With production seized early in post-production and half the film reshot with a new cast and crew, who knows what could've been? The Exec. Producer's shenanigans and some top makeup and fx people give the Grue Crew plenty of fuel for their talkabout of this fun, mess of a movie.

S04E257 Video Review - SPOOKIES

Directed by Jeff Lieberman with George Kennedy and a machete-wielding psychopath in the Oregon woods, is it an underappreciated gem or is its status among 80s slashers more fitting? The Grue Crew shares their opinions in this talkabout. Enjoy!

S04E258 Video Review - JUST BEFORE DAWN

The Gure Crew welcomes guest Scott Wells to review this "avant-garde, psychological, surrealistic, horror film" from Alejandro Jodorowsky. Totally unpredictable, gorgeous, must-see mind-bender. Enjoy!

S04E259 Video Review - SANTA SANGRE

The title resides in every child’s nightmares, but does this low-budget supernatural slasher directed by the famous, or is it infamous?, director, Ulli Lommel, live up to it? The 80s Grue-Crew check out THE BOOGEY MAN and have plenty to say on the subject.

S04E260 Video Review - THE BOOGEY MAN

With the exception of Beatrice Pons as Mother and DP Joseph Manigine, the cast and crew were relative novices who succeeded in making a movie far better than could be expected and more disturbing. Hey, it's Eli Roth's favorite movie. Enjoy our talkabout!

S04E261 Video Review - MOTHER'S DAY

It’s Ozploitation time again! This go around, the crew discusses Richard Franklin’s ROADGAMES, starring Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis and conceived as Hitchcock’s Rear Window from a tractor-trailer. Enjoy the Grue Crew's talkabout!

S04E262 Video Review - ROADGAMES

Evilspeak answers the question of what happens when a bullied military school cadet finds a Satanic tome in the academy chapel. The story starts a bit slow, but the GrueCrew promises you will be rewarded during the final act. Enjoy our talkabout!

S04E263 Video Review - EVILSPEAK

With Randy Quaid in Bob Balaban’s PARENTS, 1989, you might be expecting some crazy hijinx. Instead, you get some very dark humor with heavy emphasis on dark. Mileage may vary regarding outright laughs, but the GrueCrew enjoyed the watch. Enjoy!

S04E264 Video Review - PARENTS

The 80s GrueCrew go to St. Mary’s College, an all-girl school in Boston, not really Boston, but hey, it’s a movie, for Lucio Fulci's AENIGMA. It’s not one of Fulci’s best, but as usual, the victims are dispatched with style. Escargots anyone? Enjoy our talkabout!

S04E265 Video Review - AENIGMA

XTRO, 1982, is one of those films, love it or say, WTF? or both. The GrueCrew are joined by guest host, fx artist, suit actor Dirk Rogers, to help sort out this circus. You’ll have to check out the episode to see if any of Dirk’s teachings sank in. Enjoy our talk!

S04E266 Video Review - XTRO

What a poster! What a cast! A WW2 Nazi ghost ship used for toroture rams and sinks a modern-day cruise ship! The ingredients appear to be a potent combination, but do they combine to create a killer film? Check out our talkabout and discover the Gruesome truth.

S04E267 Video Review - DEATH SHIP

PROM NIGHT, 1980, is one of the 6-pack of horror films for Jamie Lee Curtis 1978-1981. It's not the best, but is it the worst? Well, there is a lot of disco music and dancing. Never fear. The Grue Crew will give you the straight poop.

S04E268 Video Review - PROM NIGHT

Based on Peter Straub’s outstanding novel, GHOST STORY’s cast and crew sports eight Oscar winners plus several nominees, and yet, the Grue-Crew are divided on their appreciation. Even so, it’s a remarkable film, and the crew has much to talk about. We hope you enjoy!

S04E269 Video Review - GHOST STORY

In this supersized episode, the Grue Crew are joined by Jeff Farley and Ralph Miller, effects artists who worked on THE BLOB's blob crew. They give us the down and dirty and gooey on creating the film's extraordinary effects. Enjoy our talkabout!

S04E270 Video Review - THE BLOB

Umberto Lenzi’s CANNIBAL FEROX, 1981, was an answer to Deodato's CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, 1980! 31 countries banned the film at its release. A short history of cannibal films, a long discussion of this film, and a lot of feedback. Enjoy our talkabout!

S04E271 Video Review - CANNIBAL FEROX

If you are looking for an entry-level 80s horror film, the 80s Grue-Crew thinks THE GATE (1987) might be just the ticket. A very young Stephen Dorff, excellent FX from Randall William Cook and Craig Reardon, and even a happy ending! Enjoy our talk about! 

