2001 ain't that bad, just the end part was confusing

Yes, that's Lindsay Anderson's Mick Travis trilogy and all three films are brilliant. I've seen them many times and thoroughly enjoy him.

THE EXTERMINATOR (1980)

Not seen this in quite a while , so good to give it a spin again.
Stan Winston's effects still look good. I remember my brother saw it on release and mentioned the decapitation sequence when he came back.
I remember being at the cinema and they had a standee of the Exterminator from the poster. Me and my mates were talking about going to try and sneak in and see it but it we never did.

Night of the Creeps. 30 years after an alien landing, an infested corpse held in cryogenic suspension is accidentally let loose and zombie-creating alien parasites are soon on the prowil. This mid 80s comedy-horror is something of a cult fave but I wasn't all that impressed to be honest. It's okay, but feels a bit undercooked to me and certainly pales next to the likes of Return of the Living Dead and Night of the Comet IMO.

Humanoids from the Deep (1980)

A second viewing of the 88 Films Blu-Ray after i read the in depth cover story on it in The Dark Side a couple of issues back. I must admit i never noticed any of the 'mirror' shots or any of the other technical tricks director Barbara Peeters said were used in the climactic attack by the humanoids on the pier festival.

Humanoids from the Deep is one of the best horror films from the eighties even if it does rip off other films such as Alien at times. (What about Planet of the Vampires, Mr. O'Bannon). Doug McClure, Ann Turkel and Vic Morrow head a decent cast and the film has a terrific early score from the legendary film composer James Horner. Peeters directs the film assuredly and it goes at a gallop. The additional scenes of gore and sex that producer Roger Corman filmed give the movie an almost video nasty edge that spice things up nicely and for me help make this the exploitation classic that it is. Take them away and you have the unremarkable but entertaining tv movie which Corman produced in 1996.

Fatal Instinct (1993, Carl Reiner)

Armand Assante, Sean Young and Sherilyn Fenn take the wee out of Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct (and a few more ) in this amusing spoof. Hadn't seen this in years, I'm glad to report it still works
Ned Ravine has his hands full what with a full caseload and the odd femme fatale setting her sights on him. All in a days work for your average lawyer/policeman

Spot on mate.

A bonafide cult classic along with GALAXY OF TERROR.

I remember those standees.Our local video hole used the same type of prop when they first released it on vhs,which no doubt came from a cinema.
It stood imposingly in his widow display.
You should’ve sneaked in and blagged it......
