Meg 2: The Trench (2023)

7/10

Not quite as Mega as the first, but still a fun monster movie!

5 August 2023

When it comes to giant monster movies, Meg 2: The Trench ticks most of the boxes you'd want to be ticked. While not quite as strong as the first film (which I personally loved) it's still a mostly solid sequel.

The opening and set-up work nicely, followed by some creepy trench exploration that's possibly the most horror-esque sequence throughout both of the Meg films. The movie slows down a little during its second act, however, and the monster action takes a backseat for a fairly uninteresting action/eco-terrorist plot... but Meg 2 is mostly saved by going full throttle once again in the finale, with plenty of sharky, tentacly, lizardy, Jason Stathamy goodness to go around.

All in all, Meg 2 is probably a fairly strong 7/10, if you enjoy these kinds of popcorn movies. I hope they keep making these, or at least round things off with a third instalment. We've gotta have Jason Statham riding a megalodon into battle, after all!

Sole Survivor (1984)

7/10

Before Final Destination, there was Sole Survivor...

27 October 2022

When Denise Watson miraculously emerges from a plane crash as the, *ahem*, sole survivor of the tragic accident, she attempts to move on and return to life as normal. She avoids reporters, goes back to work, and even strikes up a promising relationship with her doctor. And yet, she cannot shake the suspicion that something still isn't quite right - that she's about to be "caught" somehow, as she says herself - and she gradually discovers that there's much more to her "survivor's guilt" than a mere uneasy feeling...

Though the concept of someone surviving an accident they weren't supposed to, only to find that death still isn't finished with them, brings Final Destination to mind for most people, Sole Survivor came well before it. Unlike Final Desination, however, Sole Survivor doesn't focus on grizzly death scenes and shocking gore. Instead, this film is a slow-burn that follows one woman as she slowly begins to realise her brush with death isn't over, and it does so by effectively building a tense atmosphere throughout its runtime. While the film is a little slow here and there, it progresses nicely to a finale that leaves you feeling cold long after the end credits roll.

For myself, Sole Survivor is a film that kept me thinking about it for some time after I first watched it - thinking about my mortality and the inevitability of death, which will eventually find us all sooner or later - and that's quite an achievement for a horror film. This may not be a movie that will satiate watchers simply looking for a gore fix, but it is a fairly well-made and well-acted horror flick that deserves some recognition.

Cellar Dweller (1987)

7/10

"Nothing in hell lives without Man's consent. Woe unto you that gives the beast form..."

26 October 2022

Written by Don Mancini (Child's Play), with an appearance by Jeffrey Combs (Reanimator), Cellar Dweller is a fun little comic book-themed creature feature that makes for a great late night watch. While it never exactly reaches greatness, the film's enjoyable cast, well-done gory effects, awesome creature design, isolated setting, strong art direction, and unique plot come together to form a solid and well-paced monster movie that offers up a handful of good kills accompanied by a solid soundtrack.

Now make no mistake, this is very much a "cheap" B-movie, and the ending is still a bit of a head-scratcher after multiple viewings... but nonetheless, Cellar Dweller is worthy of a viewing by anyone who considers themselves a fan of low-budget horror, especially with the iconic names attached. Not the best movie I have in my collection, but one that deserves to be there regardless!

The Slayer (1982)

7/10

"Things ain't always what they appear to be..."

26 October 2022

The Slayer is an eerie, slow-burning, dream-oriented slasher that focuses on gradually building up a sense of dread between a few varied, bloody kills. The isolated setting, the creeping soundtrack, and the above-standard acting for a lower budget horror film all come together to form an eerie, mysterious, and atmospheric feature that's worth a watch for genre fans.

While I generally enjoyed the slower nature of the film for the most part, which often serves to enhance the foreboding anticipation before moments of bloodshed, I do think the pacing could have been tightened. Just a few minutes shaved off here and there would have enhanced the overall experience, and the drawn-out third act definitely causes The Slayer to lose a fair bit of steam before the end credits arrive... but this still doesn't take TOO much away from what's otherwise a fairly solid horror movie.

