Rumpelstiltskin

RumpelstiltskinDirector: Mark Jones
Writer: Joe Ruby & Mark Jones
Release Year: 1996

Well what do we have here? Here’s proof that some film-makers were still freezing and (to a lesser extent) shocking during the nineties. Not exactly the most memorable of all horror decades, but a modest little B-movie playing it tongue-in-cheek like RUMPELSTILTSKIN, is bound to at least put a stupid grin on any horror-fan’s face.

Release year: 1987

Oh, how I love the 80’s… Well, at least when it comes to cheesy horror movies. And SPOOKIES, although mildly atmospheric and effectively creepy at some moments, is a prime example of how crazy an 80’s horror movie could get.

The Pit And The Pendulum

The Pit And The PendulumDirector: Roger Corman
Writer: Richard Matheson based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe
Release Year: 1961

Roger Corman has always been a versatile film-maker and a very productive one at it too. He can also be considered a pioneer of genre movies for more than one reason, and one could be that he was already shocking audiences at the end of a movie since the early sixties.

The Quiet Earth (Shock Ending)   quiet earth 85x120 shock endingsDirector: Geoff Murphy
Writer: Bill Baer (…)
Release year: 1985

Every now and then New Zealand manages to surprise the rest of the world with excellent genre movies. Geoff Murphy’s THE QUIET EARTH is definitely one for the books. Despite scoring on so many various levels (from script, dialogues & character drawings to the actual directing & acting), it is undoubtedly the memorable ending that is etched in the memories of all who ever saw it.
