This Island Earth (1955)
This is great. Cool sets, models, miniatures and dioramas of planets and spacecraft. Various cool special effects, too. Some of the aliens are just people painted purple, but that’s perfectly fine.
A doctor comes across a secret research project and is allowed to join it. Some of the other members are aliens working with earth scientists to fix a protective shield around their home planet as they are at war with another alien race. They travel to the good alien planet but are unable to save it and flee back to earth. Thats very basically it.
This is a great looking, well produced film, and like I have said above, the sets and effects and models are really enjoyable to see. 3/5
Night of the Demons (1988)
“Eat a bowl of fuck! I am here to party!”
One of the many, many, films to star Linnea Quigley, so you have an idea what this is going to be like.
Teens have a party at an abandoned mortuary where they have a seance and release a demon or demons. The teens all go off to try and have sex and the demons trap and possess them and uses them to kill each other. A generic 80’s horror set up, there are many crazy scenes and events, and dumb quotes and hilarious moments. Most of the teens are absolute turds. Don’t get me wrong, its still complete trash, but its enjoyable trash. 2.5/5