S04E272 Video Review - THE GATE

What a fun movie! FX by Rick Baker and Greg Cannom. Cinematographical stylings of the great Dean Cundy. Effective scenery-chewing by Jack Palance and Martin Landau with Cameron Mitchell, Larry Storch, Sue Ane Langdon, Neville Brand, and Ralph Meeker! Enjoy!

S04E273 Video Review - WITHOUT WARNING

TERRORVISION! What an incredibly fun and outrageous flick! It's delightfully over-the-top in every aspect, featuring some of our favorite actors alongside a brilliant effects crew that brings the chaos to life. We hope you enjoy our lively discussion about it!

S04E274 Video Review - TERRORVISION

The Crew returns to Italy for a Dario Argento-style Giallo! Set during a Macbeth production, Giuseppe Verdi’s opera is filmed mainly at Teatro Regio di Parma. And those Ravens! Get ready for another exciting talkabout filled with suspense and thrills!

S04E275 Video Review - OPERA

Season 4

Dead and Buried, 1981, is truly special! The Grue-Crew, joined by Gregory Crosby, admire Stan Winston’s incredible FX. With Jack Albertson, James Farentino, Melody Anderson, and Robert Englund, its flaws exist, but the highlights? Absolutely unforgettable! Sit back and enjoy!

S05E276 Video Review - DEAD AND BURIED

The 80s Grue-Crew and guest Ralph Miller III visit a Canadian hospital, facing an epidemic, wild laser antics, heaps of green goo, and a bizarre larva transforming into a giant killer insect. Ah, Canadian horror, enjoy our thrilling talkabout!

S05E277 Video Review - BLUE MONKEY

Horror film or not? Jeff doesn’t really care as long as it has Rory Calhoun in the cast. Add Donna Wilkes, Dick Shawn, Susan Tyrrell, Cliff Gorman, Hollywood Blvd nightlife, and a serial killer into the mix and you have a fun one! Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E278 Video Review - ANGEL

The 2nd in Dario Argento’s The Three Mothers trilogy, is almost as beautiful as the legendary SUSPIRIA, the first of The Three Mothers, and the film is filled w/innovative kills, beautiful cinematography, and radiant lighting. Please enjoy our talkabout!

S05E279 Video Review - INFERNO

Inspired by Rod Serling’s landmark TV series, this film includes 3 remakes, 1 new piece, and a loose wraparound directed by Stephen Spielberg, George Miller, John Landis, and Joe Dante. Shrouded in tragedy and controversy, there is plenty to discuss. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E280 Video Review - TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE

The Grue-Crew are in awe of the effects created by the legendary Tom Savini and team in the 3rd of George A. Romero's Dead films. The characters, cast, and crew also get their share of love. Once again, there’s sooo much to discuss. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E281 Video Review - DAY OF THE DEAD

Underappreciated at its release, this film has risen to become a fan favorite over the years. With fx by the Stan Winston Studio and dialogue from Shane Black and Fred Dekker, this horror comedy has a heart and a happy ending. It's so much fun! Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E282 Video Review - THE MONSTER SQUAD

The 1980s Grue Crew tackle this franchise-starting film with special critters FX by the Chiodo Bros, featuring Dee Wallace, M. Emmet Walsh, and Scott Grimes. Director Kevin Herek has put together a fun horror comedy that spawned four sequels. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E283 Video Review - CRITTERS

Last ep was on CRITTERS, so this one must be on CRITTERS 2, 1988. We're joined by Ralph Miller III, an FX artist who worked on the film for the Chiodo Brothers, gets into the nitty gritty details of the film's FX. The Grue-Crew loved it, and we hope you will too!

S05E284 Video Review - CRITTERS 2: THE MAIN COURSE

Hometown buddies Scott Spiegel, Sam and Ted Raimi, and Bruce Campbell, fx by Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero, and Howard Berger; and the acting, which is spiced up by some fun cameos, make INTRUDER is a pretty darn good 80s slasher. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E285 Video Review - INTRUDER

Susan Tyrrell chews scenery magnificently and the rest of the cast performs admirably in this whacked-out, underappreciated, must watch 80s slasher. Dir. William Asher does s fine job despite his sitcom roots. There's so much to discuss. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E286 Video Review - BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER

Surprise! Chuck Norris made a science fiction-horror movie and we decided to cover it. None of them are Chuck Norris fans and one even has a bone to pick with the actor and martial arts champion. But they dig the rest of the cast and still have plenty of fun with this one. Enjoy!

