Dark Night of the Scarcrow 2 is a sequel to the 1981 cult classic made-for-television movie and stars Amber Wedding, Adam Snyder, Carol Dines and Aiden Shurr and is out on Blu-ray and DVD May 10th
One Dark Night isn’t a great movie but as supernatural-horror goes, which I’m generally not a big fan of, it’s fairly entertaining and features some impressive make-up effects and a solid finale.
The House on Sorority Row isn’t a great horror with no real surprises and the gore isn’t anything special, kind of falls in the middle of those slashers from the early 1980s. Performance from the lead on the other hand wasn’t bad and it is at least watchable.
The Bloodfight/Ironheart Double Feature from MVD through their “Rewind Collection” touts it has “2 Bolo Yeung Classics” and while he’s in both of the movies, they are minor roles. Beyond that, neither movie is very good.
Split Second is a sometimes cheesy, even messy, low budget cross between science fiction, buddy cop comedy and horror that works thanks to Rutger Hauer’s committed performance and at least some interesting cinematography copying the aesthetics from Blade Runner.
Nathalie is a sleazy film for sure with horrible dubbing and a thin plot, yet still found it semi-tolerable with Patrizia Gori being easy on the eyes and at least Jacqueline Laurent was hilariously bad with her cackling.
Dark River is a very well acted British-drama with some beautiful cinematography showcasing the North Yorkshire countryside and features a great performance from Ruth Wilson.
The Nemesis sequel trilogy set is three pretty poor movies, not that the first film was some gem, however these movies don’t have much charm to them.
Double Dragon is a bad yet still cheesy movie that screams 1990s with its style and direction, not to mention some over-the-top performances. I didn’t exactly hate this movie but it was hard to sit through at times.
Nemesis is certainly not a very well made movie. The action is frenetic at best, performances on the over-the-top scale, though it did have some adorably bad visual effects.
Out of Time is a serviceable suspense-thriller mainly for the charisma of its cast, primarily Denzel Washington and to some extent, Eva Mendes, as well as John Billingsley in the comedy relief role.
Diamonds of Kilimanjaro is a poorly made yet still incredibly captivating for how bad the movie was with some questionable acting and the cheap production value, at least the ladies don’t look too bad.
Autumn in New York is your run-of-the-mill romance-drama that you’ve seen before and has been done over the years since and although both Richard Gere and Winona Ryder give solid performances, neither shared great chemistry with the other.
Blast is a dumb 1997 action-thriller that had the potential to be the right kind of ‘bad’ movie and instead it was just plain bad, from the poor acting, the terrible writing (both in terms of story and dialogue) to the direction.
While John Little’s documentary probably could’ve used some better editing, perhaps from a more experienced traditional director, there’s no doubt the passion is there for Lee.