Overall, this is a decent surreal "slasher". While it may not be a thrill-ride from start to finish, it takes itself seriously enough to provide a genuinely creepy and adequately executed ninety minutes of 1980's horror goodness. It's just a shame it wasn't trimmed down to perhaps eighty minutes instead, but The Slayer is still good enough for me to have watched it more than once.

Galaxy of Terror (1981)

8/10

"There's no horror here we don't create ourselves."

26 October 2022

Galaxy of Terror is one of many low-budget sci-fi horror movies spawned during the 80's after the success of Alien - and, in my opinion, one of the best. Produced by Roger Corman, comprising of a great cast (including Robert Englund, Sid Haig, and Ray Walston), and with James Cameron serving as Production Designer and Second Unit Director before he hit the big-time, this is a surprisingly dark and not-so-cheesy instalment in Corman's filmography.

The film's highlights are its incredible set design and practical effects, alongside its incorporation of Lovecraftian horror elements - some of the scenic shots are especially grand and haunting in equal measure. The atmosphere is consistently foreboding, the acting is solid from every single cast member, and though there's some of the usual B-movie hamminess to be found, the movie successfully takes itself more seriously than many of its Corman counterparts.

Despite its low budget, Galaxy of Terror manages to feel large on scale. And, though the pacing drags just a little towards the end, it still remains both entertaining and horrific until the credits roll. This is one of Corman's finest efforts, and one that can be rewatched multiple times without losing any of its impact or its palpable sense of dread.

Prince of Darkness (1987)

9/10

A masterful blend of religious and cosmic horror.

25 October 2022

Rarely do I come across a horror movie - or a movie in general - that I consider to truly deserve the moniker of "masterpiece"... but a strong case can be made for John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness being just that. Its seamless blend of satanic and Lovecraftian horror has long stuck with me as one of the most well-executed works of horror fiction in any format.

The plot, and the way its details are gradually revealed to viewer in an unsettling, atmospheric, and even hypnotic manner, is chill-inducing, and it's the perfect example of how there are more ways to deliver memorable and effective horror than great special effects. It takes a truly unique mind to come up with the concepts presented in this film - the entirely original cosmic horror-esque takes on higher powers, possession, religious deceit, and an impending unholy apocalypse - and a great one to execute them so powerfully.

There's little more praise I can give Prince of Darkness without talking specifics about the actual plot elements of the movie, and why those elements work so well - and I wouldn't even want to do that. This is a film that's best gone into as blindly as possible, and I'm sure anyone with an appreciation for cosmic horror would agree.

While perhaps not a film for everyone, I think many Carpenter fans will agree that Prince of Darkness is not only one his finest films, but also one of the finest films in horror - period. This is a must-watch for any lovers of the genre, and I hope its legacy only continues to grow as the decades go by.

The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)

8/10

Possibly THE archetypal 80's slasher!

25 October 2022

When eighteen-year-old Trish's parents go out of town, naturally she invites her friends over for a night of beer, topless gossip, and a hefty helping of mowie wowie. Unfortunately, escaped mass murderer Russ Thorn happens to be passing through the neighbourhood, and he and his phallic weapon of choice have other plans in mind for the evening...

While not necessarily the very best of its kind, The Slumber Party Massacre is perhaps the most definitive example of an 80's slasher movie. From the grainy camera lens and the creepy theme tune, to the brutal one-by-one murders of the occasionaly-nude teenagers up to no good with drugs and booze, I can't think of a better movie to define this deliciously sleazy horror sub-genre during its most popular decade.

So, if you fancy an evening of beer, bud, boobs, and bloodshed, look no further! This film hits all the right beats - and at only 77 minutes, it does so in a timely and fairly well-paced fashion.

4 dead highschoolers out of 5 from me!

Forbidden World (1982)

8/10

Possibly the best of the 80's Alien knock-offs, and one of Roger Corman's most entertaining efforts!

