Night of the Creeps- Alien brain parasites, entering
humans through the mouth, turn their host into a killing zombie. Some teenagers
start to fight against them. I remember this
movie from the VHS days because it had a great trailer on other horror movies but
I never got around to seeing it until a few years ago at the first Dismember
the Alamo. It is a really fun horror
comedy and the great Tom Atkins steals the show. I ordered this new edition from Scream
Factory at the beginning of the year and it was delayed so I was glad to get
this last weekend. Thrill me!
Dumbo- A young elephant,
whose oversized ears enable him to fly, helps save a struggling circus, but
when the circus plans a new venture, Dumbo and his friends discover dark
secrets beneath its shiny veneer. This
movie came and went rather quick and kind of flopped at the box office but my
wife loves Dumbo so we will give it a spin soon. Has Tim Burton lost it?
Lost Highway- After a
bizarre encounter at a party, a jazz saxophonist is framed for the murder of
his wife and sent to prison, where he inexplicably morphs into a young mechanic
and begins leading a new life. As I mentioned last week I am not into David
Lynch movies (Love Joe Lynch movies though!) so I am not interested in this but
but I am enjoying the pissing match going on between Lynch and the studio releasing
this, Kino Lorber. Lynch has publicly criticized
the release saying it was made from old elements and not from a restoration of
the original negative, so he has crapped all over this release. Kino responded today saying the director was originally
on board with this but then became disinterested so they could not use the
original without his permission. They
even delayed the release hoping he would get back to them, but he gave them the
Heisman so they carried on with their planned release. Criterion will probably release a Lynch approved
edition in the future so buyer beware.
The Beast in Heat- This
is a fictionalized World War 2 Nazi POW camp atrocitiy. A beautiful, nefarious
senior female SS officer/doctor creates a genetic, mutant human Beast (half
man/half beast). The Beast is a sex fiend which she uses to torture and molest
female prisoners while the Nazis watch. The vertically challenged beast is kept
on a diet of mega-aphrodisiacs. Sound like some good, fun Italian horror!
