I felt like Homer Simpson watching Twin Peaks – “Brilliant. I have absolutely no idea what’s going on.”

An interesting and challenging piece of movie history that’s not for everyone. I’m happy that Joe Bob Briggs picked it for The Last Drive-In.

One of the best 80s buddy cop movies. I’ll never understand why Treat Williams wasn’t a bigger star than he was. That guy is great.

I admired the heck out of the acting but there is way too much telling and not enough showing for me personally.

I wish DC would do a couple more animated anthology films like this one. I really enjoy the format and there are so many fringe characters you could introduce to new fans.

This movie is amazing. Tons of fun action and terribly tasteless jokes. God bless Troma and God bless Lloyd Kaufman!

I found this documentary endlessly fascinating because I was working for Blockbuster Video at the time this was all happening. Lots of weird things we went through now make sense with some context. I was surprised how close Blockbuster came to overtaking Netflix’s disc rental service.

You can’t argue this movie’s place in slasher history. Some of Tom Savini’s finest work. It’s a movie that makes you want to take a shower after watching. Everything is so disgusting.

Heavy on atmosphere, light on plot. Good performances all around. Just needs about 15 minutes cut out of the middle to tighten it up.

Borrows heavily from Evil Dead 2. Takes a while to get going but there’s a lot of fun to be had with the makeup effects.

I really liked this movie. The only problem I had with the movie is that I wish it spent more time with the main characters before everything went haywire. The world the filmmakers and actors built was so interesting I wanted more.

Some great action scenes surrounding a so-so plot. The standout has to be the extended, no cuts car/foot chase in the beginning of the movie.

Sardu and Ralphus are great characters but this movie kind of drags. No real plot, just scene after scene.

One of the great 80s classics. Lots of fun and a breeze to watch. Plus you get the second best head explosion ever.

Might have been better if they went all out and tied it into Cloverfield.
