The Guyver (1991)

The Guyver (1991) was awesome! Highly recommended if, like me, you enjoy tokusatsu -- ridiculously over-the-top, campy sci-fi with great makeup/prosthetics, props, and practical effects. It was very silly, but I loved it. It reminded me of the stuff I watched as a kid -- Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Xena Warrior Princess, etc. -- with a gnarly, Cronenbergian flavor. I wouldn't call it horror, but it didn't feel too out of place in the lineup. A more aggressive editor could have taken out like 15 minutes of superfluous monster fights, but then it wouldn't be what it is! 

Also enjoyed the deliciously OTT dialogue like:

"I killed you once! I can kill you again!"

"You can't kill me! I've been rejected by death!"

Body Bags (1993)

Tonight Mark and I watched Body Bags (1993), which was amazing!! Cool creepy stories, great effects, classic Carpenter soundtrack (and direction), and chock full of cameos, a veritable "who's who" of horror. (More appreciated by Mark than me, I'm not very good with recognizing celebrities or knowing actors, idk, that part of my brain is missing, I guess -- tho I did love seeing my boy David Noughton, from my all-time fav American Werewolf in London!) I really loved all 3 stories, tho content warning, the third had upsetting sexual violence. I do think the transplanted-body-part trope is a cool one, Heart of a Dog vibes. 👍👍

Prom Night II (1987)

Nicole and Michael joined us for Prom Night II (1987), a campy supernatural slasher. The 80s is easily my favorite decade for horror, and although this movie was pretty goofy at times, there were some very neat effects, including a totally awesome classroom scene (who knew chalkboards could be so frightening?).

Prince of Darkness (1987)

I watched Prince of Darkness (1987) a couple days ago, and I've been letting it stew in my brain a little bit before writing a review, but this one just didn't really do it for me. 80s horror is my favorite so this should have been my jam, but I REALLY wanted to slap mullet girl and mustache man 🤣, and the plot felt a little thin for my taste. If pressed, my favorite part of the movie would have to be the swirling green tank of doom.

The Beyond (1981)

Mark and I did not quite make it all the way thru The Beyond (1981), aka "...and you will live in terror! The Afterlife." The title was the best thing about this utterly ridiculous film. The dialogue (dubs) is so bad that it seems like a porno. This movie is ripe for hecklevision. (Normally I never wimp out on finishing movies, but we were busy and our streaming rental expired, and I just couldn't bring myself to spend another $3.99 on this nonsense. 🤣🤣)

Snakes on A Plane (2006)

Mm Snakes on A Plane - best movie or worst movie? Impossible to decide 😂🐍✈️
