Plot: A writer is plagued by a series of unsettling encounters that unseat his personal life and eventually change his perception of the universe. Based on the purportedly true close encounter events experienced by Whitley Strieber (and adapted by him), this movie quickly falls prey to poor character work, an absurd amount of disposable sequences, uneven acting that fails to communicate the character's emotions competently, lackluster editing, and a languid pace. NEVERTHELESS, it is worth at least a cursory glance for the confoundingly bizarre performance from Christopher Walken and the encounter sequences which vacillate from inane madness to slightly unsettling with their nightmare logic. Communion is ultimately a film I can only describe as godawfully strange.

Plot: An ancient receptacle protected by a sect of priests is investigated by a group of physics students who soon succumb to its influence. An influence that may be the very source of belief in the Devil. The lines between tradition and science blur in this thickly atmospheric ode to Nigel Kneale's work. Carpenter, evokes a sense of pervasive dread and conjures up some exceptionally memorable horror set pieces that transcend the tight budget. Complete with an ominous score and one helluva chilling ending, Prince of Darkness will make your skin crawl.

Plot: A new tenant finds himself succumbing to the whims of "the slime" after he finds himself curiously addicted to an elixir brewed by a former resident. Slime City is a late 80's entry into the body horror sub-genre that will certainly be a most pleasant surprise for fans of trash cinema and low-budget melt flicks. Anybody else need not apply, believe me. Dripping with bad acting, poorly executed humor, some ambitious effects, and a score only the 80's could love, the flick still maintains a cheesy homespun charm for fans of such things. Street Trash (1987) this is not but its slower and rough around the edges cheapness kind of contributes to its particular vibe.
