"Sneak Previews" The Promise, The Prisoner of Zenda, Saint Jack, Alien, Battlestar Galactica, The Brood, The Passage (TV Episode 1979) - Roger Ebert as Self - Host

Himself - Host : [Roger on 'The Brood'] My dog this week is 90 minutes of bewildering boredom followed by 15 minutes of nauseating child monsters. It's called 'The Brood'. Oliver Reed stars as a weird scientist who runs something called The Institute for Psychoplasmics. His patients create these bodies outside of themselves and control them through sheer mindpower and his sickest patient, Samantha Eggar, has started giving birth to inhuman little clones. They're just disgusting little demons who run around in snowsuits and hammer first grade teachers to death. Well, she's given birth to about a dozen of these creatures before her husband catches on, he... doesn't catch on real quick, and then there's a bloody and a reprehensible conclusion. Why do so many horror movies take kids and turn them into monsters? Maybe its because they're too small to fight back.
Himself - Host : [Roger on 'The Promise'] 'The Promise', rated PG, was an overwrought melodrama about two lovers who were strangers when they met again. And Gene and I voted 'No', we can't recommend that you see it.
