First Lines: A.S. King - The Dust of 100 Dogs

Imagine my surprise when, after three centuries of fighting with siblings over a spare furry teat and licking my water from a bowl, I was given a huge human nipple, all to myself, filled with warm mother's milk.

Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016)

In 1967 Los Angeles, a widowed mother and her daughters add a new stunt to bolster their seance scam business by inviting an evil presence into their home, not realizing how dangerous it is.

Average supernatural horror dram operates all the usual cliches on its way along a well trodden path; that said, slightly better, i.d. more coherent, than its predecessor.

Tomb Raider (2018)

Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, must push herself beyond her limits when she discovers the island where her father disappeared.

Although the plot is not very inspired and barely credible, the movie itself is straight-forward and unpretentious, full of well-choreographed action sequences, and Alicia Vikander holds all our attention as a more down-to-earth, vulnerable, but always persevering heroine.

On rewatching:  Yeah, it's still good, but not very original entertainment.

The Hideous Sun Demon (1958)

 

After exposure to radiation, an atomic research scientist finds himself changing into a murderous, lizard-like creature every time he is exposed to sunlight.

Silly low-budget sci-fi horror flick is good for some unintentional laughs, especially for the ridiculous monster costume.

Halliwell (no star): "Simple-minded science fiction featuring the producer-director-star in an ill-fitting monster costume."

Maltin*1/2: "Hideously low-budget production..."
