Watched City of the Living Dead (1980) by an author from letterboxd.com
A psychic participates in a séance where she sees a vision of a Dunwich priest hanging himself in a church cemetery, causing her to die of fright. New York City reporter Peter Bell investigates the séance and learns that the priest's suicide has somehow opened a portal to Hell and must be sealed by All Saints Day, or else the dead will overtake humanity.

This film has almost no interest in anything beyond its makeup and effects. The story would fit on a Post-It note.

Of the effects, the Rice Krispie/maggot fountain was my favourite.

★★

Watched The Abyss (1989) by an author from letterboxd.com
A civilian oil rig crew is recruited to conduct a search and rescue effort when a nuclear submarine mysteriously sinks. One diver soon finds himself on a spectacular odyssey 25,000 feet below the ocean's surface where he confronts a mysterious force that has the power to change the world or destroy it.

Loved this film as a young teen. Some super performances and amazing effects work, especially the miniatures. Essential sci+fi.

Watched The Mighty Ducks (1992) by an author from letterboxd.com
After reckless young lawyer Gordon Bombay gets arrested for drunk driving, he must coach a kids hockey team for his community service. Gordon has experience on the ice, but isn't eager to return to hockey, a point hit home by his tense dealings with his own former coach, Jack Reilly. The reluctant Gordon eventually grows to appreciate his team, which includes promising young Charlie Conway, and leads them to take on Reilly's tough players.
