Island of Terror (1967) 🥼

Director: Terence Fisher (Planet Film Productions) Genres: Scifi Horror, Creature feature (Science) 🔬 Notes: Laboratory, lab experiment, Cool creature fx, radiation, well paced, medical science, Peter Cushing, "No Bones?"

Review: This is a great Scifi Horror film! If you like Dr. Who and practical creature fx with lots of campy action, good atmosphere and great paced story then this is for you! I loved watching the weird little creatures slide around and whip their tentacles at our heroes. My favorite part being near the beginning when scientists went around saying "No Bones?" over and over and over, made me laugh. I had more fun than I thought going into this which was a nice surprise as I normally don't go for many old Scifi films. Overall I give Island of Terror(1967): Worth the Watch! 🧪

WHEN COMIC BOOK MOVIES GO DARK IN THE SCI-FI/BODY HORROR VEIN -- IT'S A.I. BUTCHERING HUMANKIND IN 1999.

NOTE: My best friend included this movie in a stack of DVD's he lent me earlier this week, and I thought it was a really brutal/gruesome take on the sci-fi/horror/action movie genre. The fact that it's based on a Dark Horse Comics property only enhances its appeal, personally.

FILM: "Virus" (1999)

DIRECTOR: John Bruno

SCREENPLAY: Dennis Feldman & Chuck Pfarrer (adapted from Pfarrer's Dark Horse comic book limited series)

CINEMATOGRAPHY: David Eggby

PRODUCER: Gale Ann Hurd

DISTRIBUTOR: Universal Pictures

PLOT SYNOPSIS: "A powerful electrical-based life form takes control of a Russian research vessel and kills the crew.

 Finding itself trapped at sea with no escape available for it to spread through worldwide electrical systems. The creature desperately begins seeking escape.

An American tugboat boards the abandoned Russian research vessel hoping to plunder it and make a fortune.

The life form quickly seeks to eliminate the intruders whom it has come to see as a virus and utilise them at the same time to allow it to reach the mainland."

Did you know there was a show in the 1980s called Werewolf? It's basically like the show, The Incredible Hulk, but the guy is werewolf instead. You can watch like six hours of it on youtube.

I never post my sculptures. Because I almost never sculpt. But here’s a funny dragon WIP

[motleycrowmasks]

A commissioned Aarakocra, based on a battle scarred harpy eagle! Resin base with moving jaw, and a combination of cut fur and feathers. She features silver-flecked eyes, a hand-painted beak, and a moving feather crest that raises when the wearer's mouth is fully opened. All parts by me except for the hinges and the modified base by Crystumes.
