A Double dose of Fruet.
Spasms.(1981)
You would of thought that good old Ollie Reed would of had enough of snakes after the film Venom,I mean between that black mamba and Kinski sneering his way through the film,it would be enough to give anyone the arse ache... Anyway in Spasms,Reed is a rich philanthropists who was once bitten by a bloody great gigantic snake, while on some sort of expedition and ever since he has had some telepathic connection with the beast...He seeks the help of ESP researcher Peter Fonda,to help him fight his demons,or more to the point a big snake...Spasms is quite an entertaining pot boiler, although it does feel like a waisted opportunity,but it has some nice bladder effect bites courtesy of the great Dick Smith...
Blue Monkey (1987).or Insekt...
Giant insects rampage through a hospital, after infecting an old man via a strange looking plant...After the man is sent to a hospital, there soon pulling lava out of his mouth,and before you can say, let's quarantine the hospital, there's a bacteria on the loose and a nasty beast crawling through the basement and chomping on the patient's...But do not worry as there is a bored looking Steve Railsback as a cop...All in all its a fun monster flick,but obvious suffers from a cripplingly low budget,as the monsters tend to look like over sized stick insects who could be despatched with a swift kick to their watsits... Still as low budget monster flick double bills go,it was an entertaining evenings viewing from an underrated director...If insects are your thing then check out The Nest (1988)...
