- DirectorFredric GadetteStarsSeamon GlassThayer RobertsAubrey MartinA deputy sheriff stops motorists on a mountain road after police dispatch reports of a possible nuclear attack.Doomsday movie that ends with a huge explosion which kills the entire cast.
- DirectorBill RebaneStarsPaul BentzenDebbi PickNick HoltA group of young pilots in a remote region of the Canadian wilderness begin to hear strange reports over their radios about planes crashing, cars stalling and a deadly plague which has gripped the planet. It becomes clear that earth is in the midst of an invasion. The group of pilots decide to barracade themselves in a cabin deep in the woods and wait for their impending doom.No inner earth aliens to be seen here, just their voices on a radio. Has a weird ending that will have you asking WTF? Alternate title: They
- DirectorCurtis HarringtonStarsAnthony PerkinsJulie HarrisJoan HackettAfter an eight-month stay in a mental hospital, a tormented man comes home to live with his sister; but a mysterious boarder may be trying to kill him.Decent TV movie that has a premise similar to what Psycho II would have 13 years later. You'll figure out who the "mysterious boarder" is pretty quickly.
- DirectorRalph BrookeStarsWilton GraffJune KenneyWalter BrookeA crazed hunter kidnaps people and turns them loose on his private estate, where he hunts them for sport.Average. You'll get more enjoyment out of watching The Incredible Hulk episode "The Snare".
- DirectorRoger CormanStarsBetsy Jones-MorelandAntony CarboneRobert TowneEv, her husband Harold, and their friend Martin go scuba diving while on vacation in Puerto Rico. When they surface, they find that everyone on the island has died.Bait and switch movie that starts off interesting but quickly turns into a very boring and tedious love triangle for the rest of the film. The characters don't even try to find out what's going on and the writer does nothing with this end of the world scenario. Watch The Last Man on Earth instead.
- DirectorClaudio GuerínJuan Antonio BardemStarsRenaud VerleyViveca LindforsAlfredo MayoAfter being falsely accused of being insane and put in a asylum so his wicked aunt and her daughters could steal his money, a recently released young man returns to seek the ultimate revenge against them.Good looking movie but I found it rather boring. The ending will make you feel like you wasted your time.
- DirectorBurt KennedyStarsStacy KeachSamantha EggarJohn SavageA man traveling through a backwoods area is held hostage by a group of orphans who want him to become their father. Unfortunately, the kids have a habit of killing adults who refuse that particular honor.Worth a watch for Stacey Keach but it seemed like the writer didn't know how to end the movie.
- DirectorBill RebaneStarsRalph MeekerStafford MorganJohn F. GoffA microorganism from Mars, brought to Earth by a space probe, terrorizes passengers in a railroad office.Tedious movie where everyone dies in the end. Decent effect with the bursting head.
- DirectorJud TaylorStarsGlenn FordBradford DillmanDavid SoulDuring a radar test mission, Flight 412 witnesses the disappearance of 2 fighter-jets scrambled to intercept a UFO but the Air Force is determined to cover-up the incident.Okay if you don't mind watching David Soul and three others being interrogated by the military for most of the runtime.
- DirectorJohn HayesStarsChristopher LeeSue LyonKirk ScottAfter witnessing a man's death in a bizarre accident, Father Pergado goes on a spiritual retreat, where he encounters his alien double bent on world conquest.Christopher Lee appears in the first 5 minutes but you don't see him again until an hour into the movie.
- DirectorGeorge P. BreakstonKenneth G. CraneStarsPeter DyneleyJane HyltonTetsu NakamuraAn American journalist stationed in Japan is given a mysterious injection by a mad scientist, turning him into a murderous, two-headed monster.It takes forever for this guy to grow a second head. Literally, it doesn't appear until the last 10 minutes of the movie.
- DirectorTom AldermanStarsDeborah WalleyPaul CarrDavid G. CannonTrapped in a cave, five men cut the arm off of another companion in order to ward off starvation. After they are saved, their victim seeks revenge on them one by one.Decent, and the actual killer isn't who you might think.
- DirectorAlessandro De GaetanoStarsNick PlakiasCynthia ClineLaVerne LightAn electronics expert searching for evidence of aliens picks up signals that he believes are from an alien spacecraft--and they are coming from a lake near town.Amateur hour. Don't waste your time.
