Predator: Badlands

Probably the most violent family friendly film to come out this year, with plenty of alien goo and synthetic blood on display. Dan Trachtenberg's hot streak continues.

8.5/10

Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc

Man, my boy Denji can never catch a break. Showcases how confusing and exciting young love can be amidst thrilling sequences of hyperviolence. Iris Out is a TUNE.

7.5/10

Frankenstein (2025)

Andrew Garfield dropping out was the best thing to happen to this film, because Jacob Elordi absolutely knocks it out of the park. Gorgeous looking movie, digital Netflix sheen be damned.

8.5/10

KOLCHACK THE NIGHT STALKER : THE WEREWOLF ( 1974)





Returning to 1970s TV Horror , I stopped to watch another of Kolchack's adventures, this time on a cruise line , where Werewolf is ravaging the passengers and the ship's crew.

Colossus : The Forbin Project and Daytime Soap Legend, Eric Braeden , guest stars as the moody, and volatile Werewolf , as Darren McGavin's Kolchack , has to fight the ship's Captain, and a allude an single woman looking for love , on a dating cruise.

The episode is hysterical , while at the same time, the fight scenes are actually pretty good .

While they clearly don't have the money to pull off an expensive Werewolf get up, the episode is nevertheless, entertaining , and Darren McGavin has a way of cracking me up with just a look that he gives and a line delivery.

Another solid , fun, and entertaining adventure in the Kolchack Canon.

Airing on Halloween in 1974 , A Song by Bad Company was in the top ten.

The fiance picked last night, so she chose:

Wasn't that bad
JLC was clearly having a ball, and Manny Jacinto and Julia Butters also gave solid performances (Jacinto's dodgy English accent aside)
Had all the Very Important Life Lessons (TM) one would expect from a movie of this type, but not in a super painful Disney TV kinda way. I was also impressed it looked like Lohan actually learned to play the guitar part for the end.
So, not bad for what it was, 7/10

Nightmare (AKA Nightmares in a Damaged Brain ~ 1981)

American 'psychological slasher', directed by Romano Scavolini.

Convicted murderer George Tatum (Baird Stafford) has spent years in a mental hospital after being diagnosed with a whole range of psychological disorders, After undergoing an experimental treatment to 'reprogram' his brain and turn him into an upstanding citizen, he is released (for the record, two minutes with this guy would tell any sane person not to release him) - on the condition that he continue his treatment as an outpatient. However, a visit to a Times Square 'peep show' soon has George drooling and slobbering (not for the usual reasons) and generally freaking out. This awakens memories/flashbacks of a violent murder of a man and woman engaged in an S&M sex session. Next thing you know George does a bunk from NY and goes on a murderous road-trip (to Florida - for reasons which become apparent). As George embarks on his killing spree, his psychiatrist and a shady figure known only as 'Man with Cigar' (who's been overseeing George's treatment) frantically try to track him down before word gets out that they've 'lost him'.

This was one of the most notorious of the 'video nasties'. It's gory, to be sure, with graphic axe murders, throat slashings, garrottings, and a lot of stabbing - but the main reason for its notoriety is that two UK distributors actually went to jail. When the BBFC viewed the film (it was originally submitted for big screen release) they demanded 48 seconds of cuts. Instead, the distributors released it - uncut - straight-to-video. The film was prosecuted for violation of the Obscene Publications Act (director Scavolini's background up to that point was largely in hardcore pornography, hence the mount of sex/nudity and the (very fitting) overall tone of sleaziness), and the distributors were sentenced to 18 months and 9 months imprisonment, respectively (tough for them - but great publicity for the film).

Baird Stafford (in one of his only two acting roles) gives it all he's got, frothing at the mouth like... well... a lunatic, and the makeup/effects aren't bad for the time. It's often compared to the 1980 film Maniac (starring Joe Spinell); it does have the same kind of feel, and the early scenes around NY strip joints definitely call it to mind, but I think Maniac is better. This does have its moments though, and some of the kills are brutal. 6/10