25 October 2022

Forbidden World is one of countless low-budget Roger Corman classics - and in my opinion, also one of the very best. It ticks just about every box you could possibly expect a cheap 80's sci-fi horror popcorn movie to tick; great practical effects all around (from the horrific body horror to the enjoyably clunky set designs), a solid retro soundtrack, cheap spaceship battles, and even a sleazy sex montage to the soothing sound of a space saxophone solo.

Also, while there might not be any Oscar-worthy acting in this film, a few of the performances are genuinely solid and add to some intense sequences. And finally, at 77 minutes, this is a well-paced B-movie that never drags or meanders too much between the action.

All in all, if you go into this film expecting a legitimate masterpiece like Alien, you'll probably be disappointed... but if you watch Forbidden World for what it is - a much cheaper knock-off made to thrill and entertain - then you'll have a blast.

Also, a quick tip for first-time viewers; if you find yourself unsure of whether you should watch the Theatrical Edition or the Director's Cut - go with the Theatrical Edition. I've read that the Director's Cut doesn't actually add much in terms of plot, violence, or action, and the picture quality of the Theatrical Cut is far superior.

Intruder (1989)

7/10

"I'm just crazy about this store!"

24 October 2022

With the 80s coming to a close, Intruder helps the most iconic decade for slashers - or even horror in general - go out with somewhat of a bang. Starring Dan Hicks in perhaps his most iconic role (alongside Evil Dead 2, of course), with enjoyable appearances by the Raimi brothers and a Bruce Campbell cameo, this is an enjoyably silly gore-fest that delivers exactly what low-budget slashers are all about.

Now don't get me wrong, Intruder isn't without its flaws, even if you take it for what it is. The film takes a while to get going, the pacing isn't great and lacks momentum, the cat-and-mouse final act drags on for far too long (my most common complaint about old-school slashers), and much of the movie's runtime is characters either just doing their jobs or walking around and calling each other's names again and again as they look for each other... but I'll be damned if this doesn't have some of the best death scenes and gruesome practical effects the genre has to offer.

All in all, Intruder isn't exactly a masterpiece, but it's absolutely worth a watch for the gore alone. And of course, rest in peace Mr Hicks. Your contributions to the most memorable decade of horror will never be forgotten!

Dolls (1986)

8/10

"What's the matter? Afraid of the dark?" "No... afraid of what's IN the dark!"

24 October 2022

Dolls is a creepy-yet-endearing classic that deserves more love. Revolving around two separate groups of characters who find themselves spending a storm-ridden night in an old English mansion with an elderly doll-maker and his wife, this film manages to be both genuinely scary and unsettling (as well as unexpectedly gruesome at times), and somehow also genuinely moving with a lot of heart. The effects are very impressive throughout, the film oozes atmosphere, and there are some solid performances to be enjoyed - especially by the adorable Carrie Lorraine! Guy Rolfe and Hilary Mason are also wonderful in their roles, and Stephen Lee deserves a hat-tip for his comedic contributions too.

The only real flaw I can think of in this film is the over-silliness of some of the characters. Still, there's a nice contrast between likeable and unlikable characters here - even if some are a little too cartoonish - and that makes it exceptionally enjoyable when the worst of the bunch start to get picked off by the titular terrors.

Overall, Dolls is a frightfully enjoyable spookfest that stands head and shoulders above many of the more average 80s horror flicks. More than just a movie, it's a reminder to stay young at heart and not lose your sense of imagination - something we could all do with every once in a while!

Chopping Mall (1986)

7/10

"I guess I'm just not used to being chased around a mall in the middle of the night by killer robots..."

23 October 2022

What do you get when you pit a group of horny teens against a batch of rogue, malfunctioning killer robots? Well, a perfectly enjoyable late-night 80s popcorn horror movie, at least!

Filled with deliberately cheesy dialogue and acting, a handful of gruesome-enough death scenes, a retro soundtrack, and more, Chopping Mall is worth a watch for any B-movie aficionado. Sure, it's no masterpiece, even for a film of its kind - the efficiency of the robot's killing methods is wildly inconsistent, and the third act cat-and-mouse sequence drags on for a little too long (a common 80s horror trope) - but you could have a lot less fun on a Saturday night! Go in knowing what to expect and you won't be disappointed.

