Watched Humanoids from the Deep last night. Every bit as deliriously awful as it was back in the 80s. Of course, it has one of the obvious markers of le bad cinema -- it stars Doug McClure!! To really get into movies like Humanoids... you've gotta be able to just switch off parts of your brain. The parts that deal with critical thinking, logical consistency, the finer things in life, etc. You wouldn't think that a movie that kills off a child and several dogs in the first 10 minutes could sink much lower, but it actually manages to find ways to be even more depraved. Still there's something stupidly admirable about its ability to cram nearly every horror cliché into one movie. Or maybe it's just that the movie's engrained in my head from all those times listening to the Witch Trials' song "Humanoids from the Deep" (which is basically Jello Biafra narrating the plot from memory over some nasty synth lines)
