I dig B-movies, horror and sci-fi. Dazzling practical effects, solid soundtracks, cheap thrills and general weirdness.

    Class of 1984

    ★★★

    It’s a punksploitation flick that  ramps up onto areas I wasn’t expecting and becomes a teachers vs students revenge film. It got very dark and really took me by surprise it went so far. It’s dated and it’s offensive but it’s 1984 so it was of the time. Teenage Head is in it so that’s a big plus.

    Tripped out psychedelic Penis parasite goes on an entertaining killing spree. It’s the trashy  sleazy NYC punks n junkies story for the ages.

    Really bad video game adaptation with a few ok kills and some low budget gore. The story is a vampire revenge snoozefest mixed with romance and boredom. The action shots are so shakey with far too many fast camera cuts (to hide the low budget and poor stunt work). It also has one of the worst sex scenes Ive ever seen. The dialogue is delivered with high school drama class level enthusiasm. Could be a “so bad it’s good” kinda movie if you enjoy that.

    H.p Lovecraft re-imagined in the best way possible!  Lots of laughs, lots of gore lots of obsession! A great love story mixed with a mad scientist hell bent on re-animation!  Herbert West is so obsessed with bringing the dead back to life but he has total disregard for anyone and basically goes on a  murderous rampage.
