John Carl Buechler’s weird fantasy-adventure from the Empire days stars a who’s-who of 80’s actors a movie like this could afford, including Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Sonny Bono and Michael Moriarty. Meanwhile, Edward Furlong creeps it up as a kid who cannot accept the death of his mother and eventually realizes he doesn’t have to. This one has a more straightforward antagonist in the form of Clancy Brown, who plays an abusive stepdad who was an ass before he went into the dirt and is only worse after.
Mary Lambert’s flawed but entertaining sequel to the 1989 original sees a new family move into the Creed home and begin the chain of bad decisions anew. An update on “The Monkey’s Paw,” it sees a family move into a house located near an Indian burial ground, where anything that’s buried in that earth comes back.
Anyway, just about everyone knows the story now. One of the most iconic Stephen King adaptations is swiftly becoming one of the most underrated, as people don’t seem to love this one too much anymore. A horror-based rock opera that the studio loathed but managed to get release and find an audience anyway. A fan-favorite, and a personal favorite for that matter, Repo was the movie Darren Lynn Bousman wanted to make before he even touched the Saw franchise.
