Title: What I've seen lately Post by: Will on May 18, 2003, 04:58:23 PM I Married a Monster From Outer Space
Retread of the Kevin McCarthy version of Body Snatchers, except with incredibly ugly and untalented cast members. Needless to say, the horror was much more horrifying. 3 slimes. Astro-Zombies Hadn't seen this one in years, and now I remember why. Afterwards I felt like I had just downed a bottle of robitussin. Not that I would know what that feels like, but I hear it makes you woozy and nauseous. 1 slime. Necronomicon: The Book of the Dead The Brian Yuzna anthology flick....Yuzna's episode was the best of the three, along with his wraparound stuff of J. Combs as Lovecraft reading the book. 3 slimes (would be two, but some of the gore made me happy) House of 1000 Corpses I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the camera tricks were at times too music-video for me, but for the most part, I think it was part of the film's atmosphere: disorienting and off-putting. Mosely, Haig, Black, and Otis from Henry? Michael J. Pollard? YES. Seeing Sheri Moon's ass a few times and that shot of the hick cop getting killed were priceless. 3 1/2 slimes.

Do you mean the 1958 movie or maybe a newer version? I sort of like this old film. The alien suit is neat, though rubbery. Plus, for some reason the only way to kill the aliens is to sic a dog on them. The "little wife" gave a good performance at times. Funny allegory for a normal marriage at the time if you look at it as such. > Astro-Zombies > Hadn't seen this one in years, and now I remember why. > Afterwards I felt like I had just downed a bottle of > robitussin.

And don't forget the whole stupid power bit, with the astro-zombie stumbling around and finally putting a flashlight to its head. Egad.

He was actually quite proud of the flashlight on the solar panel bit. I wondered why you'd make a movie monster that mostly operates at night, indoors, and in the shadows solar-powered.

Still, I love the flick! Glad you've seen it. Title: Re: What I've seen lately Post by: Johnny Blister on May 20, 2003, 09:13:01 PM Hey Andrew:are you gonna review"House of 1000 Corpses"in this site?
