Hi Everyone, enjoy this year's picks! TR
Damned River stars Stephen Shellen as the river guide from hell. It's filmed entirely on location on the Zambezi River in Africa. Bradford Bancroft (the space cadet in Bachelor Party) and some other familiar '80's faces make up the group. Shellen's way over the top performance as the self-proclaimed "River Rat" is one for the B-movie record books and perfectly drives the movie. The more outrageous he gets with his behavior, the more we feel for the poor suckers in the boat. A lot of good photography and stunt work, this is a good one folks and can be streamed for free on Roku Channel. 2.75/2.75 Trailer
In Hunter's Blood we have the ultimate late '80's hicksploitation thriller with a group of hunters faced up against a group of backwood freaks. Lots and lots of familiar faces in this one - on the good guys side, we have the one-and-only Clu Gallager who is awesome in this, Joey Travolta is with them, but even better is the performance by good ole Ken Swafford as the hunting group's leader.
On the bad guys side, we have the motley crue pictured below which includes the shady mechanic from National Lampoon's Vacation among others. It's a familiar tale of who's going to hunt who but it's done quite well. The opening sequence where the hunters roll into town and stop for a beer is B-movie bliss. You can find this one at this official YT link. Enjoy. 2.75/2.75 Trailer
