My Review

I have heard that this one of best Scfi movie made in history so figure I give it a look says horror as well will see if it more Scfi though some movies are like where it more Scfi then Horror see movies like .

This another early movie made it 1953 or early it has one heck of plot too with a Magnetic monster attack earth so now it cause havoc to everybody mess up stuff and cause death I like to know where this came from maybe space or something did not say much do note it does have a slow build first 36 mins not see too much effects but some computers later on we found out this thing is feeding in space I was like if that thing grows huge could cause problems later on so how do best this thing that every where and is not easy to find before it hits items that could blow up town in a big boom.

They try to do something with machine that will maybe kill by closing the gates one of guy try to stop must say the effects was indeed out of this world for a big ending there like that was huge budget type lighting but will say it was pretty good for more Scfi then horror movie would of like a lighting shot at end though fooling everybody it is still not over that would of been cool but they did not.

So after watching this though was it best Scfi movie sort of yes and some no it was little bit boring with not too much effects early but that ending pay off though and this not much a horror too me so if your looking for horror not going to find much for this old movie but will say acting was pretty good and I will say I was happy I got a chance to see it though would I watch it a 2 time not sure Let’s say to end this review a maybe.

I give the Magnetic Monster (1953) a rating of 6/10 for good

Witchcraft (1964) Movie Review

 Starring …………. Lon Chaney Jr , Jack Hadley and Jill Dixon

Directed by…… Don Sharp

Synopsis

When a modern-day land developer’s bulldozer upsets her grave , a 300- year old witch is accidentally resurrected and terrorize a English village.

Warning ⚠️ spoilers ahead

My Review

Movie opens with bulldozer going over graves that indeed enough to wake something evil the old guy tries to warn him not too it but when it comes to money he won’t stop later he goes back to graveyard and that when we hear something Is waking up in grave the music is creepy also they show the grave started to open but did not show her yet. Later on guy talks to old lady about Symbol on the grave and when finds out what it is his face reaction was indeed priceless he knows he woke something up that is indeed evil and worst then we see witch standing there pretty good makeup on Actress there to make her look like a witch there she look creepy and she look like she ready to raise hell on anybody who woke her up.

So does she slowing goes after them only 1 death in first few mins when she awake but this good you want to slowing build her up to be badass witch later this what I hope they then later on witch strikes again with a lady driving her car over the hill but too me it didn’t look like a deep hole but she did crash so guess it count so how do stop a witch that can pop up anywhere without you notice not sure she is one heck of witch she can play with mind making things you see but is not real.

Then as movie goes on later We see Drones in suits worship I think the witch and Surprise it some of people from at start not sure but I think they could be under witch spell and now form a cult with witch or maybe they are against her not I was hope that but his smile show he is working with her.

So what did I think of last 19 mins the guys go down looking for his girlfriend they do find Tracy tie up Dazed so they did Escape but in the end it was tough watching guy see the one he loved burn 🔥 up figure it would that way and it did.

This was not a bad horror movie good not best the witch had easy part look like she didn’t even talk most of her powers was claw or playing mind tricks on you that was it do say the makeup on her look ok for a old movie she was little creepy also acting was very good as well and it ended the way I thought it would see many movies where fire kills witches and this one show for a old horror movie again it is not bad I would give her a few more powers to make her powerful and I would do something with that ending as well but it is a old movie so I understand they went for ending not worst but did end ok for a not bad movie.

I give Witchcraft (1964) a rating of 7/10 for good

Synopsis 

A shock- filled tale of a serious and shy but brilliant science student who, when wrongfully forced to consume a new drug he’d created, becomes a modern day Jeckly and Hyde. 

Warning spoilers ahead 

My Review 

Scary or not old movies keep on rolling with this next one called Horror High (1973) about a teen makes some sort of drug that side effect goes wrong. 

After see it have to say it had some scary moments but not out of this world scary for a 70’s movie music did fit in well with when he become that that thing so soundtrack is pretty good will give them that story was ok little bit chessy but did have bullying a teen got bullying by everybody so he created something that gets revenge on them that turns him into Hyde monster movie was little chessy but very bloody and gory some kills will give it as a ok horror movie not best I see as for ending know it that was going to happen pretty chessy for a 70’s movie. 

Will say it ended odd with him being take over by Hyde and telling the one he loved he kill all them and did not care think he just give up trying and let monster take over Then as movie was about to end went dark and then we heard voices talking about him it was odd after a second came back with a sad ending not a bad ending again the music fit in well to roll to the credits must say this was not a bad movie can of chessy with him turning into this thing but it was not bad for a old movie would I watch it again not sure doubt it though I guess in the end he was catch and how plot ends so was this scary Will say yes and no both is all U have left to say about this one and let see what I will review for old scary or not movies. 

I give Horror High (1973) a rating of 6/10 for ok. 

The Undertaker and His Pals (1966) Movie Review

 Starring………. Warrene Ott, James Westmoreland and Marty Friedman

Director………… T.L.P Swicegood

Synopsis

An Undertaker and his Two restaurateur friends Drum up business by murder in their Townspeople , Who body parts end up on the menu.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

First intro look like a cartoon intro with groovy music as well for a horror movie that there give me a sign it was 1:46 long one that for sure this was 1966 so sometimes they have long opening.

After see this all I got is very weird horror movie it doesn’t have a lot of scare jumps but does have crazy gore and killings some for restaurant trying to stay in Business by Serving up humans on there menu to people the music is can of silly like it goes weird when killing starts.

This movie or show is what it feels like is a hour and 3 mins long and what I see is now the most Cheesy movie in horror history is want I see for a 1960’s film so do get much in this short time not too much from what I see this horror with comedy the only thing I was laughing about was weird soundtrack of movie was a little bit it added to how not good this film was no hero’s at all to save the day like most movies this one was force the ending was can of lame guy try to grab her but missed and fall to his death off the building or so I felt but he survive it most not be a huge fall after that have a silly ended where all ones killed come back and Smile they acted like I hope you like the movie it was odd not sure but I think this movie was drive in movie I bet I will say everybody coming back was a nice touch but again this was indeed a chessy 1 and 3 min movie is all I got left to say.

I give the Undertaker and his Pals a rating of 4/10 for very cheesy

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde (1968) Movie Review

 Starring………. Jack Palance, Denholm Elliott and Leo Genn

Directed by……… Charles Jarrott

Synopsis

A scientist experiments with a potion that reveals his dark and murderous alter ego. In this acclaimed adaptation of Robert Louis Steveson’s classic.

Warning spoilers ahead

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.

Frankenstein’s Daughter : (1958) Movie Review

 Starring…… John Ashley, Sandra Knight and Donald Murphy

Directed by…………… Richard E. Cunha

Synopsis

In this schlock movie classic, the insane grandson of Dr. Frankenstein unleashes hideous creatures on modern day Los Angeles.

Warning spoilers ahead

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

Directed by………… Robert Fuest

Synopsis

Warning spoilers ahead

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.
