I did like the final crew of the Scorpio very much - Avon, Tarrant, Villa, Dayna and Soolin, not forgetting Orac of course.

Slave had a poor voice though, it always sounded thick.

The Dark (1979)
The poster promises loads,unfortunately the film delivers nowt,until the last few minutes,lacklustre and slow,i dont normally say this but avoid,not even William Rolling Thunder Devane cant save it.Tobe Hooper was originally gonna direct but Bud Carlos took the reins,I think this would of sunk Tobe's career.........oh wait he managed that himself.

An alien mutilator stalks and kills human prey during the night.

Never was a woman violated as profanely... Never was a woman subject to inhuman love like this... Never was a woman prepared for a more perverse destiny...

Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977).
Many happy sunday afternoons watching Sinbad movie,now the TV schedule is full soap repeats,thats progress i guess.But for many the highlight of these films is Ray Harryhausens wonderful effects,something real and organic about his effects that CGI can never do.
Sinbad The Sailor sails to deliver a cursed prince to a dangerous island in the face of deadly opposition from a powerful witch.

It Lives Again (1978).
It Lives Again (1978) picks up pretty much where the first one ended. The Davises' mutated baby has now been caught and killed; but, more are appearing around the country. Frank has now joined a renegade mob who are attempting to stop the government from killing these strange mutations. The emphasis in It Lives Again is on accepting your child, even if he or she is born with deformities or other physical or psychological problems
