Lucker (1986)
Worth a look
I know I'm certainly in a minority here but I have a soft spot for Lucker. I picked my copy up at a film fair years ago. I was wearing a Nekromantik t-shirt at the time and a trader suggested it might be of interest to me if I was that way inclined. Although I agree that the acting is a bit sketchy and the effects are not as well executed as some I do think that the film has one saving grace in that Lucker himself is one of the most repulsive characters in genre history...he's so ordinary to look at and that's what makes him so creepy. As for the infamous corpse-love scene? It sure gives a new meaning to 'finger licking good' but I wouldn't credit it with being as nauseating as others have suggested...all in all if you're a bit of a horror completist who enjoyed Nekromantik and you're in a forgiving mood it's well worth a look.
Blood Diner (1987)
I don't want another serving of this
Maybe I was being too demanding back in the late 80's but this movie stood out as one of the most disappointing 'horror' films I've ever had the misfortune to witness. I love a good horror/schlock/comedy but this one left me totally cold...I know it seems to have a bit of a cult following here but I just didn't get the joke. The relatively gory splatter scenes were totally slapstick and the rest was just frustrating and cringe-worthy. I like a lot of 'so bad they're good' films but this one was way off the scale...still that's just my personal opinion and others might question my sanity for enjoying Street Trash, TCM2, Mortuary Academy, Toxic Avenger, Motel Hell and The Revenge Of Billy The Kid.
