Review of Nightbeast

Nightbeast (1982)
9/10
Even writing a review for this film is BORING!
15 July 2001
I find most Troma distributed really boring, but this one takes boredom one step ahead of itself and makes it into an art! There's no way to describe it's dullness, it has too be seen to be believed! I got cheated by the excellent trailer for this low budget movie, and bought it expensive. It actually took me three times before I managed to watch the whole film from start. It got some "stunning" laser effect, a nice moustache and a funny sex scene ("mind if I take my towel off?"), but the rest is complete and utter boredom. the story is about a stranded, evil alien in a 50 cent predator costume. It likes to kill people. I wouldn't ruin the end of a GOOD movie: the monster dies. This piece of s**t doesn't even work as camp. It's just plain boring from the first frame to the last. A low budget doesn't justify a bad movie, and contrary to public belief most of the really interesting features are low budget productions. For example, this film must have had a much higher budget than say, Pink Flamingos or the Evil Dead. Anyway, I gave this 9/10 just because I have trouble sleeping, and this piece of schlock always sends me right off to dreamland. Recommended for insomniacs.
