It's a pity the film didn't live up to what you hoped, or what that excellent poster promised.<br /><br />Funnily enough, the ones Wes mentioned above are ones I have seen plenty of times - Deadly Spawn is one of my favorites- and I think you will LOVE Night Beast, for me it's Dohler's best work.

I agree too that more talent was expended on the poster than the movie. Thanks for mentioning more of those early 80's creature features - I love Without Warning - just added the Blu-Ray to the video vault after springing for a gray market DVD-R last year - thinking it was never going to get a "real" release. I need to see Deadly Spawn again - that Blu-Ray is on my wish list but needs to go on sale. I've not seen Night Beast but I have a fondness for Don Dohler's other movies, so I'm sure I'd like this one too.

I love the tagline: <i>The five people believed to have drowned here never made it past the sand</i>... Craig you make an excellent discussion point about that peculiar climate of early 80's Horror where the weirdest stuff was emerging, <b><i>The Boogens</i></b> and <b><i>The Strangeness</i></b> being two fine examples... or three other spaced oddities, <b><i>Night Beast, Without Warning</i></b> and <b><i>Deadly Spawn</i></b>Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502948357255970132noreply@blogger.com