- DirectorDon DohlerStarsDon LeifertTom GriffithRichard DyszelA science ship with three dangerous specimens collected from around the universe crash lands on Earth. A mysterious stranger named "Ben Zachary" shows up claiming to be able to save the day. Can he do what he claims?Not too bad. Has some decent special effects for the time. The ending is very abrupt.
- DirectorCrane WilburStarsVincent PriceAgnes MooreheadGavin GordonA crazed killer known as "The Bat" is on the loose in a mansion full of people.Vincent Price's character is killed off half way through the movie. So if you think he's the killer, you're wrong like I was.
- DirectorVic SavageStarsVic SavageShannon O'NeilWilliam ThourlbyA newlywed sheriff tries to stop a shambling monster that has emerged from a spaceship to eat the citizens of an American town.Biggest pile of crap that's mostly narration. Apparently no one knows how to run in this movie because they all just stand there screaming, waiting to be swallowed up by a shag rug. Familiar sound effects inside the alien ship also used on Star Trek for the Enterprise bridge.
- DirectorJohn 'Bud' CardosStarsJim DavisChristopher MitchumDorothy MaloneAliens visit the solar-powered house of a middle-class family, and the house is suddenly sucked into a time warp that transports it back to prehistoric times.Okay, with some good stop motion effects.
- DirectorMario GariazzoStarsRobert HoffmannNathalie DelonMartin BalsamA photographer and his model are on a photo shoot in a forest when they get the feeling they are being watched. The feeling becomes so strong that they decide to cut their session short and leave.Starts off with two characters who you think are the leads but they get abducted 20 minutes into the movie and are never seen again. Martin Balsam is dubbed for some reason.
- DirectorJuan Piquer SimónStarsIan SerraNina FerrerSusana BequerA young boy in the woods discovers a lovable alien...or is it?Aliens that resemble anteaters. An E.T. rip off by the guy who made Pieces. With two of the stars of Pieces. Also not a good idea to introduce your lead character as a total prick.
- DirectorCirio H. SantiagoStarsRobert PatrickLinda CarolEd CrickA man from a post-apocalyptic future travels back in time to prevent the coming nuclear holocaust and enlists the help of a young couple.Even though Robert Patrick is top billed he seems to be playing second fiddle to actress Linda Carol.
- DirectorLarry N. StoufferStarsPat CardiAustin StokerRosie HolotikA shock-filled tale of a serious and shy but brilliant science student who, when wrongfully forced to consume a new drug he'd created, becomes a modern day Jekyll and Hyde.Better then Return to Horror High..
- DirectorBernard L. KowalskiStarsMichael EmmetAngela GreeneJohn BaerAn astronaut is killed on reentry to Earth, but his body is seeded with rapidly gestating aliens.
- DirectorLuigi BazzoniMario FanelliStarsFlorinda BolkanPeter McEneryNicoletta ElmiAfter being tormented by dreams about astronauts on the moon, a translator visits a deserted seaside town whose inhabitants know her, although she does not know them.Pretty good Italian mystery. Too bad the lead actress wasn't better looking. Klaus Kinski might have a whole minute of screen time. Alternate title: Primal Impulse
- DirectorRuggero DeodatoStarsChristopher ConnellyGioia ScolaTony KingAn ancient Atlantean relic is discovered on the ocean floor near a sunken nuclear submarine, which triggers a violent set of events that sees a couple of scientists teaming up with a few mercenaries to survive the onslaught that follows.Pretty good Italian action movie that never lets up from start to finish. Alternate title: Raiders of Atlantis
- DirectorDel LordStarsMary AstorLyle TalbotNat PendletonAn inventor looking for backing for his television invention gets involved with a crooked businessman and gangsters who try to steal his invention.
- DirectorPeter SasdyStarsJack PalanceKeir DulleaSamantha EggarA group of people find themselves as slaves in what looks like a Wild West town, but with no memory of who they are or how they got there. In this town, people advance through killing others. One of the people decides to go for the top position.Okay for what it is. Pointless rape scene at the beginning. Like Jack Palance said in Young Guns: "Get ready for hell".
- DirectorNicolas GessnerStarsCharles BronsonAnthony PerkinsJill IrelandA neurosurgeon with a cheating wife takes an amnesiac into his home and conditions him to believe that the cheating wife is his own and to take the "appropriate" action.
- DirectorWilliam CastleStarsJoan CrawfordJohn IrelandLeif EricksonTeenagers Libby and Kit innocently spend an evening making random prank calls that lead to murderous consequences.Decent, but the two girls spend 15 minutes making prank phone calls before they finally get to John Ireland. Good premise. Would be nice to see this remade but how would you make this kind of movie today?
