The Lair of the Boyg. Help make this site more interesting. Please comment with your thoughts. The Antiquated Terror of 976-EVIL (1988). A lot of movies simply do not profit from the passage of time. Quite the opposite, their relevance seems to evaporate as they're left in the wake of the "whirlwind of progress." These are movies that have capitalized on fleeting fads and unfulfilled promises. One might expect 976-EVIL. Here are some links to genuine ads for 1-900 numbers, for your historical enjoyment.

The Lair of the Boyg: The Hearse (1980) - 2.5/4

The Lair of the Boyg. Help make this site more interesting. Please comment with your thoughts. The Hearse (1980) - 2.5/4. Inheriting something around Joseph Cotten is always a bad thing. Whether it’s the castle in Baron Blood or the Georgian country home in The Hearse. Things won’t go well. Trish van Devere, sexy in an untouchable schoolteacher kinda way, plays Jane Hardy, a lady who inherits a whole lot more than she wanted in the neglected The Hearse. And Melmoth the Wanderer.

This is due both to a particularly menacing performance from the great Lon Chaney and a good script. The film is stylishly shot, obviously taking some hints from German expressionism. The...

Movies that much. Yet I find myself watching every time a new one comes out. I don’t know why I haven’t given up on the series yet. Probably for the few moments in each movie that’s actually quite good. At any rate, I’m glad I kept watching. Paranormal Activity 5. There are some issues with the Paranormal Activity. Movie...
