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 Godzilla Minus One

Right before the opening of the new Toho film Godzilla Minus One in the US, I received the figure from Bandai Tamashii Nations from that film. It was officially released last weekend, and about a day before that, some photos were popping up online of the final product, appearing with a very dark and bad paint job. Drama rose up in one of the kaiju figure groups I'm a part of, with one idiot in particular proclaiming that the S.H. MonsterArts line was done, despite having not gotten the actual figure in hand before he could judge for himself. After multiple posts trashing the figure and stating that Bandai was dead, he received the figure and then gave it a good rating (8 out of 10), making himself look like a damn fool in the process. I admit that those initial photos had me worried, but I decided to wait until I saw some YouTube reviews to see how it actually turned out to make my judgement (I pre-ordered it from a site where you don't pay for it until it's actually in sto

S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 1991 Shinjuku Decisive Battle version

The latest Godzilla figure I pre-ordered from the S.H. MonsterArts line has arrived. It is the 1991 Shinjuku Decisive Battle version, to go along with the Mecha King Ghidorah release from earlier this year. While the suit is almost the same as the one used in 1989's Godzilla vs. Biollante, they made some slight adjustments. Compared to the BioGoji figure, this one is much thicker, therefore, he does look different from that other release. His sculpt is the classic 90's era Heisei look, with small head, thick thighs, large dorsal spines and a long tail. Like all the other Godzilla suits of that decade, he has a cat-like face, both cute and menacing. While the King of the Monsters has had multiple looks throughout his 50+ years, it's the Heisei era that seems the most iconic. Artwork, toys, comics, etc, have all utilized this particular design. Similar to the 89 suit, this 91 figure has a small set of dorsal spines, followed by a much larger one, and then gradually getting sm

NECA Godzilla 1962

Today I found the NECA Godzilla 62 at my local shop called Zonkey Toys. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this as I was curious how good NECA’s King Goji would turn out.   The first thing to note is that NECA are now allowed to put out more colorful boxes for their Godzilla figures. The box art is really nice, recreating the King Kong vs. Godzilla poster, with an open window that displays the kaiju, as well as an insert inside that can be removed that has the backdrop of Mount Fuji.   The figure is also slightly bigger than the other NECA Godzillas, and also bigger than the SHMA King Goji. As for articulation, it’s standard NECA joints. The one immediate thing to note is that the tail is in several sections, so it has more articulation, unlike the usual NECA tails that sport a bendy wire. The tail is also longer and thicker than other NECA G’s. There does seem to be an issue with some joints being more stiff than others, so you may want to be careful when p