Thank you, have a nice day!

Night of the Demon (1980)

8/10

A solid, brutal, unnerving Bigfoot horror movie. Deserves a better rating!

14 July 2022

After seeing the 4.6/10 rating on here, I can safely say that I was very, very pleasantly surprised by this movie. The gore is well done and consistent throughout, there are some absolutely beautiful scenic shots, the music adds a real sense of horror and building dread, and the ending... genuinely nightmare-inducing stuff. One of the most shocking finales I've ever seen, without a doubt.

Night of the Demon delivers everything you could possibly want from a low-budget early 80s horror monster film, and often goes above and beyond with its incredibly haunting atmosphere and sound design. While the film is perhaps a little too long and could be paced a little better, and though some of the acting can be hit or miss, this is absolutely a worthwhile watch for old school horror fans. A new favourite for me, that's for sure!

The Wind (1986 Video)

3/10

A dull, uneventful excuse of slasher.

27 August 2021

There's little to say about The Wind because there's just so little to the film itself. It's nothing more than a bland, barely competent slasher that doesn't do anything go above and beyond its bare skeleton of a script and plot, building up no momentum or tension and moving at a snail's pace from start to finish.

Sure, the actors are decent enough and some of the cinematography deserves credit... but these things are wasted on an entirely forgettable script, horrible pacing, extremely uncreative death scenes (which are few and far between), and an uneven soundtrack, all of which come together to form an unentertaining movie that could be a third of its length and still feel drawn out. Honestly, this may be the most stretched-out, plodding piece of cinema that I've ever seen, and it isn't helped by the abrupt ending that just leaves the viewer feeling entirely unsatisfied.

If I had to sum up The Wind in a word, that word would simply be 'boring', and that's the last thing a film like this should want to be. Ah well. They can't all be hits.

Slaughter High (1986)

7/10

A solid low-budget 80's slasher!

26 August 2021

If you're a fan of low-budget 80's slashers, Slaughter High is the movie for you. It's overflowing with so-bad-it's-good dialogue and acting, a classic slasher villain revenge story, a memorable and eerie setting, a striking score by the great Harry Manfredini, a uniquely masked killer played memorably by Simon Scuddamore (rest in peace), and brutal death scene after brutal death scene with fantastic gory low budget practical effects.

Of course, there are a few of the typical slasher cons to be found here - most notably some pacing issues, with a typical third act cat-and-mouse sequence that drags on for far, far too long... but overall, Slaughter High is a solid slasher flick that deserves to be remembered.

Without Warning (1980)

2/10

Just plain boring.

13 June 2021

Warning: Spoilers

First and foremost, I'd like to make it clear that I'm a huge fan of classic, low budget, lost gem horror movies. I don't expect anything special from films like Without Warning, and I don't go in with high expectations. Give me a cheesy alien, some gory/creative death scenes, and a decent handful of sci-fi/horror imagery, and I'll have a good time. Having read the other strangely positive reviews on here, I watched this expecting as much...

Unfortunately, Without Warning seems to go out of its way to NOT deliver on just about everything it promises. Is there a cool looking alien? Eh, it looks okay, but it only appears for the first time over 80 minutes into the 95 minute film - and, aside from one quick shot, it has only a single scene (the final scene) where it does little more than stand there for a couple of minutes. Sci-fi imagery? Well, the alien frisbees were a nice touch... until you get to the end of the film and realise they're the ONLY manner of attack the alien has, meaning the alien frisbees are literally the only sci-fi or "alien" thing we see in the whole movie, aside from the brief appearances of the alien itself in the final act. This means that when you see the first attack the film has to offer, you've already seen EVERY attack the film has to offer. Gory and varied death scenes? There are none. Sure, there are a couple of cool shots of dead bodies following off-screen kills... but ultimately there are only two on-screen death scenes in this entire movie (both in the last five minutes), one of which is carried out in exactly the same manner as every other attack in the film - the alien frisbees, which are just entirely dull, stale and overused at that point.

