Creature also has some of the most blatant lifts from various Jerry Goldsmith scores of the period (Outland, Twilight Zone: The Movie, The Secret Of NIMH) that I honestly thought that Richard Band was the composer.

- Creature (1985): 1/10 http://www.the80smovieclub.co.uk/images/creature-screen1.png Horrendously cheapjack Alien ripoff is good for a few stray laughs, but hard to believe this came out over a half-decade after Ridley Scott's classic, as it looks about as chintzy as a 60's episode of Star Trek . Th...

I enjoyed half of the movies in the Alamo's horror marathon today. First was Popcorn , sort of a horror version of Matinee with some students presenting a horror marathon featuring William Castle like movies but with a crazed killer lurking in the theater. Not perfect but enjoyable. Never seen that...

You are seemingly on an island there with CRIMSON PEAK. I will get to it eventually! I was quite delighted by it. I can imagine why it's tanking at the box office, though...too genteel and "not scary enough" (i.e. subwoofer jump-cuts every thirty seconds) for the hardcore horror buffs, an...
