I gave up on Humanoids from the Deep after about 15 minutes.I thought Prom Night was okay, it’s mildly entertaining, even though it’s crappily made. I remember liking Bronco Billy, but I haven’t seen it since I was a kid, so I don’t know what I would think of it now. Inferno is my worst movie of 1980. It’s also the worst Dario Argento movie I’ve seen. Interesting trivia: Argento was reportedly so ill while making Inferno that Mario Bava was directing most of the scenes. (This explains so much for me.) What? You missed out on the best thing, the crazy viking-rape pillage part near the end, so you should have just skipped right onto the last 10-15 minutes of pure horny fishmen mutant mayhem.   Of course, I cannot guarantee it would fit your liking, but yeah, that last scenery seems to be quite notorious, at least among horror fans. Prom Night I thought was quite dull, in fact the sequel I enjoyed way more. Inferno is one I think is among the most stunning in visuals of his films, but the story is probably not among his better. I always want more, but constantly end up with 7/10, which is not bad, but compared to Suspiria, Phenomena and Deep Red, it is just not on that level of entertainment and quality.

Well, time is running out on me for today, so I will try to finish it off with this and another one:
1980, here we go:
01. The Alien Dead - 2/10
02. The Boogey Man - 2/10
03. Shogun’s Ninja - 2/10
04. Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype - 3/10
05. Private Benjamin - 3/10
06. Double Negative - 3/10
07. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - 3/10
08. Night of the Zombies - 4/10
09. Spetters - 4/10
10. The Godsend - 4/10
The Alien Dead, "classic" Fred Olen Ray crap, disguised with a great title and artwork, which is why I was lead into buying it, years ago.
Spetters by Paul Verhoeven is probably not a bad film, but contains some scenes of graphic which I surely could do without.
Private Benjamin is also maybe not that bad, but I am just not a big fan of Goldie Hawn, specially in comedy, maybe beside her future partner Kurt Russell in Overboard, that one I quite like very much.

I’d like to give Humanoids another try actually. Considering all the bad and cheaply made monster movies of that era, I still believe Humanoids rised above, due to having such an amount of talents both onscreen and behind, that it did provide something a bit different to the usual "rubberman in suit" creature features. But it sure helps, if one is a bit interested in that kind of entertainment.

Oh, and that last scene...well, I'm not going to spoil it but it sure is nasty!

I watched the entire movie and have rarely been as uninterested as I was while watching this movie.
