Nice to see it intact after all this time. The heartwarming tale of a boy and his parasite
Still mad as ****, as if he thought "I've made Basket Case, I can go one further though ..."


Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night (2010)

Yep, you read that right. "Inspired" by Peli's success, here come de exploitation. Not as much of a casrbon copy as I had feared, but the scares are all fudged, one sequence leaving me in tears alright ... of laughter
Ahem.


Cemetery Of Terror (1985, Ruben Galindo Jr)

A lot of fun this as it stood. Plus Stiglitz. His "sexy" image is the scariest thing here tbh, well, keep watching
Slightly daft, but there are tropes galore to tick off, so entertainment on any level ahem.

Basket Case and Brain Damage are both excellent films, love films that are different and a millions miles away from the norm killer/ slasher type .

The rare beast were a remake is better than the sequel . A film that excels at giving a sense of paranoia and isolation . A group of people begin too notice that people aren't behaving like themselves , they soon learn this is connected to strange looking plants that have suddenly appeared and the population is being slowly replaced. Well acted and very tense and just like the characters as the film goes on you just don't know who too trust . The end scene is iconic and the bango man dog is more funny than scary. 9/10

Going to watch this later, anyone seen it?

Ready Or Not is a blast.

[MrBarlow]

Timestalkers. 1987.

A history teacher becomes involved with two time travelers from the future, one to alter everything while the other one tries to stop him.

Made for T.V. movie this was a enjoyable little Science-Fiction flick from the 80s, William Devane a history teacher and a wild west fan and writer, is coerced to join Lauren Hutton who attempts to track down Klaus Kinski who wants to alter the future. There is no over the top special effects that will mesmerize you just straight to the point acting and a film that goes back and forth to the present and the past.

What did you make of that finale where they all blew up?

At the time i thought wow, brilliant! But looking back now it also felt like a bit of a cop out too. I'm not sure. I'll know better on second watch i guess.

I liked it but as you say it was a little bit of a cop out, was expecting some sort of twist, when she started giggling and people exploded I thought she had played them all and was the devil. I do think some sort of twist would of been a better ending. But the the exploding people was pretty cool and funny.
