Troll 2 (1990) ***

"They're eating her! And then they're going to eat me! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!" "What about the beautiful liberated girls?" "You're a genius, big sister!" One of the WTFiest films I've ever seen. Immensely entertaining. Claudio Fragasso Films Ranked

Demolition Man (1993) ***1/2

"Mellow greetings. What seems to be your boggle?" "He's finally matched his meat. You really licked his ass." "Be well." "Be fucked."

 "Unicorns. They were unicorns." A pivotal childhood picture and a forever favorite. Wolfgang Petersen Feature Films Ranked

Night Of The Demons (1988) ***

Image
"Eat a bowl of fuck! I am here to PARTEEE!" Night Of The Demons   (1988) definitely feels like a riff on the  Evil Dead  and  Nightmare On Elm Street   franchises .  I t was released a year after  Evil Dead II  [ review ] and a few months after  A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master  [ review ].  NOTD  is not as good as either of those films—it's slow to get going, it meanders, and its characterization is thin. But there is fun to be had, and it has a scrappy quality that I can't help but admire. There are some nicely shot scenes, the makeup effects are decent,  this track  by director  Kevin Tenney 's brother  Dennis  (who scored the film) is a ripper, and  Linnea Quigley ...need I say more?

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987) **

Incredibly bizarre and tonally confounding, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987) is definitely not a "good" film, but it's not nearly as bad as its reputation suggests (and it has a surprising amount of heart). It's mostly a stupid movie, but it's entertaining (to me). The jokes are (naturally) disgusting (and repetitive), but just the fact that this picture exists is...something.
