Subspecies stands as a hidden treasure, often overlooked but truly remarkable to fans of deep cuts of the genre. Firstly, it holds a significant place in cinematic history as the inaugural American film shot in Romania. Secondly, it redefines the vampire narrative by blending fresh concepts with elements reminiscent of the 1922 classic, Nosferatu. The outcome? A distinctively unromantic yet unforgettable portrayal of the main villain, Radu.
Amityville 1992: It’s About Time garnered a lacklustre 40% score on the TOMATOMETER and a modest 4.7/10 rating on IMDb. In my assessment, these ratings are fitting, as the film occupies a middle ground between being outright terrible and genuinely commendable. While it delivers some effective scares, the overall experience is tarnished by subpar acting and story, stilted dialogue, and inconsistencies in the quality of special effects.
Not to be confused with the other 1998 film of the same name, Jack Frost (1997) is a black comedy b-movie, slasher where a crazed serial killer gets genetically fused with snow in a freak acid accident. He comes back from the dead, still homicidal as before his demise, as a crazed killer snowman!
Could this movie be a part of your Christmas tradition for years to come?
Alien Beasts (1991) fails to deliver any horror, suspense, plot or entertainment. The movie is about a CIA unit that fights against mutated humans and terrorists who are infected by alien radiation. This is about as far as anyone can get watching the film in deciphering anything resembling a storyline. The only consistency is the constant coughing in the background.
