Summary: A Bit Different
Review: This hypnotic horror film from 1986 is for the movie fan with a different taste. The cheap blood and guts scenes are worse off because of the roller coaster movements. The interesting but nauseating movements of the camera are intense if you???re stuck in the eighties. In my opinion they could have cut the fat and made this a short 30 min. T.V. show. One plus is that it???s a little freaky which makes it scary to a degree. The other plus is it get boring when you give up trying to understand the movie in a movie concepts they intend to entice you with. I watched this with my girlfriend so when she got bored with the movie or somehow scared by the odd images, I was there to hold.

Summary: Original and eerie
Review: This is a movie that producers know would not much moolah. It stars small time actors and has little going for it, other than plot. However, Bigas Luna uses this and adds a good dose of stylization that makes this sleeper better than the average flick. A very good movie that does not have you rolling your eyes (like many cheezy slasher flick tend to do) with it's plot holes and non-comical jokes.

Summary: Weird
Review: This movie was definatley weird. To sum it up it is a movie about a guy killing people while they are watching a movie about a guy killing people while they are watching a movie about dinosaurs killing people. Soud strange? Well it is. Just watch it to completly understand. It was in the making of a good B movie, but then it just dragged on. But it was decent

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HYPNOTIC !
Review: This underrated horror flick from 1986 should be seen by any movie fan intrigued by the hypnotic nature of film. The movie within a movie theme is taken to an ad nauseum degree in a hallucinogenic rollercoaster of gore and killings. There's a mad killer tearing eyeballs out of people watching a movie ("The Lost World") in a movie theater which in turn is being watched by an audience watching that movie in a movie theater which in turn we are watching (unfortunately at home and not in a movie theater)--what a mind trip that would have been!...and it doesn't even end there! It's a unique thriller which takes a theme from "Demons", but increases it ten-fold. This is a stunning widescreen 2.35:1 transfer....the old P&S VHS release really destroyed the whole design of the film....you need the entire panavison frame to get the complete effect that this is a film about film. Bizarre, gory, hypnotic....but most of all clever....check this one out...and stay for the end credits!
