Demon Seed (1982)





Last night, from the YouTube channel The Burial Ground5, I watched this weird, cheesy, sleazy and unintentionally hilarious flick called Demon Seed.













A woman named Lisa is living in a beach house with her architect husband Burt, and their teenage daughter Michelle. Since Burt is so busy with work, he’s neglecting Lisa. The daughter starts seeing odd things and suspecting that there’s something wrong in the house, as well as noticing the growing tension between her parents. A demon woman named Belline appears, with a scheme to try and take possession of the family, and takes advantage of Lisa’s loneliness by having her be seduced by the spirit of a handsome man. Disturbed by his wife’s increasingly bizarre behavior, Burt seeks the help of his friend’s psychic wife Ann Marie, in an effort to get to the bottom of the strange things happening at their home.












This movie was so damn cheesy and had me laughing multiple times, with its outrageous scenes of supernatural shenanigans, including a demonic black cat, glowing eyes, a face that appears on a wall, a decapitation and scenes of the wife being seduced by a ghost (she spends half the movie naked and making orgasmic groaning sounds). I’m not sure what they were going for, as the end result consists of them throwing a bunch of ridiculous, random things at the wall to see what sticks. David Carradine even makes a brief appearance as a priest. Between the bad acting, the ridiculous, nonsensical storyline, cheesy synthesizer music and bad sound design (there's a few scenes where the background noise drowns out the dialogue spoken by the characters), this is a bad movie lover’s dream. It was known under a bunch of different titles, including Satan's Mistress, Demon Rage, Fury of the Succubus and Dark Eyes. If you happen to catch this, you’ll know it for how hilariously awful it is.

Ultraman Omega finale

Episode 25, the series finale of Ultraman Omega aired this Friday. From the very first episode I was hooked, and the series continued to maintain a high quality until the surprisingly emotional end. Sorato (Omega) regained all his memories, learning that he was one of many Space Gazers, who's job is to watch a planet and not interfere with any wars between the species (in Earth's case, humans and kaiju). A space Gazer's job is to observe, study and take notes, to learn from a planet's successes and mistakes, in the hopes of finding the right formula to achieve universal peace. Having returned to his previous role as simply a watcher, Kosei, Ayumu and Sayuki were forced to rely on themselves and their team to defeat the powerful kaiju Zomera. As he continued to watch the battle, Sorato/Omega found himself wrestling with the inactive role he was meant to do and his memories of the friendships he had forged with the others, as well as the examples of human kindness he had ...

S.H. Figuarts Father of Ultra

Last week I received the latest SHF Showa Ultra figure, the one and only Father of Ultra, who made his debut in the series Ultraman Ace. He’s the 1st of the two Ultra related August releases I had pre-ordered (the other being Ace Killer). Father of Ultra is easily recognized by the huge horns on his head. The rest of his body is the standard red and silver color scheme that the other original Ultra brothers have (different colors wouldn’t be introduced until Ultraman Tiga decades later). Bandai did a fine job in capturing his look, much more accurate than the highly stylized Ultra Act version, which made him quite muscular. For his accessories, he comes with 6 pairs of hands (fists, two sets of holding, 2 sets of flat/karate chop, and grappling). He has an extra right flat hand that shoots out his signature beam, called the Father Shot. What makes this different from other releases is that the beam and hand are 2 separate pieces, with a clear plastic peg on the side of the fingers that...

S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Arc

With the release of Tsuburaya's new Ultra series that premiered some weeks ago, we now have a figure of the its from Bandai's S.H. Figuarts line. Upon seeing the promos for the series, I initially thought it would be rather silly and I wasn't expecting much. To my surprise, I'm really enjoying this show. I find it well written, the characters are likable, and Arc has a lot of personality. I haven't enjoyed a new Ultra series this much since Z. So I went ahead and purchased the figure of Arc. It was pretty cheap, and was delivered from AmiAmi earlier this last week. I opted for the plain figure. They also have two other versions of him wearing his armor up for pre-order. The orange Solis Armor version, which is due in October, and the blue Luna Armor, which is due in November. Anyway, Arc resembles Ultraman Orb, especially the shape of his head. He's primarily red and silver, with black on his shoulders, upper chest and neck. He sports a blue crystal in the middl...
