I got to thinking about it one day and I got sad about no longer having something like the 80's glut of ridiculous horror. Due to the increase in popularity of the Slasher flick, horror fans got a ridiculous feast of horror. A prolific golden age where the concept of a horribly deformed human that looks like a lump of scar tissue, with arms and a face, that lived in a basket was so good that it got 3 movies.

There are, of course, still the occasional gems such as Thankskilling, but I still miss that wonderful age of never ending ridiculous horror that was actually fun to watch. Post your favorite clips from whatever era you prefer! If you can, include a short review.


Deadly Friend (1986):

This is a pretty basic bit of schlock. Boy moves to new town, gets robot friend named Sam. Sam gets jealous and starts killing those who hurt him or take up too much of his time. This movie is pretty enjoyable, but it has one scene that sends it leaps and bounds over many others.

The Keep (1983)

This is a bit of an odd one. Synth music playing everywhere, it's hard to take it too seriously just because it's so damn 80's, but it tries so hard to be taken seriously.The plot is that German soldiers take up post in a Keep during WW2. One of the soldiers releases a demon and soldier's start dying. Because of this, the SS show up to take over the post and be total murderous dicks, as Nazi's want to do. The Wehrmacht are not pleased. A Jewish professor and his daughter are brought in to figure out what's going on. More death and supernatural shenanigans occur.

If you want to watch it, it's both on Netflix and Youtube here.

Split Second (1992):

I love love love this movie. It stars Rutger Hauer, has the aesthetics of a cyberpunk dystopia and features what is hinted at being a Lovecraftian demon. After severe climate change,  most of London is under a foot or so of water in 2008 and Hauer is a rather unhinged detective. After a serial killer from Hauer's past shows up, tearing the heart from the chest of it's victims, they discover that the killerr takes the DNA of it's victims for an unknown reason and adds it to it's own. The creature taunts and lure Hauer into giving it chase by attacking it's victims, leaving clues and forcing him into a cat and mouse hunt.  I just really really love this movie and you should definitely watch it. Best way I've heard it described is thus: It's what happens when Bladerunner, Predator and Lethal Weapon have a baby.

I, sadly, have no contribution that comes to mind but I'm enjoying the hell out of this thread.

I'm glad! I was going to continue doing it even if it was just me wanking on about schlock all by my lonesome, but it's better if others are enjoying it.

Also, I just saw a review for Split Second that sums it up perfectly. It's what happens when Bladerunner, Predator and Lethal Weapon have a baby.
