So that's what we look like on the inside...! But yes, shamefully bad promotion for the films badly cut, refilmed and retitled US release 'Screamers'...

Who said pulp writers were hacks, this is Shakespearean. And this film needs no defence... 😄

Indeed, and the least said about it the better 😄 a post apocalyptic mess that has little to do with this, other than pinching much of it's footage. Best avoided...

Island of the Fishmen. 1979. Like Jules Verne and H G Wells had a crazy Italian lovechild. Dodge the US hack job and it delivers the monstrous Martino fun.

A bit of role playing never did anyone any harm. Apart from Phyllis Coates, obviously... 🐊

I'll take that, it's probably the nicest thing I've been called since the 70s 😆

Seriously, what kind of wife would deny her husband an alligator pit? Not judging, obviously....

It's worth the revisit. I saw this and the original at the cinema, the rest came later when I bought the Blu Ray boxset. Generally not a fan of franchise, but this is a great one.

Yep, works every time....

I remember antique. It was a few birthdays ago for me... 😆

To be fair that's pretty hard to top...

Retro and Vintage. Could be our Gladiator names...

We're not old, we're vintage...😅

He did indeed, love that film and all of the Irwin Allen shows that aired here in the UK. Land of the Giants was one of my favourites.

I do try, the problem being that everyone's younger... 😄

They wouldn't know cultcha if it smacked'em in the mush... 😄

Exactly, it's hardly Citizen Kane (thankfully, this is much more fun) but it nails the entertainment brief. Low budget schlock of the finest calibre.

There's an infectious enthusiasm at play here which I find irresistible. And I was wondering if you'd see The Bride. Great cast but the trailer put me off somewhat. I'm guessing you didn't enjoy it?

Can I have some please? I can pay you in Blu Rays...😂😂

It was our chat on Whit's billing status when I posted Teenage Werewolf a few weeks ago that prompted me to dig out this particular masterpiece! And your memory is solid sir, it bursts into gruesome colour for climatic impact... 😎

Barmy Bissell keeps the family business going in a delightfully demented slice of schlock. Frightful fun. Perhaps not what Mary Shelley had in mind though. 1957.

These things do have a habit of turning up at the back of an old warehouse somewhere, but they often take years so it probably won't happen in my lifetime. To be fair, hours of film are shot for everything prior to editing and they're usually unused for a reason. Would be a fascinating find though.

I agree, he's such an underrated director with so many great titles under his belt. Psychomania is a 70s classic...

You won't find me arguing there, I absolutely adore Joan Collins! It's probably no surprise she's been an idol of mine all my life 🖤

Love the original, I posted it here last week. I knew Coscarelli said he had far too much character building and cut a lot in post production to keep the pace moving, but I wasn't aware of a 3 hour version. Intriguing, but not sure I'd have the patience for that! 😱

It's impossible not to hear Scrimm when reading that, and it sends a shiver down my spine every time!

It's fantastic isn't it, I have it too! I upgraded to the Blu Ray boxset but I couldn't part with my Sphere DVD set...

Indeed, and I'm an absolute wimp... 🤓

I hear it did rather well, you must let me know what you think... 😄

That was me leaving the cinema as the credits rolled on this one...😱
