Was looking up a personal childhood favorite of mine last night on the IMDB. I'm sure a lot of you remember the Richard Grieco spy flick "If Looks Could Kill". I watched it over and over as a child and I believe I might still have it on video somewhere.
I was looking at the different credits on the site and noticed that Fred Dekker wrote the screenplay. I knew the name from somewhere, and after a little searching realized that it's the same Fred Dekker that wrote the fantastic "Night Of The Creeps"! This guy is a pure genius when it comes to bmovies!
Seems really weird to find something from my childhood tied to my current love of bad movies. Maybe the film corrupted me at a young age and has somehow influenced my taste in films...or maybe it's 2:30 AM and I'm rambling....probably the second one.
It sounds like it rightfully did,since those pea-brained critics never get the clue to why B movies are so damn popular.
"If Looks Could Kill" is an interesting mix of the different style of both the ex-"21 Jump Street"'er/bad B movie star,and the lomg missing,decent filmmaker of a handful of overlooked genre classics("The Monster Squad","Robocop 3","Night Of The Creeps"),even though it's not one of my favorites(I'm glad to see that it has its own fans,though).
Monster Squad!Now thier's a movie I look forward to seeing on DVD soon.:o)
