Rock & Rule (1983)
To Melt the Devil
It's 'Fritz the Cat' meets 'The Devil and Daniel Mouse' meets 'Heavy Metal' I was astounded at the level of animation and love that went into this film. I can't even believe that I had never heard of it before watching it now in 2016. It is absolutely 80's "retrotastic", with the soul of 'Fritz the Cat', the animation and story of 'The Devil and Daniel Mouse' and the atmosphere of 'Heavy Metal'. Anyone who loves the 80's and the animation it brought, of the likes of, Don Bluth, Ralph Bakshi and the team of animators from 'Heavy Metal' and the Nelvana animation production house, will love this film.
Also, with Don Francks (Dr. Claw on Inspector Gadget 1983) as Mok; and Lou Reed as the singing voice in "My name is Mok", is freaking awesome.
Cheap Trick also played many of the heavy tracks of the film which seals the deal with this film's immortality, and makes it a "must own" for 80's lover's. Gotta say if you love the 80's and have never seen it, why are you not watching it now. Seriously, wth are you waiting for.
The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
Edge of your seat....Great horror movie remake
I loved this movie, and not because it was gory or violent. This is horror suspense at its finest. First, the characters are honest, caring people who you grow attached too fairly quickly. The sense of family relationships are established quickly and essentially to provide the tension and fear of the attacks. Second, the acting isn't "cheesy" as it is often the case with b-movies. The generally unknown actors give the movie a sense of realism that high grossing actors couldn't accomplish. The acting is actually quite good. Third, the story is all in all believable and the plot is well drawn out. Fourth the cinematography is excellent, you feel as your almost there. The special effects are top notch and seem very real. The suspense is "edge of your seat", HOWEVER the movie is quite violent and at some times disturbing. Nevertheless, This is a quality horror remake that is a must see for horror fans who want to be scared; which is why we watch these movies in the first place.
