- DirectorStan LathanStarsRae Dawn ChongGuy DavisJon ChardietAn aspiring DJ from the South Bronx and his best friend, a promoter, try to get into show business by exposing people to hip-hop music and the local culture.I remember the whole cinema being jam packed full of b-boys & me and I guess we enjoyed it at the time because of course it was speaking to us, but it didn't do the world of breakers justice as the storyline was weak. They should have done another story which spoke to the teenagers, they're not interested in the lovey dovey stuff. Saying that it did incorporate all the areas of this time which was okay I guess. The shouldn't have made it a love story, this is what spoiled the film The soundtrack was the best thing ever though.
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsCatriona MacCollDavid WarbeckCinzia MonrealeA young woman inherits an old hotel in Louisiana where, following a series of supernatural "accidents", she learns that the building was built over one of the entrances to Hell.Typical Italian horror of that era. There is a real phobic moment which went on for longer than usual which was kinda sweet and the film was quite eerie in some scenes but the gun handler was the stupidest person ever!!!
- DirectorBob BalabanStarsRandy QuaidMary Beth HurtSandy DennisA young boy living in 1950s suburbia suspects that his parents are cannibalistic murderers.Bizarre, murderous and cannibalistic film told in a sweet, Pleasantville, housewives way and it was cool for the 80's. Very disciplined for the young boy actor to not smile for the whole film. No great shocks but that would have spoiled the essence of the film. Still decent to watch 20+ years later.
- DirectorJoe DanteStarsDee WallacePatrick MacneeDennis DuganAfter a bizarre and near deadly encounter with a serial killer, a television newswoman is sent to a remote mountain resort whose residents may not be what they seem.Blaming her freezing on set on (not) being pregnant, such a male thing to say back then, priceless. Transforming during relations was a nice touch but there was a point where the Werewolf looked like the Joker and she, when transforming looked like a cross between a furball and a cute Chewbacca. It ended well but there was too much chat albeit the back story okay. I was more a Werewolf in London fan than this.
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsTisa FarrowIan McCullochRichard JohnsonStrangers searching for a young woman's missing father arrive at a tropical island where a doctor desperately seeks the cause and cure of a recent epidemic of the undead.And we're back to freaky sounds and bad make-up, you gotta love these old horrors. (I say this cause I haven't watched one in a while.) It's kind of a hybrid of the original Haitian zombie and cannibal movies, proper old skool. Nasty situation the diver got in to, zombie merman, that was a good plot diversion. There is in fact a lot I could say about this but it would be unfair judging it in this age. It was jokes and I enjoyed. Good nostalgia.
- DirectorRobert WiseStarsJames OlsonArthur HillDavid WayneTop scientists work feverishly in a secret, state-of-the-art laboratory to discover what killed the citizens of a small town and how the deadly contagion can be stopped.From discovery through to very personal decontamination I was confused even though I saw it from the start. I think the decontamination part went on for so long I lost sight although I totally understand why and appreciated that. The science part was very informative but again they concentrated too much on one area for most of the film.
