B-Movie Gazette: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE A NEW HORROR ICON AND HER NAME IS "MEGAN" (2023) AND "MEGAN UNRATED" (2023)

B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - WITHOUT WARNING (1980)

Greetings All - It would be cool to do a post one time called the ten most essential B-flicks, sort of a B-Movie 101 thing. If that ever happened I would have to include this sci-fi horror classic from Graydon Clark (Black Shampoo, Satan's Cheerleaders.) This one's a don't pass go and don't collect $200 folks, just see it, Or watch it again. I'm not even going to begin to explain the plot except you have these flying disc things that attach themselves to people, in this case campers on an outing and kill and feed on them. Eventually these discs are tied to an alien, a hungry alien. A forerunner to 1987's Predator sort to speak and with a flat-out goofy cast. Jack Palance and Martin Landau, say what? And looking drugged out I might add but the real surprise here is veteran character actor Larry Storch, from the '60's, a guy who knew 150 dialects and here he is in this as a boy scout leader lol. Also known as It Came Without Warning, this gem is streaming free now only on Plex. 2.75 stars/2.75

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE A NEW HORROR ICON AND HER NAME IS "MEGAN" (2023) AND "MEGAN UNRATED" (2023)

Great news for horror movie fans - Megan is a instant classic. Fans are already clamoring for the sequel and even an old anti-sequel geezer like myself wants more of this crazy little robot.

With a little Sci-fi, comedy and suspence sprinkled throughout, the producers of Megan know exactly how to push the right buttons while keeping the movie firmly in the horror genre. The special effects are spot-on, perfect really.

There is very little difference between the unrated and PG13 versions except that the former has some marginal profanity and the kills are slightly more gory. I expected to be rating these separately but they're very much the same film - see the unrated unless you have a younger age group to cater to. Thumbs way up for Megan! 3.75 stars/5
