The Thaw, 2009
Better than I would have expected. Some good practical gore effects kept my interest but I found all the poorly done day for night outside scenes to be very distracting.

One of those movies I heard about but never got around to watching. This movie is the exact reason The Last Drive-In exists. Thanks Joe Bob!
I’ve been a die hard fan since 1988 so I have heard of all these interviews already. That said, there’s still enough new material in Stern’s introduction to each interview to make this worth picking up.
One of those movies that you’ll remember it being far better than it actually is. The Stuff effects still hold up quite well for what you have to imagine was a super low budget movie.
Pretty enjoyable as far as 1980s Italian ripoff cinema goes. There was just enough exploding chests and goopy alien eggs to keep my interest.
Seemed more like a two part Justice League Unlimited episode more than a movie. It was nice to revisit that classic animation style and also having all the original voice actors back was a nice touch.
Still completely disturbing 30 years later. Everything about it seems too real and makes your skin crawl. I’m so glad Joe Bob picked this one for The Last Drive-In.
Oozing with enough atmosphere for 2 or 3 movies. I like how Zahler’s movies play out like novels. They take their time developing characters and their backstories before everything is turned upside down in a hail of bullets and buckets of blood.
A completely satisfying end to the 20+ movie saga that started way back in 2008. It’s unbelievable that something like this exists at this high of an enjoyable level and we got to enjoy it chapter by chapter while it unfolded.
Great poster art, poor Friday the 13th ripoff. The hot tub scene will haunt me until the day I die.
Such a weird and goopy movie. It takes forever to finally get to the fantastic final act. I love how it just ends.
I didn’t know anything about Theranos before the documentary and now I can’t get enough of this wild story. Hopefully the upcoming movie or tv series covers more of the aftermath and subsequent trials.
There’s a lot of waiting around until you get to that wildly entertaining finale. Cohen and Moriarty have to be one of the best director/actor combos of all time.
A really fun first 10 minutes followed by 90 minutes of almost complete boredom. And to top it all off was one of the most fascinatingly bad and misguided endings I have seen in a long time. If you liked the first two parts I guess you gotta finish it.
One of the most interesting stories in rock n roll told in the most boring way possible. Go watch the Behind the Music episode instead.
