Spookies. Thomas Doran, et al., 1985
😸
Edition screened: Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray #301, released 2019. English language. Runtime approximately 85 minutes.
Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals.
A lot of information about this boring film is available on line, and there are legitimate reasons that this boring film gets a lot of attention. Its production history and release history both are interesting, and the frequent gore/monster/zombie special effects are far, far superior to most films of similar age and budget.
But those special effects are the Spookies’ only redeeming attribute. It is “comedy-horror” at its worst, a last-place contestant in an almost last-place sub-genre second only to “comedy-porn” in unpleasantness. The film is 85 minutes of pushy juvenile comments disguised as comedy recited by the worst actors on earth portraying the most unappealing characters on earth.