S05E287 Video Review - SILENT RAGE

This infamous, no budget film attempts to be transgressive while not even trying to be artful. The goal was to rebel against the German film rating system and shock the most people possible. Does it succeed? We have our thoughts. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E288 Video Review - NEKROMANTIK

The 80s Grue-Crew's 3rd venture into anime horror is based on Hideyuki Kikuchi’s 1983 novel illustration by Yoshitaka Amano, filled with beautiful imagery and vampire noblemen, dhampirs, vampire hunters, demons, and creatures, all with strange powers. Enjoy our talkabout! 

S05E289 Video Review - VAMPIRE HUNTER D

This 1st US found footage horror film set many of the tropes that became standard in the as yet unnamed found footage subgenre. FoundFootageCritic.com's founder joins the Grue Crew to add his expertise. As rough as it is, it's a landmark film!  Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E290 Video Review - THE MCPHERSON TAPE

Ten teenagers party at an abandoned funeral parlor on Halloween night. What could go wrong? Steve Johnson's FX and Linnea Quigley's and Amelia Kinkade's performances make this cult classic a fun watch. Don't forget that fun FX gag with lipstick. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E291 Video Review - NIGHT OF THE DEMONS

THE UNNAMABLE, 1988, is a good-looking movie with excellent practical FX and gore, but is a bit of a slog in the watching. The creature is more banshee, harpy, or demon than she is Lovecraftian, but again, the effects are excellent. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E292 Video Review - THE UNNAMABLE

Directoed by Alfredo Zacarías with Samantha Eggar, Stuart Whitman, and Roy Jenson, this one features very active severed hands defying the laws of physics. Unintentionally funny in places, the film still manages to pack a horror punch. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E293 Video Review - DEMONOID

WOLFEN, 1981 is the other wolf-related movie of 1981. This troubled production features Albert Finney, Diane Venora, Edward James Olmos, Gregory Hines, Tom Noonan, interesting FX, and excellent cinematography. There is much to discuss. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E294 Video Review - WOLFEN

Exhibiting some of the same style w/d Michael Mann used in his hit series "Miami Vice," MANHUNTER is a fine looking movie with an excellent cast. Based on the Thomas Harris novel Red Dragon (1981), this is Hannibal Lecter's debut on film. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E295 Video Review - MANHUNTER

The 80s Grue-Crew head back to sequel land for this episode. The Crew love the cast and the practical effects, but found the story lacking� with reasons. And then there was that 30-min Cox-Hopkins-Lecter debate. What a fun episode! Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E296 Video Review - POLTERGEIST II: THE OTHER SIDE

A Disney film based on Ray Bradbury�s screen adaptation of his own 1962 novel. The cast excels and it still has that Bradbury feel of years gone by in one�s youth. As Bradbury is quoted as saying, "(it�s) not a great film, no, but a decently nice one.� Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E297 Video Review - SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

Very loosely based on serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, this film is an disturbing watch. Stuart Gordon called it �too bloody for the art crowd and too arty for the blood crowd.� The Crew have mixed reactions, too, which makes for a much better discussion. Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E298 Video Review - HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER

Director Umberto Lenzi uses a mixture of zombie & vampire tropes that manages to confuse some of the Grew Crew a little bit. Then there�s the ending. It�s maybe the worst (or best, depending on your point of view) ending ever, times two! Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E299 Video Review - NIGHTMARE CITY

The Crew marks episode 300 w/a list: One �favorite� film for ea. year of the decade from ea. host, no repeats, 40 films packed into one episode. Remember, these are the Crew�s �favorites,� not the best, most popular, or biggest box office movies.Enjoy our talkabout!

S05E300 Video Review - GRUE CREW FAVORITES BY YEAR 1980-1989

Season 5

What started as HOUSE III, became this film when execs tried for another horror icon with the semi-supernatural killer, Meat Cleaver Max (Brion James). Lance Henricksen excels & the f/x from KNB Group are frequently spectacular. But script? ...hmm. Enjoy our talkabout!

S06E302 Video Review - THE HORROR SHOW

For ep 303, Doc selects a little known, often overlooked slasher from the early 1980s featuring Linda Blair, Peter Barton, and Vincent Van Patton. Fake Scooby-Doo scares combine with supernatural events... eventually. What will we think? Enjoy our talkabout! 

S06E303 Video Review - HELL NIGHT

This epic Arthurian fantasy is one of Bill's absolute favorites, a classic that deserves more attention! It holds up today with lavish visuals, scale beyond its runtime, and a cast that have provided movie fans with hundreds of great films between them. Enjoy our talkabout!

S06E304 Video Review - EXCALIBUR

S06E305 Video Review - PREDATOR

Then teenage director (J.R. Bookwalter) accomplishes something remarkable w/this film. The practical FX are quite enjoyable & bloody, but the dialog, acting & editing are cringe. But, dude, it was filmed on SUPER-8! Maybe it's so bad, it's good? Enjoy our talkabout!
