| User ReviewAndy Cnot seen it since i was a kid, but love this movie and need a copy! |
| User ReviewPrivate UIn retrospect the greatest movie ever made. Cant beleive i got rid of it. I was young and needed the money............. to get an even crappier horror |
| User ReviewBruce Bfun slice of 1980s cheese. Lots of fromage with this flick. It was very fun though. I enjoyed it a lot. A monster movie mixed with some slasher elements so it's a little of both. And of course, unintentional comedy. The skillful acting of Allan Hayes stole the show. You may remember Allan Hayes from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. He played Paul, the dude that got stabbed in the weenie with a speargun after finding the hot Judie Aronson naked & dead in Crystal Lake. He plays the lead here as Steven & is likeable despite not too great acting. The score to this movie is hilarious. It's so 1980s. And the bands that played during the climax, The Outlaws & Jaded, were also pretty hilarious. The Outlaws were Steven's band & were a pop/rock band. Jaded was a metal band with a flaming singer. The battle of the bands never got decided but I'm going with The Outlaws because Allan Hayes is a rock n roll love machine. The Neon Maniacs were pretty cool. My favourites were Doc(Andrew Divoff), Soldier, Punk Biker, & Samurai. Punk Biker had this cool fight with a biker kid in the park. The biker kid actually kicks his ass some only for Punk Biker to snap his leg. Haha. It had a fair share of gore but nothing really over the top. Two arm chops, an ugly girl getting decapitated, an arrow to the back of the head through the mouth, a slit throat, & Doc performing open heart surgery on a fat security guard...or was it the janitor? My only gripe with this is that it didn't have any type of origin for the Maniacs. They were just kind of there. We never knew how they came to be or anything. We just know that they come out at night & that water hurts them. I guess it's up to our imaginations. Pick this one up if you like fun 1980s horror movies & have an open mind. If you're expecting something like Casablanca....just go out & buy Casablanca. PS This movie also features the asshole cop from Boyz N The Hood that gave Tre & Ricky shit although they didn't do anything. He plays...a cop that is riding Paula's bike. He gets killed but sadly it's off screen. |
| User ReviewLeslie DAlways enjoy this silly but fun monster romp. They are like the X-Men of horror acting like Gremlins. Love the battle of the bands bit. Pure 80s cheese. |
| User ReviewBlais EIncomprehensible, incoherent slime-stew featuring a creepy cadre of kooky-costumed cretins who emerge from underneath the Golden Gate Bridge (?) to indiscriminately slaughter the teen citizenry of San Francisco! Oddball, almost indescribable in its bizarre, yet-strangely fascinating ineptness. After some lengthy (And rather pointless) character exposition, it is revealed that these strange assassins are easily dispatched of with water. Then why in the Hoo-Hah do they live under the GG Bridge? Nothing is ever explained about the who, what, why, where, when, & how of these Hoodlum-Hackers, but perhaps that's what makes the film so freakishly compelling to me! I can't explain it, but I enjoy this wacky little tick-turd--a true guilty pleasure! |
| User ReviewKevin Boften concidered one of the worst movies of alltime, fuck that I love it! |
| User ReviewLuigi Rclassic 80's horror movie. Right down to the leading man singing in the band at the dance, and a Corey Feldman type character (played by Donna Locke) who happens to be an amateur ghostbuster (she even kind of looks like Corey...). |
| User Reviewken jO.k, this movie really stuck in my brain from my childhood. I first saw this on the USA networks old program "Saturday nightmare's" which aired before the infamous "UP All Night". This program introduced me too many classic Horror movies at the ripe 'ol age of 8. This is a classic, cheesy B-rated masterpiece from the 80's. Check it out!! |
| User ReviewRachel Cso bad its great..never seen a film with such crazy monsters since..hilarious |
| User ReviewR.John XOkay. Let me get a couple things straight. This movie is going to put a bunch of monsters who steam and bubble and melt when hit with water, even the piss squirts of 1980s five and dime squirt guns, in the middle of San Francisco? Where you can get pretty soaked just from the fast moving fog that comes in every other day? Really? Secondly. Natalie has a pool in her backyard. And spends a considerable amount of part of the movie sun bathing or floating in her pool. No one in San Francisco has a backyard pool Why? Because of the fog and cold temperatures. In fact, people walk around in the summer with snow parkas on. Why? They are cold. The Manaics, themselves, have a couple creepy scenes. Especially while lurching around the battle of the bands school hallway scenes. But otherwise, are simply idiots. I guess it was an attempt to start a franchise? Either way, they need some back story, then, or at least an explanation. Not just Halloween costumes gone gooey. I am not even sure why they are Neon. Though living inside the Golden Gate bridge is sort of clever. |
