They just don’t make ‘em like this any more! Great fun, lavish production and a few laughs.
★★★★
The Resonator, a powerful machine that can control the sixth sense, has killed its creator and sent his associate into an insane asylum. When a psychiatrist becomes determined to continue the experiment, she unwittingly opens the door to a hostile parallel universe.
Pretty bonkers with a large helping of very “moist” visual effects. Hard to dislike, if you like that sort of thing!
★★★

Neat story but was never in much doubt as to where it was heading.
★★★

“I swear, I JUST looked there!”
All the windows are open. Watching horror movies with the subtitles on so the screaming doesn’t bother the neighbours 😂
In need of creative inspiration, a professionally stagnant and hard-partying Los Angeles artist recklessly indulges in a series of drug binges. As the narcotics fly out of control, so does her newfound and inexplicable, yet unquenchable, craving for blood.

★★★½
