THE ALPHA INCIDENT (1977)

“The only time I stay in one place this long is when I’m in bed with a chick, or just sleeping.”  The government finds some type of substance on Mars, and a bunch of lab scientists determine it is dangerous to the human race. Someone makes the wise decision to ship the substance via train to Denver, Colorado, with only a single guard. A bumbling train worker contaminates himself which ....

DAY OF THE ANIMALS (1977)

A late entry into the disaster/animal attack genre of the mid-70s features many of the same actors and staff from Grizzly, including husband & wife duo Christopher and Lynda Day George. Filled to the brim with ridiculous characterizations, absurd animal attacks, and a shirtless, power-crazed Leslie Nielsen. Day of The Animals tries to legitimize itself by justifying ozone depletion as the reason the animals attack, but in actuality ....

CITY OF THE WALKING DEAD (1980)

There's a town, and within that town is some type of radiation leak that only affects a single plane in the air. When the plane lands zombies covered in ground beef emerge. Terror follows. Well done Italio-horror by veteran Umberto Lenzi. Although extremely dated and foreign, it's still good zombie entertainment. It has good special effects, a good enough story, acting, camera work, plenty of gore, boobs ....

PERFECT STRANGERS (1984)

Scrawny Mob hitman stabs a man in alley. Small boy witnesses crime. Hitman then stalks boy so that there are no witnesses, but then he falls in love with mother. Then other Mob hitmen try to kill hitman and boy. Ridiculous movie directed by Larry Cohen (It's Alive, God Told Me To) that suffers from a stupid plot and way too much 1980's stuff. Lots ....

THE SURVIVORS (1983)

Robin Williams and Walter Mathhau star in this buddy comedy rant against guns, weapons and violence in America. It runs the same lines as Deal of The Century also from 1983, with slightly less comedic results. Is the plot full of holes? Yes. Is there a million lame-ass dated jokes? Yes. Does Robin Williams get irritating after a certain point? Yes. But somehow The ....

THE DOMINO PRINCIPLE (1977)

Gene Hackmen led confusing mess of a thriller. Allegedly had one hour cut out of its runtime in order to be more commercially viable. The result? Confusing to say the least. People get killed, people get kidnapped, people vanish and all the while Hackman tries to pump life into the script. This movie was trying to be right in line with other such 70s conspiracy films ....

CROSSOVER/MR. PATMAN (1980)

Coburn stars as the established, charming and well-liked Mr. Patman, chief of the night shift at some type of psychiatric ward. Through the course of banging chicks, popping pills and being paranoid, we slowly watch him go insane. Succeeds as a character study, but it fails to build the surrounding story to support said character. What we wind up with is a series of events and dialogue that have ....
