The Redeemer: Son of Satan! (1978)
A misunderstood masterpiece of horror
I noticed here on IMDb.com, that nearly every low budget horror film that I have merely enjoyed or even thought to be spectacular has been given a bad review. To me, The Redeemer:Son Of Satan is an incredible film. It has gaillo qualities... very atmospheric, creepy, yet it doesn't need a whole lot of blood and guts to keep you interested. A stereotypical slasher film this is not. On VHS, the title of Class Reunion Massacre was most likely used to cash in on the whole slasher trend of the 80s. I found the cinematography to be incredible. The acting wasn't bad either. This isn't your regular 'piece of cheese' horror film. It was shot well, and overall, had good production values. It does have its 'cheese' moments, as most films of the genre do, but I can look beyond them. Also, I'm sure this film had a political subtext AGAINST Christianity. Showing how a crazed religious fanatic (the priest) committed murder under the justification that he was eliminating those who sinned. I also believe that the character of the little boy from the lake was the apprentice of the priest. Thats how his character comes into play. I really wish the director kept making horror films, he could've done something incredible. Love it or hate it, this film is MEMORABLE. It is Not some shoddy piece of garbage that you want to forget. All in all, The Redeemer:Son Of Satan isn't just another over-the-top slasher gore-fest. Its something more. So what if The Redeemer isn't as polished up as a squeaky clean "Scream" or "I Know What You Did Last Summer"? Cant find redeeming values in a low budget film? Stick to your million dollar Blockbuster horror.
Astro-Zombies (1968)
A pinnacle of cult cinema
This movie is even bashed by fans of cheesy old "B" horror films. This I don't understand. I loved every second of this movie. It took me a while to find a copy of Astro Zombies, but I found the DVD for $7.99, when it arrived, I immediately popped it in. I was not disappointed in the slightest. Its title may suggest that this film contains an onslaught of Romero-esque zombies from space, of course, that would've been a whole lot cooler than the few Astro-Zombies we see in this film, but they still delighted me. I found this film to have a preety cool premise (zombie like quasi-men who can be controlled and programmed), even though it contained all the stereotypical characters a film like this needs. Of course, that didn't bother me in the slightest. Neither did the pacing, I didn't find this film to bore me at all. Teenage Zombies would be a film with incredibly bad pacing. That is a boring movie. You need to keep in mind that Astro Zombies is a cheesy zombie movie from 1969, its not Oscar material. So, you all need to quit your whining and just accept that there is much worse out there. LONG LIVE TED MIKELS!
Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
...And this time, it's horrible.
Wow. This movie is so insanely stupid that I don't know where to start. How about this... Universal is going to take an incredibly great movie classic and destroy it with idiotic sequels! Brillient! Sure, it may have grossed its budget, but thats all this movie was made to do. Its objective was to milk the American people out of more money.
I read here on IMDb.com, that Jaws: The Revenge had a budget of 23 Million dollars. Give me 1/16th of that budget and I'm positive that I could make a better film.
1.Sharks cannot roar. 2.Sharks cannot stand on their tails. 3. When sharks are impaled with large sticks they do not automatically explode. 4.Mama Brody cannot reminisce about things she didn't witness. 5.Sharks cannot follow people vast distances. 6.Sharks do not enjoy swimming in warm bahaman waters. 7.Michael Caine shouldn't be in this movie. 8.Sharks do not have feelings. I could really go on forever there. I enjoyed Jaws 2, its not a bad film. Jaws 3 is laughable, but still holds up. Jaws: The Revenge is simply a steaming heap of movie making feces. Judging by the cinematography alone (revealing the inner workings and external moving parts of the extremely fake hunk of plastic thats supposed to be a shark) the director gives Bruno Mattei a run for his money.
Do not buy or even rent this piece of cinematic garbage, unless you want to have a good laugh.
