Play Dead 1983 ★★½
A silly eighties slasher with a goofy premise, and a... gooood boy.
While the kills and the idea of the possessed rottie were silly and stupid, I did appreciate the Child's Play-like creativity that they displayed. After all, having Greta bite them would just blow the cover.
Second star for the Child's Play qualities. Also half star for how the ungrateful master/animal abuser gets her cumuppance.
To be enjoyed with snacks and a spliff.
Beetlejuice 1988 ★★★★★
Burton at his best with this outrageous mix of morbid and twisted humor. Supported by an amazing score by Danny Elfman, not to mention that stellar cast. Though for some reason I thought it was a different Baldwin playing Adam.
Five stars across the board. Day-oh!
