Letterboxd — Your life in film

"And if, in fact, the zombie virus is not passed through blood but saliva, then why am I not a zombie? I mean, lord knows that Rigo and I have swapped an awful lot of spit as well as bodily fluids in the last couple of days, mutually consented, of course, but then I should be a zombie. But why am I not, Dr. Avon?"
"Too much information, Chrissy."

I don't know. I still find this delightfully stupid. I doubt that anyone else will ever find this to be as fun as I do, but that's everyone else's loss, not mine.

"I'm not weak. I'm not my mother."

It's an impressive cast for such a by-the-numbers horror film. There were no surprises in this at all.

"All right, look. Whoever it is, I know who you are."

Everything in this film makes as much sense as that quote. The best thing about it is Linnea Quigley in an early role. Vanna White also shows up and isn't bad in her role as a blabbermouth who inadvertently seems to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Good... Good heavens, it looks like they're having a conversation. Oh... Why, Shindo, what do you think they're saying to each other?"
"Huh, how would I know? You expect me to understand monster talk?"

Godzilla looks so indignant when Rodan pecks him in the forehead...

"What's the matter, Judy? Don't you like your blind date?"

Night of the Demons is the kind of goofball horror film that the '80s gore scene thrived on. The characters are all assholes, minus one or two of them, of course, because somebody has to live through all of this, the effects are beautifully nasty and the plots are simple. No pontificating about the wrongs of our society, just young people wanting to party and dying for picking the wrong place to do it.

"I've had fifty-six lovers and haven't killed even one of them."

If not for the opening scene The Psychic could have been rated PG-13, something I didn't expect at all from a film directed by Lucio Fulci. However, do not let that be a deterrent because The Psychic is a very interesting film with a strong story that unravels bit by bit during its 97 minute run time. It's an excellent paranormal mystery, the type that doesn't get made often enough. Quite a nice surprise.

"Six people left in the world and one of them is Bill fucking Murray. I know that's not your middle name. I've been watching you since I was like... Since I could masturbate. I mean, not that they're connected."

It's been too long since I've watched Zombieland. This film just connected with me in a way that felt right from the opening credits and that doesn't happen anywhere near often enough. It's just my idea of fun.