What this film ends up being is an alien hunter horror movie... where you hardly see the rather plain-looking alien at all during the entire runtime, with practically no on-screen deaths, no variety to any of the kills or attacks, minimal special effects throughout, a plodding and drawn out plot, and the same boring manner of "hunting" which is only interesting the first couple of times you see it before it quickly grows extremely dull. The film is basically 90% padding of characters going back and forth (whether in the forest, the nearby bar, or the abandoned house), with nothing happening that's of any interest, meaning that any tension or atmosphere the film might have to offer to make up for its faults is long gone before the film even reaches its halfway point.

This is not an exaggeration. Without Warning seems to deliberately go out of its way to not truly provide the viewer with what its premise promises, instead apparently trying to give you as little as possible of what you wanted from the movie when you decided to watch it. The result is a painfully dull movie that can't even earn the so-bad-it's-good label. It just doesn't try, and it truly is a bland, boring, uncreative watch that's a struggle to get through.

If you're wanting a low-budget 80s popcorn sci-fi/horror flick, there are countless movies out there that are far, far more worth your time. I'd suggest Galaxy of Terror, Forbidden World, and Creepozoids, just to name a few.

Consider this a warning.

Trapped Alive (1988)

3/10

So much wasted potential...

5 June 2021

The most frustrating thing about this film is that it had all the right pieces to be so much better. A creepy abandoned mine setting, a deformed cannibal hunting unsuspecting victims... but we end up with maybe five minutes of that promised premise at the most, with the film wasting 95% of its run time on multiple storylines of unrelated, unentertaining drama. It could have been up there as a classic, memorable slasher, had it done away with all the unnecessary filler in favour of bloody kills and more cannibal action, but unfortunately we're just left with a brief taste of what could have been in the end. The acting and production value are decent enough at least, but those things are wasted on a film as boring as this.

Wolf Creek: Wolf Creek (2016)

Season 1, Episode 6

7/10

A fairly strong (if occasionally cliche) finale!

5 January 2021

Warning: Spoilers

Overall, this was a fairly strong finale which, though leaving me with mixed feelings, delivered a generally satisfying conclusion.

Pros:

Great acting from all three main cast members. Though the writing wasn't always perfect, I was thoroughly convinced by all of their performances and dialogue.
A focused episode that kept the attention on the main plot without getting sidetracked. No episodes of this show were bad, but a few previous episodes went a tad off track at times. This one certainly didn't!
The music, pacing, and cinematography created a very tense and nail biting finale. The cat and mouse aspect was entertaining and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Cons:

Well, there's only one really, but it was a bit too much to ignore; the horror cliche of characters making out-of-character or rather stupid decisions just to drag things out - most obviously, leaving the villain when they aren't sure they're dead/not being certain to finish them off. I do not buy, for one second, that Eve wouldn't make absolutely sure that Mick was dead. This was already my biggest annoyance in the original movie (when Mick is left possibly alive halfway through), and it was frustrating to once again see this horror cliche happen. Leaving the villain alive by not making sure they're well and truly taken out, when the protagonist has the power to undoubtedly finish them off in their hands, just to leave the ending open for further sequels, is frustrating. I don't mind the ending not being a happy one; just don't make it contrived. And if you want to keep the villain alive for future additions to the franchise, don't use this already massively overused trope. It makes the protagonists look stupid, and leaves the viewer frustrated. (I also don't buy for a second that Mick's wounds weren't actually mortal anyway, but I could already see which path they were going down the moment they started to do it.)

As a whole, this finale could have been a 9 (or even a 10) were it not for the usual typical horror writing cliches. Still, it gets a pretty decent rating for all other aspects being strong and convincing. Definitely a show to recommend to horror fans, and it was always compelling from the first episode to the finale.

Wolf Creek: Rome (2016)

Season 1, Episode 5

8/10

Closing in for the finale...