- DirectorMark PirroStarsJohn McCaffertyRobyn BlytheBeanoChuck Toedan's the host of a game show featuring death row convicts competing in life-or-death contests in hopes of cheating the executioner or, at the very least, winning some nice prizes for their next of kin. Not surprisingly, Chuck has made more than a few enemies, from outraged viewers trying to ban his show, to families of losing contestants looking for revenge. A hit man hired by one such family has shown up at Chuck's office, and he'll need to enlist the help of his most outspoken critic to keep from ending up like most of his contestants.Sort of like a dark comedy take on The Running Man. Coincidentally, both movies came out within a month of each other. Includes a comedic villain who looks like a hybrid of Gene Simmons and Sam Kinison. Has it's moments but the most interesting thing is that the lead actor wrote the song "Tonight (We'll Make Love Until We Die)" for The Return of the Living Dead soundtrack.
- DirectorGeorge MendelukStarsWilliam ShatnerHal HolbrookVan JohnsonBased on the novel by Charles Templeton, a secret service chief leads a game of cat and mouse when a gang of third-world terrorists kidnap the President.Decent movie with some graphic death scenes.
- DirectorEugenio MartínStarsChristopher LeePeter CushingAlberto de MendozaWhile on the Trans-Siberian Express, an anthropologist and his rival must contain the threat posed by the former's cargo: a prehistoric ape which is the host for a parasitic life-form.Telly Savalas' overacting is the only thing that hurts this movie. His character was completely unnecessary. Other then that it's excellent.
- DirectorKinji FukasakuStarsMasao KusakariTsunehiko WataseIsao NatsuyagiAfter a virus devastates the global human population, survivors in Antarctica desperately try to find a cure and save the human race.
- DirectorSean MacGregorDavid SheldonStarsSorrell BookeGene EvansTaylor LacherAfter five deranged children are involved in a bus wreck they start killing people at the lodge who insulted them or were rude to them.The child actors are a little annoying at times. Also, there's a slow motion scene of the children beating a guy to death which goes on for far too long, almost 4 minutes. And for some reason that scene is in black and white. Also has an unrecognizable Sorrell Booke who would go on to play Boss Hogg on The Dukes of Hazzard. Alternate title: Devil Times Five
- DirectorWilliam FruetStarsKay HawtreyLesleh DonaldsonBarry MorseA young woman arrives at her grandmother's house, which used to be a funeral home, to help her turn the place into a bed-and-breakfast inn. After they open, however, guests begin disappearing or turning up dead.Decent Canadian horror film.
- DirectorMel WellesAureliano LuppiStarsJoseph CottenRosalba NeriPaul MullerBaron Frankenstein's daughter and his assistant/her lover continue his experiments in an attempt to rebuild his legacy after he is killed by his psychotic, murderous first monster.Italian retelling of Frankenstein with a stupid love story inserted to pad out the running time. Also has an abrupt ending.
- DirectorBill RebaneStarsPaul BentzenStephanie CushnaCarol PerryA murderous demon lurks inside an antique piano in a picturesque coastal town.Boring and cheap looking. The most notable thing is that the actress who played Emily died in the 9/11 attacks. Patricia Statz worked at the Pentagon and was killed when it was struck by Flight 77.
- DirectorBill RebaneStarsTom BlairJim IaquintaCarol PerryThree bored millionaires gather nine people in an old mansion, and give them a proposition--if they can meet and conquer their biggest fears, they'll get one million dollars in cash.Has too many false endings. Alternate title: The Cold
- DirectorHugo FregoneseStarsJack PalanceConstance SmithByron PalmerAfter an enigmatic, self-described pathologist rents the attic room of a Victorian house, his landlady begins to suspect her lodger is Jack the Ripper.Nothing special here. Has a couple musical numbers that feel out of place.
- DirectorFrancisco Lara PolopStarsAnalía GadéIda GalliAndrés ResinoA couple lost in thick fog, take refuge in an old mansion next to a cemetery, and strange things start to happen.
- DirectorKostas KaragiannisStarsDonald PleasencePeter CushingLuan PetersTourists are kidnapped by a devil-worshipping cult, and a priest tries desperately to save them. A gruesome tale of the devil and human sacrifice.Alternate title: Land of the Minotaur
- DirectorJerrold FreedmanStarsRobert CulpEli WallachMichael C. GwynneTwo scientists suspect that there is someone other than their research primates inhabiting their polar station.Better then average TV movie that is mainly a cast of two people and will definitely remind you of The Thing (1982). Recommended.
