It is a great film. It also goes under the title Night Warning but I prefer the original name. : )

Watched Slithis (aka Spawn of the Slithis, 1977) again last night. Anyone who likes cheapo eco-horror with aquatic mutant beasties will love this movie. I know I do. Some of the most bizarre performances I've ever seen in this type of flick and a few scenes and characters (Seductive boat owning Romeo??? Insanely over the top lieutenant???) that stand out because they are hilariously bad.

Not for all audiences, but if you dig that 1970's drive-in super crap as much as I do, Slithis is a must see.

Deadly Blessing
 

The Last 80's film I saw was Wes Craven's Deadly Blessing (1981) and in my opinion it wasn't very good, now Wes Craven is one of my favorite Directors but this wasn't one of his best works, it was slow and drawn out way to long but I will give it this it had a creepy feel to the whole movie which was nice but over all it was slow and drawn out which is allot coming from me because i love older films.

rating: 1.5/5 stars

Argento's Animal Trilogy, 9/10 overall score. I gotta see if there is a box set of these films.


The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, 1970.







Four Flies on Grey Velvet, 1971.






The Cat O'Nine Tales, 1971

Celebrated Dario Argento's birthday with a double feature of..

Suspiria and Tenebre.

CHOSEN SURVIVORS (1974). Thought this awesome 40 years ago and still not bad with a good premise and lots of TV actors. Nuclear Holocaust survivors are in an underground bunker crawling with vampire bats. Runs out of gas halfway through, but still worth seeing with a lot of scenes/setups that made me think the people behinds ALIENS must have checked it out. ***

Batman (1989)
Not necessarily a horror flick but it is directed by Tim Burton. Back when his work was good yet. Grew up with this movie, it's been a favorite of mine before I can remember, I was happy to watch it with my girlfriend at long last. Thank you Netflix!

COUNT DRACULA (1977). Although there are some liberties taken with source material, this BBC presentation is pretty damn good with atmosphere and spooky scenes. If nothing else, it's probably THE most faithful version of Stoker's novel.
I think the only way you could really give DRACULA the full fledged treatment would be to have it in installments like THE LORD OF THE RINGS films...perhaps Peter Jackson could try it and erase the memory of his well intentioned but lacking KING KONG. ****

Messiah of Evil. 1973. 7/10

Really under rated movie. Some very memorable death scenes and the atmosphere is enough to fool you into thinking youre watching a film made in Italy.
