The CGI hasn’t aged well but everything else is drenched in blood and fun. Wesley Snipes is effortlessly cool.
Exhumed Films 24 Hour Horror-Thon Part XVII Movie #15
Another 24 Hour Horror-Thon in the books! Eternally grateful for Exhumed Films and the horror community they’ve built here. There’s nothing I look forward to more than this event and it’s always a pleasure experiencing it with all of you. Until next year!
Anyway, not Carpenter’s best by any means but I love vampires, enjoy anything with Catholicism even though I don’t practice anymore, and love the Horror-Thon closer energy so I was fully on board.
“Welcome to Cradle Bay High, Stevie Boy. Welcome to my nightmare.”
My love for 90s teen horror strikes again! It’s dumb as hell at times but if you can’t enjoy it that’s on you. The soundtrack fucking rips and is the highlight of the movie. The Flagpole Sitta needle drop when they’re leaving the asylum after Katie Holmes decks a psych patient? Unreal stuff.
At 84 minutes it’s a breeze but I think it could’ve used a little more time to flesh some things out. As expected, Bruce Greenwood and William Sadler deliver even with their short amount of screen time. Loved the sets too.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
“Eat this, you wankers!”
One thing you should know about me is that I will fuck hard with any late 90s horror action movie no matter how dated the CGI is. A cruise ship is such a great setting for a horror movie, too. Bloodier and creepier than I expected. When they stumble on the bones and all you can hear are the screams of the dead? That’s some great horror movie stuff!