- DirectorPaul LynchDavid M. RobertsonJohn SheppardStarsWayne RobsonDeryck HazelDavid Petersen"Mania" is a 1986 non-hosted horror anthology movie, with four stories: 1) "See No Evil", 2) "Intruder", 3) "Have a Nice Day" and 4) "The Good Samaritan".Okay Canadian horror anthology you probably haven't heard of. Looks kind of like a MFTV movie but worth one watch.
- DirectorBradley R. SwirnoffStarsPaul AinsleyWil AlbertRoyce D. ApplegateSome unknown source has interrupted all television transmissions around the world. In place of the regular broadcasts, a lineup of extremely tasteless programs and commercials have been substituted. Included in the mix are such show as The Shitheads, The Charles Whitman Invitational, and commercials for a number of improbable products.Something to offend everyone. From the "Charles Whitman Invitational", to "Fire the Handicapped", to "You're Gay". Hit and miss comedy that fortunately has more hits then misses. Watch for some recognizable faces including Warren Oates, Harry Shearer, and Joanna Cassidy. Alternate title: American Raspberry
- DirectorFernando TruebaStarsJeff GoldblumMiranda RichardsonAnémoneAmerican writer in Paris is hired to do a script for an edgy young director he can't stand. When he falls in love with the director's cold and manipulative pretty sister, his life starts to unravel and he realizes that he's been used.Forgettable. Not even Jeff Goldblum makes this worth watching.
- DirectorAlan J. LeviStarsDonna WilkesRichard JaeckelAntoinette BowerA psychopath escapes from a mental institution and starts a murder spree, which ends in the pursuing of a young handicapped girl, who once got a blood transfusion from him.Not too bad Halloween clone that's worth watching for character actors Richard Jaeckel and Dane Clark.
- DirectorDino TavellaStarsMaureen BrownLuigi MartocciAlcide GazzottoA crazed killer is on the loose in the catacombs of Venice, Italy. He stalks beautiful women, drags them to his underground lair, kills them, then stuffs them and adds them to his "collection."Pretty good little film with the exact same plot as Amsterdamned (1988). In fact, that movie could be considered a remake of this. Recommended.
- DirectorT.L.P. SwicegoodStarsWarrene OttJames WestmorelandMarty FriedmanAn undertaker and his two friends, who are restaurateurs, make business by going out on town and killing people; the restaurateurs use body parts for their menu, the entrepreneur buries the rest.Not what I was expecting. Has it's amusing moments. It was nice to see the California landscape of the 1960s.
- DirectorAnton Giulio MajanoStarsAlberto LupoSusanne LoretSergio FantoniAn exotic dancer is disfigured in a car accident. A scientist develops a treatment that restores her beauty. To preserve her appearance the doctor must give her additional treatments using glands taken from murdered women.Not too bad. Although you won't see any vampires in this movie.
- DirectorRoger CormanFrancis Ford CoppolaJack HaleStarsBoris KarloffJack NicholsonSandra KnightA young French soldier cut off from his unit is beguiled by a mysterious woman, whom he learns is the wife of the local Baron - and that she seemingly died twenty years earlier.
- DirectorSam NewfieldStarsJohnny DownsGeorge ZuccoAnne NagelA mad scientist changes his simple-minded handyman into a werewolf in order to prove his supposedly crazy scientific theories - and exact revenge.
- DirectorFrank McDonaldStarsJack HaleyJean ParkerBela LugosiAn insurance salesman arrives at a creepy mansion to discover his potential eccentric millionaire client already dead. Instead he gets embroiled in a house full of greedy, murderous relatives competing for the inheritance.Dumb mystery comedy boarding on slapstick with Bela Lugosi in a very small supporting role.
- DirectorHarry HopeLee SholemHerbert J. LederStarsBobby VanRuta LeeMala PowersSpies discover that the Red Chinese have built a "doomsday machine" capable of destroying the surface of the Earth, and that they plan to use it within a matter of days.Cheap looking movie that's a notch above Plan 9 from Outer Space.
- DirectorRalph NelsonStarsRock HudsonBarbara CarreraDiane LaddA scientist (Rock Hudson) doing experiments on a human fetus discovers a method to accelerate the fetus into a mature adult in just a few days. All is not well though as the child begins to exhibit some horrific tendencies.Average movie that becomes nonsensical in the last 15 minutes by trying to wrap everything up as fast as it can.
