Reptilicus 2001 Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
You’d have to be pretty desperate to enjoy this cheesy Danish monster flick, imported by American International Pictures in 1962 to capitalize on Japan’s barely-better Godzilla movies. The titular beastie begins as the frozen tail of a prehistoric reptile, discovered when a scientific drill hits a bloody mass of monster flesh buried deep in the Lapland tundra. The tail is accidentally thawed (echoes of The Thing) and regenerates into a massive demon-lizard that spits fluorescent green ooze and terrorizes Copenhagen! Padded with archival military footage and stampedes of panicking Danes, the movie’s too earnest to be campy (save for some funny hamming by the science lab’s handyman) and too cheap to qualify as a guilty pleasure, with special effects that make rubber-suit romps like Godzilla look masterful by comparison. By the time an unwitting army general says, “It’s a good thing there are no more like him,” you may find yourself wishing he was right. —Jeff Shannon

Thale will be appearing in the Cannes film market this month. Epic Pictures took the Norwegian creature of folklore about a girl with a cow tail and has brought it to life in this horror movie. Some of the pictures are cool while others are pretty scary.
Since Halloween is so close, I thought we needed a nice Top 10 Kids Halloween Movies List. I created this list by asking my own sons for help on this. We came up with Halloween Town, Casper, Hocus Pocus, The Haunted Mansion, Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride, Coralina, Monsters Inc.,…
Chris Ethridge will be filming The Morningside Monster this late September. This is a brutal murder-mystery film and it may be a good one. There is some good movie stars attached to this title so let’s see what happens.