5 January 2021

A more fast-paced episode - possibly the best yet alongside the first one - with plenty of action, heavy drama, and some seriously gruesome moments. This one was a nail biter at times for sure, and it really sets the scene well for the (I expect) grand finale. Eager to see how things pan out, especially after that gut-wrenching cliffhanger!

Warrior Queen (1987)

4/10

I'm not sure what I just watched...

5 January 2021

Where to begin? The "Warrior Queen" has basically no relevant part in the movie aside from disinterested brooding and maybe a single line of dialogue, the plot is entirely non-existent, and the choreographed fighting looks like bored rehearsals... yet somehow this movie is still frightfully entertaining. It truly defines "so bad it's good" but my god, it is a calamity of indescribable proportions. Everyone must watch this at least once in their lifetime.

Wolf Creek: Opalville (2016)

Season 1, Episode 4

7/10

A mostly strong episode with a few cracks.

5 January 2021

As a whole, a good episode. The main cast stays strong, and the plot is still fairly gripping.

My only significant criticism is how just about every secondary character is basically crazy. It's a tad unbelievable and cartoonish how pretty much everyone Eve comes across in the outback is borderline psychotic at best. It feels a tad forced, as though the writers were struggling to find ways to fill out six episodes and so they introduced a bunch of secondary "villains" as obstacles. Mick is the villain we're all watching this for, after all, and he's barely even in this one - a few scenes feel like they're wasting time.

On a positive note, Dustin Clare, Lucy Fry, and John Jarratt are all great in their roles. This show is a great example of how a strong cast can really knock a series up a notch. The writing leaves a little to be desired (mostly plot-related, not dialogue), but the acting, atmosphere, cinematography, and occasional bloody scenes keep it compelling. The cinematography and music work especially well together, and at times the show is almost hypnotic. While not perfect, Wolf Creek is definitely a better example of successfully keeping a horror franchise alive - something which fails more often than not nowadays.

Wolf Creek: Salt Lake (2016)

Season 1, Episode 3

8/10

Things are picking up...

4 January 2021

A lot happens in this episode. The show is finding ways to keep things fresh and exciting, with a few bloody moments and some well-acted drama. The dashes of humour are well placed, but the generally dark and eerie atmosphere stays strong and consistent. I'm hoping that all of the intertwining plots and character journeys end up meeting and being resolved in a satisfactory way!

Wolf Creek: Kutyukutyu (2016)

Season 1, Episode 2

7/10

Moves the story along nicely.

4 January 2021

A little slower than the first episode, and not quite so shocking, but enjoyable and moves the story along nicely. The acting remains strong, and the cast are all very fitting in their roles. The atmosphere is also a highlight of this show in general, especially with the scenic shots and eerie music.

A strong first episode that draws you in.

4 January 2021

Beautiful cinematography, strong acting, and a compelling episode overall with a few shocking moments. As both a fan of the original Wolf Creek film, and a fan of Dustin Clare since finishing Spartacus, this show was at the top of my to-watch list. A great eerie introduction to what promises to be a hooking show!

Blood Rage (1987)

5/10

A messy splatterfest.

1 January 2021

Pros: great gory practical effects and a retro 80s soundtrack.

Cons: poor acting and dialogue, the story is bare bones and almost non-existent, and the pacing is sporadic and jarring for the most of the film's runtime.

Overall, it's a directionless movie that drags and basically seems to exist solely for its death scenes. I guess that makes it a decent enough late night popcorn horror movie, but you'll end up struggling through a rather horrendous film just for a few decent gory moments. Maybe worth a single watch, but that's it.

Amazons (1986)

6/10

A fun 80s sword and sorcery flick.

31 December 2020

Exactly what it says on the tin. Overflowing with magic, boobs, and questionably choreographed sword fighting, this film has everything one would expect from an 80s sword and sorcery classic adventure. Once again, Roger Corman shines doing what he does best; making highly entertaining cheesy B-movies that serve as great popcorn watches with plenty of heart. My third favourite sword and sorcery flick, beaten only by Conan the Barbarian in first place and Deathstalker in second!
