Monster of the Day #3648

I mentioned Leviathan yesterday, but again, I really get much out of it. It was a turgid remake of The Thing, I thought. Still, this was the last great era for practical monsters. Look at that rig! Notice both the ending of this and of DeepStar Six involve the monster reaching the surface.

It took me decades to see, but the direct to video The Rift, made the year after all these Hollywood films came out, was a cheesy treat, and I would have liked it a lot more than the films they actually released.

Happy Friday, everyone! And Merry Christmas for those who don’t drop by before then. Have a great weekend. Watch something stupid. Indeed, watch something both Christmasy and stupid with us tonight at our Watch Party.

    Like Bgbear I honestly get all these movies mixed up. Except for 'The Abyss' which never really clicked with me. I can't say I hate it, but I don't like it that much either.

    So is this the one with Buckaroo Banzai or the one with the Russian vodka full of mutigens? Or was that the same movie, I can not remember…

    Amanda Pays in her undies, good. Daniel Stern in his undies, bad.

    Both, Robocop and spiked vodka.
