Slugs (1988) ★★★
This was 80s horror fun in all it's zany glory. A goofy premise that somehow manages to deliver on the gore side and some fun, over the top kills. Pity this movie's Evan Stone did not get a more graphic kill. Needless to say, a bit of chemical waste is involved and the city is putting up a mall there, because of course they are. And it all ends with a spectacular finale and a bit of sequel bait. Hurray. Ps: Between this one and Alligator, there are a few films with sanitation people. Maybe Ray Patterson was more crooked than we all thought he was.

MAYBE I'LL COME HOME IN THE SPRING (1971). I saw this on its TV premiere while in Third Grade and really liked it, even if I didn't understand all that was going on. Runaway Sally Field returns home after deciding sleeping rough, panhandling, dumpster diving and watching her hippie Boyfriend freak out during a Drug episode (David Carradine would be the perfect choice for this) are not the best way to live. However, old tensions with her "square" parents and her younger sister don't always make things easy. Campy so many years from now, but has held up pretty well. Sally Field has long hair in the beginning and looks very much like a young Linda Ronstadt (who by coincidence, sings the theme song
 !). ***

Curfew (1989) ★★
This turned out to be a crossover between a poor man's Cape Fear and Of mice and evil men. With some teenage drama to*boot. It went through pretty much all the clichés, with no memorable kills. A lot of dull machetes. Pun intended.* The only thing going for it is that I have seen worse. And it makes for good material for a Cinema*Snob-episode.

Cat’s Eye (1985) ★★½
A trilogy of Stephen King short stories that shows one thing. When Stephen King-adaptations hit the mark, they are brilliant and when they don't, they are pretty silly. This one was more on the silly*side. Not that it was all bad. The final story - with a very young Drew Barrymore - had a good build up and the scene on the ledge was kind of intense. And I wonder if the second story featured an uncredited cameo by Jamie*Farr.

Bloodbath at the House of Death (1984) ★★★★
Bloodbath at the House of Death was a brilliant British horror comedy with a good concept, laugh out loud moments and good kills. With characters that would not be out of place in Clue and a tone later returning in the Scary Movie*franchise. The kills look good (with the tin opener kill being my personal favorite), but even there, the focus was noticably more on the humor than on the horror and the*scariness. As a comedy, it genuinely works with a fair share of laugh out loud moments. Wether it's with the nod to Alien or the 12 days of Christmas parody. And a few others. And a partridge in a pear tree.

Hellraiser (1987) ★★★★
During the premiere, Clive Barker's mother felt tears well up when his name appeared on the screen. His response: things only go downhill from here,*mum. And it sure did. With gore and sadism and bondage, S&M, backstabbing and deceipt. A classic in the monster/gore genre. Simple as that. You opened it, we*came. Sometimes, that's all you*need.
