I've been on a losing streak lately with the rentals:

"Savage Weekend" -- Very little sense to be made of this one.  Ugly people having sex and being killed.  Predictable (aren't they all) slasher with dud ending.  1 1/2 slimes just because it's not "Pigs."

"Don't Answer the Phone" -- My personal choice for the worst of all the movies beginning with the word "Don't."  No fun, with mean-spirited rape jokes that make "I Spit on Your Grave" look tame.  1 2/3 slimes just because it's not "Savage Weekend."

"Dolly Dearest" -- "Child's Play" + "The Exorcist," and Chucky's a girl.  Rip Torn and Denise Crosby (who everybody knows from Star Trek, but her real good work is "The Eliminators") have some good lines.....Denise: "I'm not going to lose my daughter to a goddamn 900 year old goat head!"
Otherwise pretty standard fare.  2 slimes .

"American Gothic" -- What?  Weirdo backwoods family.  Annoying Yankees on a trip.  Dead Yankees.  I will note, however, that "The Remains of the Day" may have lifted the final shot of this movie.  Not that you should waste your time discovering what I'm talking about.  2 slimes.

I must make better selections........

I remember seeing AMERICAN GOTHIC. Late 80's film. Not bad. Couldn't you give it one more slime?

Well, maybe it was my mood, but it just didn't appeal to me.  Rod Steiger was pretty fun; the demented family was fun, but none of the "victims" were fun.  I didn't feel sympathetic to any of them.  I like "Dolly Dearest" better even.....I dunno, it just didn't have the heart that I like to see in bad movies, y'know?
