Monster Dog(1984)

Even Alice Cooper (unbelievably young here) can't save this dog of a movie. Maybe it is because it is now so old, maybe it was because it was before special effects, maybe it was rubbish when it was released. Good for Alice Cooper fans (it's worthwhile catching a moment of that) but good luck with being able to get to the end with this one.

Monsieur FU

As a werewolf movie this flick from 1984 doesn't work that well. There are much better movies with this theme. Nonetheless, this movie is entertaining: Alice Cooper acts well and has two musical scenes with unreleased songs that were releases in 1999. The other cast is solid. The camera work is well done. The movie is well shot, the pacing and lightning of the sets and scenes are good and create an atmosphere of danger, fright and unease. The Original Score is standard for 80s horror flicks inspired by Carpenter and Goblin: synth soundtrack, that gets its job done. The story itself is not that new and surprising. Feels like a hommage to Edgar Allan Poe and the Hammer studios with the typical touch of 80s italian horror movies. The specal effects, especially the creature effects, look cheap and not convincing. Some make up effects are ok. For lovers of 80s horror flicks and Alice Cooper recommended.
