Monster of the Day #1955

Looking for a Prime (get it?) hunk of cheese to watch this weekend. How about Terror on London Bridge. Remember when they bought the London Bridge and moved it to Arizona? Of course, the first thing EVERYBODY thought was “Let’s make a movie where the soul of Jack the Ripper is trapped in the Bridge, but released in the modern world in corporeal form, and the only hope is an ex-cop with a tragic backstory played by David Hasselhoff.” I mean, it writes itself. And actually it kind of did. Is there a scene where they go to the mayor (or whoever) and say “You’ve got to close the Bridge,” and he’s like, “You can’t do that, it’s tourist season!” Why, yes. Yes, there is.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

    I don’t think I’ve seen this but somehow it seems very familar.

    I have to admit, I sort-of liked this goofy movie. It was no Jaws, but it sure wasn’t Sharknado either.

    A lot of those old made-for-TV horror movies still have a certain professionalism and oddball charm to them that seems lacking in most of the straight-to-DVD films.
