Salpel. 1977. A deranged surgeon restore's a beaten girl's face that almost resembles his deceased daughter. This seemed to start off well and slowly becomes more psychological than a full blown horror film with the doctor having a split personality disorder, almost Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with some Dr Frankenstein persona. The film's pace seems to go steady then fast with Robert Lansing being the mad doctor who has been cut out of a will and uses go go dancer Judith Chapman as a guinea pig for his plan. This is like a slow decent into being a good doctor then flick a switch to total paranoia. At times the acting can go over the top and some scenes lasting longer than what they should be but a nice little twist at the end. 65870_2_front.jpg

Wild In The Streets (1968, Robert Thom) I always wanted to see this one after reading the novelisation years ago. A pop singer becomes POTUS on a ticket of "youth power". Hilariously of its time and then some. Shelley Winters the storm Richard Pryor turns up playing a drummer (maan) and there is a line that would have them all cancelled nowadays . Here's a nice song to end on .....

Paranormal Activity: Next Of Kin. Sarah who was abandoned by her mother when she was a baby, travels to a remote Amish community with two colleagues and document the answers they find, only to find something evil. I don't mind the previous Paranormal Activity movies, they aren't great but aren't terrible either, for me with this, it seemed a cash in on the name even though it was made by Paramount. The demon's name is mentioned slightly in the first film but that's it, it has no connection to the previous films. I thought this was to be a found footage but seems to jump from POV to normal, and has a slight rip-off from the film [REC]. Surely now this has to be the last one. 29160_450x640.jpg

Mind Killer (1987, Michael Kruger) A nebbish thinks he's found the answer to his lack of a love life when he discovers an old manuscript. The lead has one of those faces that screams WHO? Not a good start. He develops a weird ability to "control" his prey, which is alternately hilarious and badly staged The FX at the end was fun for all that. Next!!!

I have Evil Laugh on dvd, Frankie. From a US company that may well be called Lucky 13 (Got a couple of their releases actually). You sum it up rather well i think. It's just odd. I've probably seen it four times over the years. I've seen The Lost Boys once. |
