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.

S.H. MonsterArts King Kong '21

The next May pre-order to arrive is S.H. MonsterArts King Kong from the Godzilla vs. Kong film. I was psyched to get a highly articulated Kong from Tamashii Nations, and the great ape is finally here. Kong is a little shorter than Godzilla (just like in the film). The details of the sculpt are all well done. Tamashii Nations did a good job capturing his look well, from his hair covered body to a few scars on his chest. His faces, including his eyes and teeth on the open mouth head, as well as his axe, are all well painted. The only issue is that they seemed to have gone with a glossy finish, so he seems too shiny, especially on his face and chest. A duller matte shade would've suited him better. At least it would've kept him from looking like he over-moisturized. As for his articulation, he's quite flexible. His head is on a ball joint, ball jointed neck as well, ball jointed shoulders and thighs, upper arm cut, single jointed elbows and knees that go in further than 90 deg...

Titanic Creations Yongary 1967

This figure was released in late December, and I got it about 2 days before the New Year, so I'm counting it as a 2025 release. It is the Titanic Creations version of the Korean kaiju Yongary, Monster From The Deep. The film was released in 1967 as a Godzilla ripoff, with several ideas copied from the Gamera series, such as his tusks, his ability to fire a stream of flames from his mouth, and even firing a laser beam from his horn, similar to the slicing one used by Gyaos. The film is pretty goofy, but Yongary, like most of those Asian monsters, was pretty cool (to me, at least), so I was psyched that someone finally made a figure of this lesser known kaiju. When Titanic Creations put it up for pre-order, they announced a series of tiers, where they would add accessories when a certain number of orders were met. Enough fans ordered him, so that Yongary ended up with a shit ton of stuff, making him absolutely worth the price. In addition to the kaiju, you get a flame breath effect, ...

S.H. Figuarts Ultimate Ageis/Ultraman Zero Armor option parts set

Earlier in the week I received my S.H. Figuarts Ultimate Ageis/Ultraman Zero Armor option parts set. I was busy with work and doing other reviews, but I finally got around to checking these out. They turned out to be pretty cool option parts. Ultimate Aegis is a set of armor created by Ultraman Noa . My initial thought was that they may be a bit of a hassle to attach to the Ultras. They ended up being fairly easily to swap out and put on them. The only issue I had was with the large piece (Final Ultimate Zero) that Ultraman Zero holds. I was having trouble getting his arm peg into the fist (it’s attached to the piece). Then I realized that I had on his forearm with his bracelet, so I swapped out the regular forearm without the bracelet and it went in easily. For the ultimate Zero Sword, each hand piece comes with its own fists, a red (for X) and blue (for Zero). The top of the fist has a peg that attaches to the piece, and then you ...
