This was a fever dream. Insane 80's stuff. The production design was incredible. The story was all over the place, but it was kind of okay because of how consistently weird everything was. You could also really feel the movie struggling to stop itself from transforming into werewolf smut at every turn.

Not one redeeming frame. It felt like it was made for an audience who could only see it if they piled up on top of eachother inside of a trench coat.

This may be recency bias but I think that Jangers is the best movie dog name of all time.

I'm not sure how I missed this one when I was a kid. My friends and I rewound the scene with the dog pissing fire in Nightmare on Elmstreet 4 like 50 times and we would have worn out this VHS tape, too. Really great practical effects, unique kills, and it's oddly well written to boot — they're setting up and paying off jokes in a way you don't usually see in horror.

I hate the parts with Fred Savage and love the parts with Mandy Patinkin and Andre the Giant. I've never been a big fan of this movie because I was a Neverending Story kid. For some reason I always pit them against one another like there is a big 80's kid movie war going on in my head. It grows on me a little more with every rewatch, though.

This is an incredible documentary that plows right through the entirety of its rough-around-the-edges indie jank to deliver a very inspiring message about art and being an artist. Highly recommend going in blind.
