Now that #Mastoween is finishing up, we return to #Monsterdon and the joy of rubbery giant monsters devastating model sets <3
This Sunday at 9pm eastern we'll be watching Destroy All Monsters (1968), a classic Godzilla flick featuring a broad swathe of the giant nuclear lizard pantheon, plus apparently aliens! It'll be a full rich evening :D
I started spooky film season last month because fuck your rules! .. but yeah it's time to revisit some classics and favs.
I watched Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), which is as unashamedly horny and monsterfucking focused as you remember. An evergreen fav with a special callout to Tom Waits' fantastic Renfield.
an early Neil Marshall film, someone I'd later follow and like. it seems unfair that there are a million vampire movies of varying quality and so few werewolf films
this to me is a classic low budget B-quality gore-heavy monster film. everyone's here to act appropriately for what it is and it's just fine. the VHS film quality helps with the budgets (love the werewolf design!). total soft spot for Sean Pertwee, B-
clearly pitched as "Alien, but Hellraiser," this never really rises to the best of either but it's still a memorably good run. Paul WS Anderson's best?
Laurence "This place is a tomb" Fishburne is a Presence, always, and it's the second best horror film where Sam Neill loses his mind to chaos
love the ships, love the main engine room set, wish the rest had been more trusted to their own designs and a little less derived. B+
