Dèmoni 2... l'incubo ritorna (1986)
Last of a great genre.
I may be wrong but to me you can see what Argento was trying to achieve.The obvious floor with the zombie movies was that you could run circles around them.Argento tried to keep you on the edge of your seat not by the intricate story lines nor by the gory effects but by the fact that these monsters aren't dead so therefore can catch you and all they have to do is knick you and you'll soon be one of them.I would agree with the good man before me that the first is better and does have a better atmosphere.And i do know what he means when he talks about the demon coming out of the telly,that takes it from possible reality horror to total fantasy horror. Still what a great horror film in the way that only a B-movie horror can do..
The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972)
I came, i've seen , but i cant remember.
I am now 35 and i was about 7 when i'd seen it for the first and only time and to be perfectly honest i remember little about it but i do know it scared me stiff and i had nightmares about this kinda monster for years because of it. The only sort of memory about this film is, i think it's a hairy little monster or maybe covered in leaves and it roams a wood.i'm sure there was a point of it where this thing stalks a particular house.I'd love to see it again(even though i'm sure i'd be disappointed),but living in england i'd never find it in any shop.Maybe i'll get it online but....Personly i'd recommend this film simply because it scared me rotten.
Dallas: Conundrum (1991)
Great soap,bad ending
I have ticked the spoiler but i guess it's that old now that everyone will have seen it that cares. What an absolutely dreadful ending to what was my favourite soap.In it's heyday Dallas walked all over Dynasty without ever really needing to try to hard, but for the devil to visit JR Ewing and show him what life would be like in a world without him was bizarre to say the least,was it a dream? Was it a psychosis induced hallucination? I don't know but what i do know is i wanted to see him getting the better of all his enemies one last time,to stitch up all those who crossed him was a must.JR needed to go out in a bang of glory not an episode that looked and felt pointless. For those who haven't seen it,stay away.As i said JR is visited by the devil when drunk alone on the ranch one night after saying everyone would be happier if he's never been born.Sure enough the devil gives him an insight into what this would be like,sure enough everyone is different and no one is happier.At the end of this the devil encourages JR to kill himself,at this time Bobby Ewing returns to hear a gun shot and when he bursts into JR's room his face has that look of anguish we've seen before on Dallas.But is JR dead. Well in 1996 JR returned came out,so there's your answer.
