Gonz posted:I just read the entire synopsis for Lifeforce. Lifeforce is the most bananas film you'll ever see that's not trying to be wacky or out there. It's earnestly ridiculous. It's so mad that months after you see it, it'll be a haze of ridiculous and impossible imagery that makes no sense. It looks extremely 80s in that drop-off-into-black kind of way and and the cheap film stock has a kind of documentarian feel about it sometimes, especially in the steets at the end. The fact that the cast can keep a straight face is actually sort of amazing. It's by no means a a good film, but it does deserve watching.

Well, I think it works pretty well. I thought the puppets and effects were genuinely creepy and really unsettling when I only saw it a couple of years ago. When they obviously ran out of money at the end and just had people in zombie make-up running around instead of these things  it's a bit of a let down. The naked lady is good too.

I watch both of these by the way, Death Spa is just like you said, it's almost a little like Zombie Nightmare or something where it just seems like they were winging it at some point because they had no money. Very disappointing. Fatal Games, however, is surprisingly humorous and well done, not as good as Deathdream, De Lift or Sleepaway Camp 1. Maybe a little better than Silent Night Deadly Night 2. I'm sure you noticed there is a shitload of bad slashers uploaded by the same guy, let's go ahead and watch them all.

Very disappointing. Fatal Games, however, is surprisingly humorous and well done, not as good as Deathdream, De Lift or Sleepaway Camp 1. I definitely think some of the deaths were handled pretty well. The most effective ones were exactly what you expect from a javelin murder: swift, unexpected. Abrupt. It worked well in the first murder (the weightlifter pinned to the wall) and on the field (with the javelin thrower). It's kind of memorable in a way. Definitely better than Death Spa.

I finished Attack Of The Killer Refrigerator which was surprisingly great (as I mentioned in the General Chat thread) and Shadows Of The Mind which doesn't really reach its full potential (at all) even though it starts out promising with the protagonist's first person perspective and inner monologue which is sadly completely abandoned soon after, but it has a killer theme tune.

Not just the kills, though, the other scenes in the film setting the stage are a mix of 80's talent show stuff (I don't know why, but in the 80's there were so many films about people expressing themselves through gymnastics or dance or rollerskating or whatever and you have to get whole scenes of movies where someone is doing some kind of routine or kata) and post-Animal House style "situation" comedy. I would go so far as to say it actually hangs together despite most of the scenes being kind of an irrelevant hodgepodge. It's D-grade Altman. quote:Let's.

I tried to do this with Troma but remembered very quickly that Troma kind of sucks outside a handful of those movies.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I tried to do this with Troma but remembered very quickly that Troma kind of sucks outside a handful of those movies. So far this stuff is way better and far more interesting than Troma's stuff. I tried it too once, and I didn't get far. It's got some cult classics, definitely. But most if it is just trash. And most of them commit the cardinal sin of being uninteresting trash. Even Shadows of the Mind, in which very little actually happens, is a really interesting film. And no, this poster for the film is absolutely not indicative of the actual movie:  Mostly because it's the poster for a completely different film a decade older.

In a way I'm glad I saw it, but I'm almost certain I would never sit through this again. The problem with Lifeforce is that it's extremely badly edited. Putting the audaciously trippy and dreamlike outer-space sequence right at the beginning of the film cripples the whole thing. It should begin with the stiff-upper-lipped British dudes on the ground being mildly vexed by the mysterious goings-on. Instead, it's like if 2001 opened with the stargate sequence. The film simply cannot recover from that - and there's a lot of fatty exposition to trim, besides. SuperMechagodzilla fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Apr 9, 2013 |

Yes, the editing is at the top of the list of things I'd say is wrong with it. And in fairness it was cut down from a much longer running time so I'd always figured that a lot of poo poo wrong with that movie is because they had to hastily do a massive recut at some point.

Since 40% of Lifeforce consists of Mathilda May's bare breasts, that's all I really remember aside from the scene where Steve Railsback is hamming it up, hilariously trying to resist making out with Patrick Stewart on an operating table (who is possessed by Mathida May, who is a space vampire? It's been a while). This led me to look up Mathilda May on imdb. I learned that she also starred in a film appropriately titled "The Tit & the Moon". It's about a 9 year old boy who is jealous of his new baby brother getting all of his mom's breast-attention. So, he wishes upon the moon to bring him the perfect pair of lactating breasts that he can call his very own. Enter Mathilda May's breasts. I then saw the UK DVD cover and laughed for 5 minutes.   Maybe this movie is well known/regarded and I've been out of the loop, but what the hell? Has anyone seen this? Is it as hilariously insane as it seems?
