The Devil’s Daughter (1973)
Nov 18, 2007Satanist Conspiracy
TV movie that copies Rosemary's Baby as closely as copyright will allow with Belinda J. Montgomery encountering Satanists and the realisation she is the devil's daughter
Robert Foxworth
Frankenstein (1973)
Dec 16, 2005Frankenstein Adaptation
An obscure tv movie version of Mary Shelley made by producer Dan Curtis. This suffers cheap production values but is the most faithful version of the book up to that point
The Questor Tapes (1974)
Feb 25, 2014Android's Quest
Another of the unsold Gene Roddenberry tv pilots, the story of an android searching for its purpose. This is excellent science-fiction, one of the most credible portraits of an android intelligence on screen up to this point, while Questor later became the model for Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation
Damien: Omen II (1978)
Jul 11, 2001Teenage Anti-Christ/The Omen Sequel
The first of the sequels to The Omen, this follows Damien through his teenage years as he comes into his powers. Mostly though, the film seems to exist to stage more bizarre novelty death scenes
Prophecy (1979)
Mar 4, 2010Mutant Bear Amok
The once celebrated John Frankenheimer flopped with this monster movie about a mutant bear with laughable effects and inflated pretensions to message making
Invisible Strangler (1984)
Sep 11, 2003Astral Killer
A painfully bad film about a jailed killer who uses astral projection powers to become invisible and leave his cell to take revenge on those who convicted him
The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines (2006)
May 23, 2023Adventure Film
The second of The Librarian tv movies featuring Noah Wyle as an Indiana Jones-modelled adventurer in search of mythical artifacts - here a map to King Solomon’s Mines
Transformers (2007)
Jul 3, 2007Live-Action Transformer Robots
Michael Bay takes on the 1980s toy phenomenon, turning it into a massive blockbuster filled with copious mass destruction and machines beating the metal crap out of each other
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Jun 30, 2009Live-Action Transformer Robots
The first of Michael Bay's Transformers sequels has even better effects and more copious mass destruction to the point it washes over you without any effect
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Jun 30, 2011Live-Action Transformer Robots
The third of Michael Bay's Transformers films. While the human scenes opt for a ghastly miscalculated sense of humour, the effects houses are at the peak of their game, even if Bay allows them to drag the mass destruction out to a numbing excess
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
Jun 28, 2014Live-Action Transformer Robots
Are there any new creative directions that Michael Bay feels he he has to explore for a fourth Transformers film? All the Transformers beating the crap out of each other and copious mass destruction has become hard to tell one of the films from each other
