Movie Reviews

Slasherpool - 8/10 by Andreas SamuelsonAn underrated 80s horror flick with great special effects, good cast, thankfully simple plot, and a nice mood
User Review - 10/10 by Scott PAn old favorite Vampire soap opera. Without all the blood and gore you'd expect in alot of vampire films, this is a clean one. It has blood whenever needed but doesn't over-do it. Dramatic and beautiful story.
User Review - 10/10 by Jason DThe Kindred is an amazing little gem I discovered finally (still wanting to kick myself for passing it over all these years) that combines elements of The Thing and From Beyond, two of my all-time favorite horror films, thus making The Kindred one of my new favorites. The Kindred built itself as an above average horror film that starred two highly celebrated actors: the scene-stealing Rod Steiger (whom I always thought had a soft spot for B-grade horror/sci-fi films after staring in the likes of End of Days, American Gothic, and The Amityville Horror) and the all-too brief appearance of Kim Hunter (most notably known from her work as Zira in some of the Planet of the Apes films). In actuality, the film focused more so on the character of John, a celebrated doctor of medicine and science whose long comatose mother (Hunter) awakens to warn him to go back to their old house to destroy all of her work and his brother Anthony, before she is killed off by Steiger's character. Clearly confused, John embarks on a trip to the old home along with his girlfriend, another doctor, played by the beautiful Amanda Pays (Leviathan), and some of his assistants. Rather than destroying the work, the team works to try and discover what John's mother was working on, but they're not alone in that house as we soon discover. The house is inhabited by a large mutated force, equipped with claws, tentacles, razor sharp teeth, and enough goo to slime the entire cast. Directors (and writers, among several other people) Jeffrey Obrow and Stephen Carpenter (both of whom made their debut on the surprisingly grim and bloody slasher The Dorm That Dripped Blood, or Pranks as most people know it as) manage to create an effects-laden, character driven, monster movie that is genuinely fun, entertaining, and sometimes creepy. Much like Pranks, the characters are developed very nicely to the point where you feel for them, and unlike Pranks, the body count is surprisingly low (though the deaths that DO happen are nice and violent), leading to a surprisingly-large group of survivors, which I thought couldn't have happened to a better group of characters. The effects, mind you, are dated compared to today's CGI-obsessed world, but these are the very effects I grew up on: prosthetics, animatronics, puppety, actual visible things that are really there and not fabricated on a computer. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this film. It REALLY needs to find a home on DVD. Terrific horror film.
User Review - 10/10 by Ben HTons of slimey monster guts and great creature effects. reminds me of a Brian Yuzna or Stuart Gordon type of movie. The plot is a little hard to follow at first but at the end it all makes sense. Very under rated monster movie!
User Review - 10/10 by Ben EThis movie was one of my first horror movies. I love the meltdown sequence when you see destruction and slime and thunder and lightning in the background. And the eerieness of the music makes it even better. The meltdown sequence includes the monster melting into a man. The opening music gets points for its dark moody eerieness. I also like the watermelon scene. I think Dr Lloyd got what he deserved in the end. However the woman transforming into a fish scene did not interest me. But all in all it is very good.
User Review - 8/10 by John Bbeen looking for this movie for so long. seen it when i was young, and i want to see it again. good memories.
User Review - 8/10 by Peter HNice to see a bit of blood and gore in a film, this has it, acting not too bad either, and good to see Kim Hunter (Planet of the Apes) in this.
User Review - 6/10 by David DOkay horror movie. Some hammy acting (Steiger), some non-acting (Pays), some icky special effects. Not particularly scary, but not awful.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael TIshy but effective FX highlight this 1980s thriller.
User Review - 6/10 by I have Riboflavin flavored blood80s horror film about a kid and his deformed brother that was created in a lab
