Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion – 1996

Attack of the Legion is the second Gamera film, starting with The Guardian of the Universe. This time the threat comes from outer space, a gigantic insect-like alien which in turn is built up by smaller units. The government tries to fight it off but stands helpless (of course). Their only hope is Gamera even if he’s still not considered an ally. Nevertheless, Gamera takes on the fight with the gigantic creature from outer space...

Gamera: Guardian of the Universe – 1995

In Guardian of the Universe, an atoll is discovered in a place where there shouldn’t be one. Furthermore, it moves. Scientists are astonished by the discovery but can’t really figure it out. At the same time, gigantic birds with wingspreads of 10 meters or more are discovered. No one knows where they came from or why they have appeared now, but they seem to be genetically created. No creature has such a perfect DNA strain!...

Bermuda Island 0

Bermuda Island – 2023

Bermuda Island is not really about the Bermuda Island. Well, it kinda is, but still not. There are mysteries for sure and it deals with unknowns. But let’s start from the beginning. There are a few events leading up to the airplane lifting off and going to Costa Rica. There’s a criminal in custody onboard and a few other strong characters. It seems to men that they tried to create a rich gallery of characters....

Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon – 2008

Since the full title of this movie – Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon is a bit long, I will keep referring to it as plain and simple Yeti. It’s a creature I was always fascinated by. I know that there are multiple names for this mythical creature. And, it also depends on where in the world it’s claimed to live. In the United States, it’s either Bigfoot or Sasquatch. But in the Himalayas it’s...

Godzilla 0

Godzilla – 1954

I wanted to write about Godzilla, or Gojira for a long time. It may not be the mother of all monster movies but it’s not far from it. Few films have had such an impact on the monster movie industry. It would be interesting to research a bit but it is my firm belief that without this movie, there wouldn’t be many of the giant monster movies we see all over the place today. Of...

The Loch Ness Horror – 2023

I’ll be frank right from the top. I didn’t understand The Loch Ness Horror at all. First of all, I don’t understand why they called in anything with Loch Ness in it. As far as I understand nothing happens in a sea whatsoever. I might have misunderstood the premises but my interpretation is that it all happens in the ocean, exactly where it is uncertain though. But they somehow find the Loch Ness Monster in...

Teen Wolf 0

Teen Wolf – 2011-2017

I was kind of reluctant to start to watch the Teen Wolf series from the 2010s. The reason had really nothing to do with the series at all. But I once saw scenes from the 1985 movie with Michal J Fox with the same name. I never saw the entire movie, just a few scenes, and thought it looked so ridiculous that I just skipped it. Add also the fact that when this movie came...

The Terror Within – 1989 – An Alien Clone

I saw The Terror Within for the first time on rental VHS back in the day. It was a cool movie back then, I really liked it. It had a cool monster and the story was more or less Alien all over again. It’s not set in space though, but underground. Same difference I think. the important thing is that it’s a closed space where you really can’t escape from. Of course, neither is true...

The Bigfoot Trap 0

The Bigfoot Trap – 2023

When I first started to watch The Bigfoot Trap I couldn’t take it too seriously. It was something with the opening scenes that didn’t exactly ooze confidence of quality. You’ll notice that too if you choose to see it. And I think that you should! Now only if you’re a fan of Bigfoot movies. I know there are a lot of them out there and I, myself, have only seen a handful of them. With...

Jeepers Creepers 3 0

Jeepers Creepers 3 – 2017 – The 3rd film or 2nd?

When I saw Jeepers Creepers 3 just the other day I had absolutely no recollection of the previous two movies in the series. I knew I’d seen them but much more details than that were beyond my memory. That’s kind of the story of my life. I usually remember my impressions of movies but seldom details like the plot… I did remember that the second one talked place on a school bus, which turned out...

Bird Box 0

Bird Box -2018 – Sandra Bullock

It’s no secret that I often enjoy older movies more than newer ones. I wouldn’t go so far as to consider it a rule but there’s often a lot more “body” to older flicks. Some of the more modern ones tend to tell a story for the sake of bringing along a lot of special effects. I’m not saying that this is the case here since Bird Box is quite short on such extravaganza. The story is...

Arena 0

Arena – 1989 – Sci-fi monster classic

Maybe you haven’t heard about this movie Arena? I think it’s quite forgotten and it’s certainly acquired taste. For me it was entertaining to watch, I didn’t find it amazing but I would conclude that this type of movie couldn’t have been made today. The effects and monsters are practical, no CGI. For me, that’s a huge plus. I don’t really mind CGI when it’s well done for that matter but the computer-generated effects seldom...
