Species is a prime example of a film with so much potential but just can’t bring it all together. The story is solid enough, about a team of scientists tracking an escaped female alien-human hybrid whose driving force is to procreate with a man. Naturally she kills anyone in her way. Director: Roger DonaldsonScreenplay: Dennis FeldmanProducer: Frank Mancuso, … Continue reading Species (1995) Movie Review

Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) Movie Review
Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a cult classic that lives up to the hype. The movie blends alien invasion tropes with a carnival atmosphere. It all adds up to a nightmarish world where townspeople are killed in the most clown-worthy ways; cotton candy cocoons, popcorn guns, carnivorous shadow puppets, and even a clown kaiju all add … Continue reading Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) Movie Review

Maximum Overdrive (1986) Movie Review
Maximum Overdrive is perfectly mediocre but with enough interesting parts to make it worthwhile. The movie is produced by questionably renowned producer Dino De Laurentiis (King Kong ‘76, Orca, Piranha II: The Spawning); it is also written and directed by Stephen King, based on an early short story of his called “Trucks”. Director: Stephen KingProducer: Dino De Laurentiis, Martha De Laurentiis, Milton … Continue reading Maximum Overdrive (1986) Movie Review
Frankenhooker (1990) Movie Review
Frankenhooker is not the worst Frankenstein adaptation out there (hello, Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter) but it ranks low. This 1990 black comedy comes from exploitation maestro, Frank Henenlotter, the director of Basket Case. Like Basket Case, Frankenhooker is sleazy, crass, and gory; but unlike its predecessor, Frankenhooker lacks inspiration. Director: Frank Henenlotter Producer: Edgar IevinsWriters: Frank Henenlotter, Robert MartinCinematographer: Robert M. BaldwinEditor: Kevin TrentMusic: Joe RenzettiSelect Cast: James Lorinz, … Continue reading Frankenhooker (1990) Movie Review

Basket Case (1982) Movie Review
Basket Case is a complicated film. On the surface, it is a well-made schlocker sporting stylized violence and wickedly dark humor. Look a little deeper, however, and it is not a stretch to apply themes of the discrimination disabled people face in the world. This, in and of itself, mostly presents as a poignant meditation on … Continue reading Basket Case (1982) Movie Review

C.H.U.D. (1984) Movie Review
Come for the premise, stay for the early turns from noted actors John Heard, Daniel Stern, and even John Goodman. Unfortunately this doesn’t say much about the movie itself. C.H.U.D. is a New World Pictures production about a photographer, soup kitchen manager, and police captain who join forces to reveal a government coverup involving mutated humanoids dwelling … Continue reading C.H.U.D.
