stefancrosscoe The thing I remember the most about ‘Full Eclipse’ is Mario Van Peebles’ Max Dire. That name!

‘The Mutilator’ And ‘Summer Camp Nightmare’ were two films a friend lent me. I remember being disappointed by both. ‘The Mutilator’ had some great gore scenes, but something about the story didn’t draw me in. While ‘Summer Camp Nightmare’ was more along the lines of my expectations being different to what I got.

As for campus slasher ‘Final Exam’ - I hated it the first time I saw it... but now i kinda like it. It can be slow going and heavy on the character dramas, but it doesn’t bother me now. I actually find the cat and mouse climax between the killer and the final girl to be rather well done.

Great write-up of Full Eclipse, I forgot about the panther/cougar growls of the "werewolves", it kind of got a bit "overused" at times, but still I enjoyed it for the whole b-movie action-horror theme or vibe it had going. But yeah, I wished they would maybe focus a bit more on the action part, but with a low budget (I guess) they just had to make use of what they got, and it turned into a nice little positive movie for my part.

Max Dire was quite a striking name, almost something like Max Power (The Simpsons I think made great use of that one), but then again the 80s and early 90s were a great time for macho-manly names.

Mario Van Peebles I have always thought of as one of those who really should have gotten a way bigger career as an potential action star, I mean he had some great films back in the day, but sadly seemed to end up rather fast into the whole video-movie or DTV section, but I do noticed he has done maybe even better work at times, behind the camera than in front of it.

The Mutilator sure had some good gore, but the campy and cheesy mood kind of over-shadowed the little potential it had going, to ever being "scary".
Summer Camp Nightmare I think was very good at times, just wished it actually could go a little darker, as it had so much going on, but still I did not expect too much, but ended up really enjoying that one.

The "best" thing I liked with Final Exam, was the very cool looking movie poster, and that was pretty much what I had to go on, but after watching it, I sadly do not think I will ever re-watch it for a second time.
