Scared Stiff (1987)
for practical horror effects fans

This movie has a wild variety of practical and early computer effects. It is certainly over the top at times, and some probably laugh at it as a result, but I found it a pleasure to watch. The opening in the slave market sets the tone that we are in for something different. Yes, the male lead is bland as hell but the mom and kid do a pretty good job for a movie of this budget.
The final 30 minutes really ramps up and I kept saying "whoa!" out loud as things got wackier and wilder by the minute.
I've seen so many crappy movies getting reissued these last few years that it's always refreshing to actually see something that people put a lot of effort into.
