quote:Originally posted by the young warrior: Shadowzone features some pretty cool splatter effects,Meridian aka Phantoms has a great atmosphere,both have an abundance of female nudity especially Meridian with the two beautiful female leads Sherilyn Fenn and Charlie Spradling.
Meridian can be a little slow at times but never boring,Shadowzone the alien when revealed at the end in its true form looks a little underwhelming,Meridian is the better of the two movies when it comes to location shooting and is at times beautiful to look at whilst Shadowzone is certainly the more tense of the two.
Last night i watched Shadowzone too. Pretty decent flick from J.S. Cardone which plays out a lot like Galaxy Of Terror (1981) meets From Beyond (1986). And i couldn't help noticing it has more than a few things in common with the later Event Horizon (1997) too. Louise Fletcher and James Hong provide some star power, and like Young Warrior said, the effects are graphic and gory.
I still own Cardone's The Slayer (1982) on video, so maybe it's time to hook up the VCR and revisit that one !

Cool that you liked Shadowzone Johnny,The Slayer is great and in much need of a Blu Ray release,the old vipco Dvd release I watched of it sometime back was a bit of an embarrassment!

Really enjoyed Dr.Alien,thought it was seriously daft but also much funnier than what I had expected, Just One of The The Guys Billy Jayne aka Billy Jacoby was terrific in the lead role and there's quite a smattering of female nudity on display!
A lot of fun though obviously it won't appeal to everyone and I think from the cover alone (above) you can get a pretty good idea of what type of movie you are letting yourself in for!

This movie was a disappointment. It´s unatmospheric and you didn´t care about the characters at all.
The premise is interesting, norse evil unleashed and ragnarök (the end of the world) coming. They just don´t know what to do with the story and the monster (the wolf Fenrir) looks pretty bad. Avoid.

Watched Prom Night III: The Last Kiss (1990).
The series took a left turn here because this is more a spoof than anything else. It was a disappointing film because the cast, the characters and the story all lacked that something. The old school special effects (lasers and electricity) pleased me though and Courtney Taylor was smoking hot as Mary Lou Maloney. I would´ve followed her to hell in an instant to be her sex slave for all eternity

Prom Night 3 is the only one from the series I've yet to see,watching the trailer for it sometime back it did feel that they gone for a more comedic tone though did you know Atomik that part 3 is actually cut in most territories with I think the Australian DVD being one of the only uncut prints of the film in circulation!
Don't know if uncut it would make for a better movie but if the cast,characters and story are slightly lacking I wouldn't have thought so!

Yeah, i read it from Wiki and both my vhs tape and the finnish dvd were indeed edited versions. Then i found the uncut version from YouTube and quickly checked what i had missed but it´s really nothing that special.

"Carrying on the Prom Night tradition, this film begins back at Hamilton High School on Prom Night in 1957. As a young couple are enjoying a romantic moment together in the back seat of a car, they are interrupted by Father Jonas, a priest who slashes and immolates the lovers. Thirty years later, Jonas gets loose from the chapel basement where the church fathers had been secretly keeping him locked up and drugged. As luck would have it, it's prom night again, and group of four students have unfortunately chosen Jonas's hideout as their secluded getaway spot." (IMDb)
It´s back to serious horror with this sequel and i like the premise but the film includes too much aimless wandering and illogical behavior. Few effective death scenes (the burning crosses) and very hot lead actress Nicole de Boer can´t save this one.
