Haw. TGGM contains the usual range of cinematic cliches from the hayseed but earnest sheriff to the goofy teens (played by actors at least ten years olders than their parts) to a monster that leaves the audience truly gasping at its inept level of non-lethality. As often was the case in this genre only the youthful protagonist could figure how to to slay the dragon. The ending reminded me of that which often closed television juvenile shows of the era--the remaining cast gathered in a circle to hold hands and laugh, possibly to reassure us that the dragon has been banished, but more likely to indicate that they could hardly believe that anyone would pay the price of a ticket to see this one.

My fellow Motorheads will get a kick out of this movie simply for the period hot rods; a half-dozen T-buckets powered by the long gone Flathead Ford V-8! I often wonder what happened to those old rides, hopefully some were perserved.

As for the movie itself, well it's bad but doesn't take itself too seriously. Too much 1950's stuff is crammed into the movie for a two hour horror flick. Hot rods, rock and roll, teen angst, rich vrs poor, and of course the rich girl dating the poor boy. All this and a giant Gila monster! They could have had about three decent movies (budget allowing of course) out of this low budget gem that tries to do too much with way too little.

Viewed as a fun piece of nostaglia it is certainly worth watching.

I first discovered the film, "The Giant Gila Monster" while watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. While the commentary given by the characters on the show really made this film funny, watching the film by itself also lent some humor.

The story centers around a small town that is ravaged by a giant gila monster that emerged from the desert. While the gila monster wreaks havoc on the town and the town's people, the audience is also treated to the singing of Don Sullivan, who plays the lead. While it was funny at first, by the end of the movie you'll want to scream if you have to hear the song, "Laugh Children Laugh" one more time!

All in all, I did like this movie. It's interesting to see the archaic special effects that were probably cutting edge back in 1959 and compare them to the out-of-this-world effects used now. For those of you who love those old, drive-in movies that are purely for entertainment this is the one for you!

"Die, Monster, Die" is passable stuff for horror fans, with good atmosphere, photography, and art direction, and of course the presence of Karloff; but plotwise it's a bit of a tangle, a hackneyed adaptation of Lovecraft's 'The Color Out of Space' that loses the flavor of the story in trying to adapt it to the conventions of the Price/Corman/Poe films. Unique source material is, unfortunately, boiled down to a series of cliches. But for dedicated horror fans, they're good cliches.

Whether or not you like the style of the films AIP made in the UK in the mid-sixties will determine what you think of this. Nick Adams arrives in the cosy little English village of Arkham and discovers peculiar goings-on up at a big old house where Boris Karloff is creating strange mutated things in his greenhouse with the aid of a glowing green meteorite. Boris's wife is starting to mutate as well and she manages to go on the rampage and get her face melted before the whole thing ends predictably in flames. Daniel Haller's exercise in adapting Lovecraft was presumably filmed around Bray studios as the house used for the exterior shots is none other than Oakley Court, the location used for many a classic British horror film including The Reptile, Vampyres and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
As a piece of filmic Lovecraft the picture doesn't really work. If, however, you want a well-preserved widescreen slice of mid-sixties Brit horror then look no further. MGM's print has a few scratches but the colour photography in the opening scenes of the railway station and the village must look as good as (if not better than) when the film was first released. The special effects are what you would expect from this time period - psychedelic colour filters and rubber puppets twisted into funny shapes to simulate the greenhouse mutations. Good value for money, even if the only extras are a trailer and chapter selections.

Veteran screenwriter Jerry Sohl and scene designer/fledgling director Daniel Haller expand Lovecraft's "colorful" short story into a typical feature-length AIP shocker, with mostly good results.

Nick Adams visits his fiance Susan Farmer's ancestral estate in the country, where he is not welcomed with open arms. Farmer's father, Boris Karloff, has a feared and hated name in the region, for reasons no one will disclose. Karloff himself tries to send Adams away upon his arrival, but Farmer won't hear of it - nor will her mother, the sickly and sequestered Frieda Jackson, who sent for Adams in the first place.

Standoffish Karloff is hiding something, and even Jackson isn't fully sure what it is. It has something to do with a meteorite that permanently blasted the nearby heath some years ago, and is somehow killing Karloff's household. Jackson wants Adams to take Farmer away from the unhealthy environment.

But Adams discovers from town doctor Patrick Magee that Karloff's family has always been twisted with a bizarre space-cult religion, which in some way has something to do not only with their penchant for undiagnosable wasting illness, but also seems to have created an unknown poison that is sucking the vital life force out of the entire area and gives birth to mutations.

It isn't long before Adams discovers the hidden source of Karloff's family's - and the town's - woes: Karloff has been keeping the meteorite in his diseased progenitors' religious shrine, where its unearthly cosmic force continues to ravage anything in the vicinity. Before the story is out, most of his household will succumb to it - in colorfully hideous fashion, by way of disintegrating facial makeups and sundry other mutations - and Adams will have a nasty time delivering poor Susan Farmer (and himself) to safety.

The movie is uneven, and takes a while to get going. There are a lot of stalking-through-the-mansion shots. But director Haller's experience as an artistic scene designer shows, and the film is indeed extremely colorful and atmospheric. There are some clever puppet effects used to show mutated plant-creatures and lesser changed animals. Jackson's disintegration is a great moment, very creepy and unsettling. And Karloff undergoes a final unlikely mutation himself, transforming from a wheelchair-ridden irascible old man into a silvery-greenish, bald, athletically powerful alien attacker - which makes no logical sense whatsoever, but is great fun to watch.

A typical movie of the studio and the time, but elevated by a good cast, decent script, and terrific production design and cinematography.

Milo is the dumbest movie ever. No horor lover would love that movie. The boy is wierd and strange but not scary. I would only buy this to start a collection of not scary, scary movies. save your money and buy Darkness Falls. Thats a scary movie.

A young boy, Milo, kills a girl and stabs her friends. Sixteen years later, one of the girls, Claire, returns to the town to attend her friend's wedding. But when she arrives she learns the friend died in a car accident the day before. Claire takes over the friend's teaching job and soon she starts to see a boy who looks just like Milo.

This is the standard slasher movie plot but the movie is somewhat different. First of all, it has less main characters than most slashers, which makes you care more for them, and especially the heroine, Claire. On the other hand, less characters mean less opportunities to kill them. The result is a horror movie that is more of a mystery than a gory slasher.

The movie is director Pascal Franchot's first, and so far only moviem and some scenes could have been better made, but overall this is a good debut.

In my opinion, this is better than the standard slasher because the plot is more interesting and the characters are better than in many slashers and easier to care for. The last fifteen or twenty minutes aren't quite as good as the rest of the movie, but still not bad. If you're looking for a mystery-horror movie, give this a try! If you want a slahser with as many killings as possible, there are other movies that would be better.

Not bad, but not great, it is just good. I like it. It was scary and creepy, with great music and exceptional acting, and haveing the kid as the killer is a twist. Rent before buying, and watch this one alone in the dark.
