Rish Outfield's reviews
This isn't exactly a slasher, or exactly a monster movie, or exactly anything we've seen before, although it features vampires, maniacs, werewolves, aliens, zombies, and other varied horrors. It was also very very gory! And it's nice to see Zach Galligan working again--I was a fan as a kid. Also, that dwarf that answers the door is pretty cool. I also like to see David Warner, Bobby from "Twin Peaks," and John Rhys Davies appears as a werewolf, and I'm a big fan of his even today. The story is very interesting, the villains are truly nasty, and the set pieces are terrific. It's not really scary, however. The blonde in this movie is GORGEOUS, but her potential is wasted. What I meant was, she dressed in clingy, revealing outfits, and yet, never took her clothes off. I realise that will offend people, but it's something we've come to expect from movies like this, and I was disappointed and frustrated by the teasing promise (look at it this way: have you ever seen the Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade package that has Indy on the back warding off a large tarantula off his arm? When I saw that, I thought, "Wow! A new scene that wasn't in the version I have!" But when I got the film home, no such scene was included. The package advertised something that was never delivered on). The thing I liked least was Deborah Foreman (from April Fool's Day)'s sick obsession with sado-masochism. It creeped me out, and made me just want to kick the crap out of her. But I guess she would have liked that. I mean, she WANTED to die--what was up with that? (I think this was the film that inspired us to add What the Hell as a category).
Best Scare: Jeez, I don't remember. The werewolf thing was cool.
I'd Recommend It To: A lot of folks without enormous expectations.

The tyranist's thoughts
We managed to pick up the unrated version of this. For the life of me I can't tell what had to be cut to make it R. This has a relatively quiet plot that is stuffed with over-the-top gore at just the right moments. It isn't scary, but some of the death effects are great. The biggest plus is David Warner as the bad guy. When you first sit down to watch the movie pay attention to the beginning, they will explain it later. I had all but forgotten it by the time they got around to telling us and it turned out to be a semi-key plot point.
