My review

I just love some of old Mr Hyde and Dr Jekyll movies because they tell good stories on how it happens this one I have not see yet so here we go my Review of The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from 1968.

I wonder if this is a TV movie can of seems like it is what I was thinking because when he started to change they cut it off to the next day where he wakes not remember things then he goes to bar asking people if they see me before and a few remember him then after that they show him drinking the potion and this time they show what happen after he drink it he look can of creepy with makeup on Jack Palance does but seem like everybody getting along with him some don’t though later on his dark side comes out as he goes after guys at bar who don’t like him but that laugh sort of remind me this might be comedy horror movie type as well then for some reason he takes the potion and turns back into himself for now.

The movie seems a little slow some but it is indeed a TV movie and on tv they don’t show much gore this movie is lot different then other versions I see I find this one interesting as well as it seem pretty good.

Later on he changes back but he still half Mr. Hyde as cops are downstairs sort of remind me the half hulk on one of Incredible Hulk episodes so when Dr. Jekyll finds out what his Altar ego does he starts having thoughts on not to turn back in too his Alter ego or not but when he gets angry he can not help to turn back to him and go killing now everyone see him doing it they will now be after him so does Dr. Jekyll does tell good lies to cover it up but I wonder how long before police figure out or someone will his evil secret .

After he Destory the lab just when I thought it was end of Dr. Hyde he drink too potion and now he can’t stop change to him now I thought they would go that way so now what is he stick as Dr. Hyde he does change back to Dr. Jekyll but again he keeps change back to this killer the last fight was ok could of been a little bit better but that ok some reason I predicted the ending sometimes I am good at that and it happens it ended ok but will say this was not bad horror movie for TV movie.

Hats if to Jack Palance he was one of best in my very playing both characters his makeup was pretty good very great acting from him as well at first I figure they keep it low on horror for a TV movie but they did some scare at first Mr. Hyde seem like he was nice guy as movie goes on you find out he was indeed not odd plot there but it worked for me so would I watch this again maybe but for now glad I got to see it at first didn’t think it would not be good but as I watch it enjoy this horror take on classic Mr. Hyde and Mr. Jekyll indeed and think this movie is indeed a must see for horror fans.

I give The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1968) a rating of 7/10 for good.

My review

This is another Frankenstein’s movie thought I would watch this time it is daughter of Frankenstein’s that was release 1958. This one is about the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein’s who trying to recreate Frankenstein’s but this time with a woman he then later gives it a woman though a drink and well after that well she started to change and boy she did look ugly and boy she scared everybody in the town then I was saying I bet this will be where she change back to human and I was right well guess they need something so she won’t have to wear that ugly makeup or mask for the whole movie It was ugly looking as well for a old movie but I guess Dr. Frankenstein’s didn’t think that went well so he goes so he try again and it works but why does she look like a man Frankenstein’s very odd they call her a she when it look like a lot of a man can of silly 😜 if you ask.

I can Confirm that indeed was a man playing daughter Frankenstein’s my guess they could not find a Actress in time to play female Frankenstein’s so have a man dress up to look like it a woman I will say it was creepy looking Frankenstein’s so now there 2 ugly looking monsters or is there only see the first one for a short time he try to change her again but why do that when he changed her early writer mistake or writers got lost some.

Last 15 mins have to not much but it was not good ending for Frankenstein’s grandson or lame looking Frankenstein’s daughter or let’s son and that woman who changed into monster was only 1 time would of been cool to end with them hugging and she changes back into ugly thing as movie rolls to credits they did not do that though.

That movie was little bit it was promote as Frankenstein’s daughter but Frankenstein’s look like like a man what they should of done is keep that first ugly monster where woman turn into but it was short and well she was back to normal guess writer didn’t want to go there which is a shame I will say Frankenstein’s daughter or son did look creepy good makeup the monster was played Harry Wilson who also played Winke on Wizard of Oz think he was Guard who give Dorothy the broom stick as well so that is something so would I watch this one probably not because it was little poor on writing a little acting was good but not best either but I will if your fans of Frankenstein’s movies this indeed worth checking out to see if you like it or well not.

I give Frankenstein’s daughter (1958) a rating of 4.5/10 for can of poor

My Review

After watching this movie have to say this is very disturbing movie with some actors who I know in this one so why is this Disturbing movie of 70’s let’s start.

This took place in 1970’s and is called Devil’s rain the movie starts off with creepy intro and you see John Travolta you wonder what he doing in this from what I heard this was his first movie and boy did he put the makeup and look creepy so will talk about that in a bit in intro is creepy with good scary painting will say that good artwork to open it also you hear voices of people crying where it coming from not sure but I see many horror movies and to open with credits like this show you what ahead from what I been told many trap souls trap in devil rain.

