Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

ctomvelu1 One of the better horror films of the 1980s, with superior production values and script and even the acting, which is unusual for a low-budget "monster" movie. A trio of TV types, all pretty young females, visit a small town for its annual festival, and all the area hotels being filled up, take up a kindly old man's offer to have them stay overnight in his home. Unfortunately, the messed-up offspring of his incestuous relationship wit his sister (the distinguished New York actress Lelia Goldoni) lives in the basement and just loves company to death. The legendary character actor Sidney Lassick steals the show as the kindly old man who is as homicidal as his demented son. The son is played by Stephen Furst, best known as Flounder from "Animal House." Barbara Bach, who was never much of an actress but who always looks great, even covered in mud and chicken poop, is the film's nominal star and TV actor Doug Barr plays her ex-boyfriend. Great sets, great suspense, and a lollapalooza of a third act. It does not end like you might expect. The gore is kept to a minimum, and everything, right down to the creepy old basement, feels very real. Wait until you get a load of Furst, who is not seen until the big showdown. A must see. One small warning: Furst plays a 300-lb. man with Down Syndrome, and he plays it extremely well. So I advise anyone with a Down Syndrome child or relative to approach with the utmost caution.

Bezenby I was kind of worried about this one when two of three potential victims were bumped off fairly quickly, but I needn't have worried, because the film was just making time for the deranged family to have a good old fifteen minute long punch up near the end of the film! I think while they were throwing each other around and battering two by fours off of each other's head, they completely forgot about the final girl.This one does have scary parts. Sydney Lasseck is enjoyably twitchy as the head of the family, and the scene where junior appears scared the wife a bit. Barbara Bach, however, is pretty awful. She doesn't do much of anything except smoke cigarettes and look bored.It's slow going at first, but when junior comes along the film picks up. Plus, I nearly bust a gut when Lasseck hit junior with a massive plank of wood with a nail through it. That was only topped when the ex-boyfriend's leg injury played up at the most unfortunate time (I nearly fell off the couch at that bit).Yeah - this one's okay, really.

Vomitron_G Three girls (an all-female media-crew, including cult-actress Barbara Bach, no less) visiting a small town to cover a festival, end up renting rooms in a house they should have avoided like the plague. Well-made little shocker, suffering a bit from some redundant dialogue-scenes and a rather thin plot-line (that doesn't do very well in hiding its secrets). One underlying theme in particular is quite disturbing (as in: vintage shock-material), and this is basically what the film thrives on. Performances & cinematography are pretty much above par (compared to many other late 70's/early 80's films in the same vein), but what really makes me recommend this film is the fairly long climax sequence in the basement setting. From the moment that "Keller Junior" character was introduced, his performance made my jaw drop open and it didn't close until the end of the film. A very pleasant surprise to see actor Sydney Lassick (who was funnily wacko in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest", and now utterly demented in "The Unseen") take on one of the leading roles.

harry-austin I purchased this movie at a car boot sale, so I was not expecting it to be a horror movie on the same level as A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) or The Hills Have Eyes (1977) but I thought that it would still be fairly enjoyable to watch. However, it proved to be not at all enjoyable, but instead the acting and the general movie was mock-able, such as the ways the the 'unsees killer' murders his victims and how all of the people killed just happen to be young blonde women. It was a stereotypical horror film. I say this because of the following reasons:1) Three blonde women in danger, the majority get killed. 2) One survives by crawling around in the dark while being chased by the killer. 3) Surprise surprise, help arrives in the form of a shotgun!By using three simple points, I have saved you two odd hours by summarising this poor excuse of a horror movie, so you are now lucky enough to not have to watch it.
