The Blob (1988)
One day you're sitting in a tree smoking a cigarette, thinking about how you're gonna jump the broken down old bridge at Elkin's Grove. The next day you're fighting off some huge unrelenting pink pile of ooze that just spread into town. "How did you get here" you might ask yourself. If you're Brian Flagg (Kevin Dillon), you'd probably be asking yourself the exact same thing. Life was so easy just being a juvenile delinquent. Now you're just trying to survive The Blob.
Deathsport
The future is a pretty dreary place. Wars, famine, plagues, etc. Kinda makes you not want to see it. Thankfully, today's story takes place 1,000 years after tomorrow, so unless there's some kind of cure for everything released pretty soon or cryogenics steps up its' game, we won't have much to worry about. See, in this future a neutron war takes place. No, neutrons don't fight each other, I'm guessing it's some kind of war that has to do with neutron bombs. After the war, the world consists of vast deserts and large city-states. If you're not in a city state, then you don't use machinery (except weird floodlight/gun things) and you're probably a mutant. Unless, of course, you're a guide - which is an ancient warrior that lives only by it's own code. If you are a guide, though, you're hunted down to participate in the only punishment that's still allowed in this distant future. That punishment is Deathsport!
LifeForce
Picture this... it's 1985 and script writers need some ideas (well, when I put it that way, it's 2011 and script writers still need some ideas!) Halley's Comet is coming around in a year and there's quite a bit of mystery surrounding it. It only shows up once every 75 years, and it's one of the few true mysteries that are still floating around in our solar system - why not write some movies about it? "Night of the Comet" already covered the zombies aspect so let's write our script about space vampires (actually, it's based off of a 1976 novel called "Space Vampires" of all things, but this is my review dammit so keep your hoity-toity literature insight to yourself)! We don't want to keep the title "Space Vampires" though, it might sound too cheesy. Let's change the title to LifeForce instead, and we'll make the connection between vampires and Halley's Comet down below the break. Also, be warned that some of the images below the break may be NSFW
The Breed (2001)
There are hundreds, if not thousands of vampire movies made every day… no seriously, there are too many to count! Some are good, some are bad. Some the vampires are perfect beings who are beautiful and glitter in the sun. Some stay more true to the myth that sunlight burns/destroys them. Basically what I’m trying to say is there is a vampire movie for everyone’s taste. I’ve already found my favorite of all time, From Dusk Til Dawn. Plus I recently purchased my second favorite, Let Me In. So why I decided to check out a friend’s NOT recommendation about a vampire movie she recently saw is well beyond my comprehension. Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment, maybe Adrian Paul as a British vampire peaked my interest. Either way, I spent 90 minutes of my life watching The Breed, from 2001.
