Catching Up Pt 10
- The Being (1983)
- Who knows how Martin Landau got roped into this, but it's a generic '80s slasher horror film with some nice practical effects. Takes place in Idaho, with the usual "it's radioactive!" plot device. Forgettable.
- Waxwork (1988)
- This one ALMOST works for me. Evil owner of a wax museum plans to take over the world, if only he can get rid of these pesky college kids... it's like a more serious version of Scooby Doo. The conceit is that the wax scenes will suck you in and try to kill you. Eventually all the characters escape and go to war with the college kids. It's ... OK. It's missing something, I'm not sure what, but by the end of the movie I just didn't care.
- The Incubus (1981)
- Exploitative trash, reveling in serial rape. Evil incubus creature rapes women to death, main characters have to stop it somehow, but the movie is just gross and should be avoided with a ten foot pole. Terrible.
- Wheels of Fire (1985)
- Mad Max with nudity, basically. The future is a wasteland with cool cars and leather-clad punks, sex is a commodity, and the movie finds any and every excuse for a Playboy playmate to bare her top. It's still fun, lots of chasing and shooting, but it's aimed squarely at 14 year old boys, so be warned.
- Dead Pit (1989)
- Eh, OK. Evil mad doctor is shot and trapped with his terrible experiments for many years, then let out by accident. Our heroes must run around the hospital trying to stop him. It's not great, but you could do worse I suppose. Strictly by the book slasher horror film in a hospital setting.
