Last post by FatFreddysCat - Today at 02:02:27 AM"Thunder of Gigantic Serpent" (1988)
Terrorists steal a formula that causes plants and animals to increase in size, but lose it during a firefight with the police. The formula is discovered by a young girl who feeds it to her pet snake, aaaand... you can probably figure out the rest.
...a poorly dubbed, haphazardly edited slice of Hong Kong giant monster junk, "directed" (and I use that term loosely) by the legendary Godfrey Ho, who apparently took the monster footage from a Taiwanese film called "King Snake" and shot the rest of the terrorist storyline to fit his needs.
The only other Godfrey Ho film I've seen is "Robo Vampire," and while "Serpent" was better than that, it's still faint praise.
AVOID unless you have fondness for Z-grade junk.

Spectre(1977)
https://youtu.be/QU_yg13NxiM?si=LSMh32eLu2bOL3hf
Robert Culp & Gig Young as demon hunters...
So, Young shows up to an old friend's house... A woman conducting black magic is ignoring the doorbell until she's finished, then takes him to see Culp.... Culp is a former criminologist turned cultist who needs help with a case in London.... Young is the skeptic.... Then the young woman who hired them shows up.... She tries coming onto Culp, but he manages to exercise a demon disguised as the client....
They fly to London & then start discussing demons as the plane malfunctions.... They get to London & stop to see an old friend, only to find him dead with his house on fire...
The get to the mansion of their client, who's older brother has staffed it entirely with attractive young women & the décor is all about hedonism & blasphemy.... The client herself is a prude....
Things get weirder.....
This is one of those movies I saw as a kid, & then spent years trying to remember what it was....
Intended as a TV pilot, it maintains a fast pace in the first hour, & then starts with the investigating & reveals later....

Last post by M.10rda - September 05, 2026, 09:33:26 PMThat's a pretty good one! It was written and directed by the Duffer Brothers, the guys behind "Stranger Things". I thought the twist was... fine. But up until the twist, the movie is super-tense and well-made.

Reader Comments / Re: Solarbabies
Last post by shandray - September 05, 2026, 07:33:41 PMI created an account here to tell you all, 13-20 years after this thread was created, that they NAMED ME Shandray AFTER THIS MOVIE.
Imagine having to explain this.
Eventually, I shortened it enough to just say, "I was named after an evil scientist who burns to death because she steals a child's alien orb."
First dates? Meeting the parents? New job? This movie will never let me go.

Last post by indianasmith - September 05, 2026, 07:16:30 PMHIDDEN (2015) - Alexander Skarsgard stars in this gripping post-zombie apocalypse movie.
Ray, his wife Claire, and their nine year old daughter Zoe are living a tenuous existence in an underground shelter, with a rapidly dwindling food supply, hiding from the scourge of subhumans that they only call "the breathers." For over 300 days they have lived underground, subsisting on canned food, keeping a strict regimen of silence so that "the breathers" don't find their hiding place. But then one day a fire, caused by an overturned lamp, sends enough smoke out through the vent to reveal their hiding place, and the "breathers" come after them . . .
This is a brilliantly acted film with a twist at the end I never saw coming. HIGHLY recommended! 4.5/5