Then we open up the movie where mark is looking for his father and well he shows up with no eyes or dark eyes then he said give him the book then he melting in rain and just turn into goo well least they don’t have to mop him up later now I know why they call it devil’s rain.

After mark mom gets Kidnapped she probably next to become one of them is my guess mark aka Willam shatner goes after Corbis who wants the book so we meet him later and you wonder why he in too the book well it has of power of Satan once they get in church this when more starts to get disturbing he then see his mom and yep she one of them mark try’s to run but he was outnumber after that the guy from green aces show up guess he a doctor or fake doctor we find out 28 mins tom skerritt who plays Tom goes looking for his brother.

Then we go back where there getting ready for mark to become one my guess this will lead them to the book Tom show up later looking for them and guess who shows up John Travolta attacks him I know that face with creepy mask on him then his girlfriend look into his eyes and see the truth on where corbis will be back he said took 3-5 mins but after that girl says better go and you hear them creepy voices again this why movie is disturbing too but what to comes it gets far more disturbing as well.

Then later we see corbis turn into a goat look like Ernest sure look creepy in that mask also a icon mask was born the one Willam shatner wear was later use for Halloween movies that Michael wear well least something came out of this so who it better even though Willam did look creepy in have to say Micheal wear it better.

Well last 15 mins we see mark break the devil’s rain which trapped so he does the right thing and free the souls or something then it starts too and everybody starts to meltdown even John starts to melt his first movie and he is melting it was 5 mins-7 mins meltdown must of been huge ending they were going with  after that just before it ended that was one heck of odd twist there at it it was said by a poster best movie ending ever to me it was ok but not best ending.

Well did I like this film it was disturbing one that for sure for story and it was creepy with masks with no eyes see John Travolta and Willam wear creepy masks was something also see them melt at end was disturbing do I think they drag the melting Scene too long at the end yeah it can remind of me gremlins movie with that it was scary some but them creepy voices was something as well acting was chessy so is this a horror movie I would watch again probably not unless I want to go back and watch John and Willam melt again just kidding but I will say this if you watch be careful it is very creepy movie of the 70’s that is for sure I am sure the Cast and crew mop it up after they were done with this movie.

I give the Devil’s rain (1975) a rating of 6/10 for creepy movie.

Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965) Movie Review

Director………. Freddie Francis

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

Another week and movie Review for Horror movies so let see if I like or not this one from 1965.

This one is about five passengers on a tree who receives readings from a Fortune teller who seems creepy a little that there makes me think he something else then just a fortune teller and with cards put a deadly cure on all five of them or maybe he can see what there futures hold.

This is what interesting about plot your not knowing first guy story was going to house with a dark secret about the house and then in basement a waits a werewolf later then we find out who lady indeed is very creepy after that back to the train that what guy Predicted later on will happen but will it have to wait and see.

Now on to 2nd guy somehow plants are attack they even kill a dog which is odd sort of like attack of plants who later on trap them in house in a Odd way killer but as it was getting good back to the train so is stories of faction not sure.

3nd guy story will say gets creepy some I will say each predict does get more scary think this one has something to do with Voodoo curse or magic he may of curse for stealing words from a Ancient god or something he does take the warns and later it comes back to backfired or does it well that one was not too scary creepy as well back to the train they go.

I have a feeling all this predict will make Sense at the end hope so or else it will be a letdown is what I thinking anyway it is 4 guy turn so what his future he has something to do with paintings 🖼 my guess it is cure one guy lost his hand ouch in a car wreak and later hand attacks Peter sort of hand from Addams family

remind me of lol look out hand coming for you he does burn it but it keep coming back so he throw in river inside a box but again just as it getting good cut back to train.

Down to last one 5th and final one turn where I think he just brought a house for him and his wife or they just got married when he cuts himself her look like a vampire look see it before many times would be more scary if she turns into a bat I think so because when bat flys though window she by the window saying she cut her hand so that there give me a hint she is a vampire.but in the end of that story there was a twist that was a little creepy back to the train .

So was all this a game well guy hand 🤚 out cards just Disappeared and they land my guess in hell or somewhere they were dead what a odd ending for this movie.

Have to say not bad stories lead up to that odd ending I know it would end in a twist or a Strange ending which I have no clue how it will go at all my guess this was train ride to there deaths will say story was confusing some but will say good acting from Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as Dr. Terror in this one but I do wish for a better ending and what was next guess it ended up where they won’t have to go though stories and this was only way from it not happen not but odd writing will say this film is indeed worth checking out it was scary some but not a lot Is all I have left to say.

I give Dr. Terror’s House of horror (1965) a rating of 6.5/10 for good.
