Okay, tonight’s feature was Curse of the Doll People, a rip off of A. Merritt’s classic Burn, Witch, Burn. It was okay, I guess. Little doll monsters, an interesting Zombie, and a bad guy who was dumb as a post.
This marks the seventh review I’ve written as a buffer for the sister site. That’s 7/31.
And now the week’s summation. Here’s what I watched, with the scheduled dates for the full reviews. This may change–it’s a lot of Horror one after the other and I might want to through in some Sci Fi or Fantasy. Or a Golden Oldie.
Speaking of which, the week gaps you’ll see are where I already had Golden Oldies in place.
Anyways, in watch order:
- As Above, So Below (10/13/23)
- Demons (10/27/23)
- Demons 2 (11/10/23)
- Man Made Monster* (11/24/23)
- The Comedy of Terror (12/1/23)
- The Church (12/8/23)
- The Curse of the Doll People (12/15/23)
Next is the obligatory pointless Awards for the week:
Best Movie of the Week: As Above, So Below. Hands down the best one. The Comedy of Terror comes close.
Worst Movie of the Week: Man Made Monster.
Best Pizza Shlock: Demons 2. Almost wrote Demons by mistake.
Biggest Surprise: Man Made Monster is my first full review since I believe February. Which is nice. As Above, So Below being as good as it is gets it a mention here. Also in the running is The Church, which I honestly believed was Demons 3 at one point (which it is, but not the point I thought.)
Newest Film Watched: As Above, So Below at 2014.
Oldest Film Watched: Man Made Monster at 1941.
Most Sophisticated a Film: The Comedy of Terror. It quotes Shakespeare and that instantly classes things up. Which, now that I think about it, would mean the American Version of King Kong Versus Godzilla would be sophisticated for the same reason. That’s just wrong.
Film Not Even Mentioned In Passing in These Awards Despite Having Its Name in the Title: The Curse of the Doll People. I was feeling guilty, alright?
One week down, three weeks and a few days to go. Will I make a full month?
Never have before…
