Not Monster of the Day #25

Friday's Discord Watch Party feature was Curt Siodmak's Love Slaves of the Amazon. It was poorly paced. It takes them like an hour to get to the Amazons, then the Amazons are goofy for like 20 minutes, then they are suddenly super dangerous for 10 minutes. It wasn't awful, it wasn't really good, but…

It was getting late, and most people headed out, marking the near end of T(ween) Fest 2025 weekend. However, Sandy was up for one more movie, so I popped in my recently procured Blu Ray for 1930's The Bat Whispers. Sandy later admitted he was a bit unenthusiastic about the choice. These old dark…

What Waits Below (1984). I'm not sure I'd even heard of this one. On the other hand, it has one of those generic titles that refuses to fix a movie in your mind. Basically, it's an American update of one of those Amicus "lost civilization" movies that they ground out after Land that Time…

If Michael Flatley's Blackbird was sadly boring, the day was saved by the anti-boredom Ölüm Savaşçısı (1984). The guys behind Turkish Star Wars made this rogue cop film, including the star of Turkish Star Wars, that Tim Thomerson-looking guy. Here he plays basically Dirty Harry if he were brundleflied with Rambo. Now, to be…

If there's anything Bad Drama fans like, it's a vanity film. They are nearly uniformly driven by the ego of the person behind them, and then they tend to be weird and horrible. Chad R and I are the two big Bad Drama guys in our crowd, and for years we'd been looking for…

Mike and Jamie kicked in their own suggestion; 2012's A Fantastic Fear of Everything. It's Martin Scorsese's After Hours if the protagonist was crazy to start with. The movie is quite good and benefits from a typically great Simon Pegg as the paranoid central character. If you like manic black comedies that still have…

VANNA WHITE AT HER MOST EXPRESSIVE IN THE GODDESS OF LOVE Friday was our Discord Watch Party. NBC briefly tried to make Vanna White a thing by building a 1988 TV movie around her. To give her the best possible chance at success, it was basically a remake of the previous year's Mannequin. Aphrodite…
