Dare i ask what the shark looks like in this? Not the nicked footage from Jaws or whatever but the actual shark that does the killing.

Well tentacles is one word i don't generally associate with sharks.

For me it was a one watch experience. The documentary film was the best thing about it. I couldn't see me ever watching it again and i really couldn't see me watching Troll 2.

Troll was just bland Charles Band puppet nonsense, no different to stuff like Ghoulies, Hideous or The Creeps, that Full Moon, Charles Band era of 80'/ 90's movie making

First time viewing you really think he's going to piss on the kid don't you as that's what the kid did over the dinner table.

I'm not a massive Troll 2 fanboy like some, but to me it's worth keeping for the piss on the table, Popcorn lovemaking witch woman and the Noooo scene.

I really liked the original as well when it first came out, i'd have been 12.
I've got a double bill dvd that will do me just fine.

I would however rather watch them than the Pirates films any day of the week though.

It must be a child thing then like The Goonies and crap like that. I never saw Troll as a kid. I avoided stuff like that. The first film i ever rented was Scanners, followed by Treasure of the Four Crowns and The Kindred so it was adult stuff all the way with me. Never rented kids films.

The Brides Wore Blood (1972)

A regional offering from Florida. The acting is average at very best, but the plot amuses, think Rosemary's Baby with added vampires as a vampire patriarch basically auditions young women round the dinner table to be his son's vampire bride.

I did find the scenes of Occult vampiric rituals satisfying, in fact the whole film was actually really enjoyable, despite some woeful joke shop fangs.

Would be lovely if this was put out on Blu-ray as my Retro Media could certainly be improved on even if it is a decently pleasing transfer.

(Waits for chorus of "It's on Vinegar Syndrome")

A none stop action flick. Lots of shit definitely blows up.

I showed this to my wife last weekend. Every ten minutes she'd point and say, "I've seen him before!"

She rooted for the badguys because they just wanted to escape. She really liked Cyrus because he was realistic about issues, and he really hates rapists (interestingly, when Cyrus notices an unconscious Johnny 23 handcuffed, he doesn't care enough to inquire, or release him). She wanted the badguys to get away in the end.

She was especially delighted with the ending...

"Yay! He got away! I liked him a lot!"

"The guy who murdered all of those kids?"

"... Yes."
