  • Prince of Darkness

    Invasion of the Daemonic Alien Physical Esoteric Scientific Body Snatchers. A diminished Carpenter posse, it lacks a charismatic character to elevate it to Big Trouble in Little China.

  • The Thing

    Hot damn, this is intense. “Show, don’t tell is” taken pretty far here, most exposition is replaced with body horror instead. High octane paranoia, relentless from the opening shot with the escaping “dog” to the final explosions.

  • Christine

    So much modernity in ‘83. Radio-activated garage doors. 20 years old cars are “classics”. Self-Driving cars, powered by soul-sucking entities that demand you change your personality to conform to their ideals. A bit more bodycount than the Tesla “Autopilot”.

  • Escape from L.A.

    The anarchist’s cookfilm.
