{Warning: The review contains spoilers.} 1989. I’m sitting in my living room, watching a reruns of the TV show Batman (my favorite show at the time), and angered that I have suffer through a whole slew of commercials before I get to see how the episode is going to end. Suddenly a promo for tonight’s movie pops up; at first I’m not interested, as it looks like a lame ass zombie film, but that all changes when I hear the following exchange: Detective Cameron: I got good news and bad news, girls. The good news is your dates are here. Sorority Sister: What’s the bad news? Detective Cameron: They’re dead! After that, I feel that I MUST watch this movie, it is my duty, nay my destiny to do so. The movie, needless to say, is Night of the Creeps and I, being ten years old at the time, am absolutely mesmerized by everything that I have just seen. This film has EVERYTHING: Zombies, leeches (creeps) that shoot into people’s mouths, a hardboiled detective, a teenage love story,
This is a blog that is devoted entirely to film analysis. I tend to analyze movies in a historical context. What were the cultural trends at the time? Why was the rationale behind the movie? I also tend to write about lesser-known movies, as there really isn't much more that can be said about most mainstream movies. I hope you enjoy!!!
