The Dead Zone (1983) 89% EDIT “ The Dead Zone remains a dissatisfying experience.” – Starburst Aug 1, 2022 Full Review Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) 60% EDIT “An entertaining fright work, slickly made, amusing and scary by turns.” – Starburst Aug 1, 2022 Full Review The Dark Crystal (1982) 78% EDIT “The Dark Crystal is such a dud... it's dull.” – Starburst Jul 29, 2022 Full Review The Evil Dead (1981) 85% EDIT “Raimi never goes for the easy scare... it is this originality in staging and story that makes one aware that we are seeing the first work of a major new talent.” – Starburst Jul 29, 2022 Full Review The Thing (1982) 85% EDIT “ The Thing fully realizes its potential as a thriller of nightmare proportions. ” – Starburst Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Conan the Barbarian (1982) 67% EDIT “ Conan is terrible, a truly disappointing movie from beginning to end.” – Starburst Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Cat People (1982) 66% EDIT “The Cat People is worth seeing, provided you're not prudish or particularly squeamish. It certainly is a failure, but an interesting on” – Starburst Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Quest for Fire (1981) 88% EDIT “A movie so rich in entertainment and genuine emotion which seems to race through its hundred minute running time like an express train.” – Starburst Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Deadly Blessing (1981) 44% EDIT “Deadly Blessing is no masterpiece to be sure, but it does make for an entertaining old fashioned horror movie, and amidst the welter of slash and stalk gore, this is welcome indeed. ” – Starburst Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Ghost Story (1981) 28% EDIT “The printed word doesn't necessarily translate well to the screen and the overall effect is bitty and therefore unsatisfying. ” – Starburst Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Possession (1981) 86% EDIT “Possession is a film about low trash masquerading as high art. ” – Starburst Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Wolfen (1981) 78% EDIT “Wolfen is not a werewolf movie. Exactly what it is I'm not sure, but don't let my uncertainty put you off what is, for the most part, an enjoyable film.” – Starburst Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Escape From New York (1981) 85% EDIT “Sixty per cent a perfectly realized film. ” – Starburst Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Excalibur (1981) 73% EDIT “Excalibur can be regarded as a personal epic, a humanizing of mythological figures and on this level the film works superbly, aided by some remarkable performances.” – Starburst Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Clash of the Titans (1981) 63% EDIT “For me, Clash of the Titans fails as a film because its dramatic structure is so unsound.” – Starburst Jul 27, 2022 Full Review The Incredible Shrinking Woman (1981) 27% EDIT “The Incredible Shrinking Woman is a fun picture, although its savage satire occasionally gets in the way of the laughs.” – Starburst Jul 26, 2022 Full Review Motel Hell (1980) 63% EDIT “Even though Motel Hell does fall between the two stools of horror and comedy rather clumsily at times, it is an interesting variation in horror cinema. ” – Starburst Jul 26, 2022 Full Review Inferno (1980) 65% EDIT “The real problem with the film lies not with the technical execution of the piece, rather it rests with the story, or lack of it... Inferno then is an exercise in style over content.” – Starburst Jul 26, 2022 Full Review The Final Countdown (1980) 52% EDIT “A disaster.” – Starburst Jul 26, 2022 Full Review The Toolbox Murders (1978) 13% EDIT “Toolbox Murders is one of those thoroughly tasteless exercises in schlock that American film makers revel in. ” – Starburst Jul 25, 2022 Full Review Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) 93% EDIT “A superb fantasy treatment... perhaps the most perfectly realized film yet based on the Vampire legend.” – Starburst Jul 22, 2022 Full Review Warlords of the 21st Century (1982) EDIT “Cokliss is an interesting talent, but he still has much to learn about story construction and characterisation, for after it's well handled opening the film stutters and sputters along a bit like Hunter's motorbike.” – Starburst Apr 14, 2020 Full Review The Plague Dogs (1982) 70% EDIT “Long winded and generally unpleasant.” – Starburst Apr 14, 2020 Full Review The Watcher in the Woods (1980) 52% EDIT “The Watcher in the Woods is actually not bad at all and brings back happy childhood memories of such other Disney items.” – Starburst Apr 14, 2020 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “Tron, simply and purely, is one of the most original movies of all time — a genuine Fantasia for the 80s. ” – Starburst Apr 10, 2020 Full Review
