Horror Movie Review: Specters (1987)

It’s always a pleasure to find Donald Pleasence hiding away in some forgotten Italian horror film from the 80s, which is very much the case with Specters (Italian: Spettri). A supernatural horror that has some style, plenty of class, feels suitably 80s (and Italian), but has nothing of note elsewhere.

Horror Movie Review: Insect (1987)

They really don’t make them like this anymore. Insect (aka Blue Monkey) is creature feature with a dumb story, a dazzling array of practical effects, plenty of gore, and ending that is hilariously telegraphed from the start. It’s a blast, a flawed blast, but a blast none the less.
