Hush Little Baby (1994)
Better with out the soundtrack...!
After buying this for £1 at a boot-sale, I think I really picked up a bargain! My copy has the title, "The Stepmother" which explains why I couldn't find it straight away on here without typing in Diane Ladd. Diane Ladd was fantastic as a psycho. She reminded me of a much older Yancy Butler from 'The Ex'.
The film however, is a little too fast. It fells like the director wanted to go home after the first day of shooting and tried to get everything out of the way as quickly as possible! It's just your average psycho girl killer flick minus Alicia Silverstone, Glenn Close, Yancy Butler, Rebecca Demoray, or ever Rose McGowan from Dearly Devoted! The only real problem with this film is the soundtrack! Maybe if someone like Greame Revell or Trevor Jones had done the score for this, may it have been much more tense and frightening instead of thinking that this is a love story that will have a happy ending with roses and vanilla candles in the air! The cast was wonderful apart from the odd little flaw from each of them here and there! For example *SPOILERS* When Dianne Ladd is shaving her legs with her daughters husbands razor and she acts like she has just watched a Traci Lords video seconds before. The son in the family is brilliant, "You Bitch!" Overall this film is quite fantastic, even for a TV Movie. Despite the poor attempt of a cheesy score that actually over-sounds the dialogue most of the time. Watch with 'THE CRUSH' soundtrack playing in the background and you'll love it!
Girlfriend from Hell (1989)
The Devil made her do it... ...not that she minded!
Well... Girlfriend from hell is about a shy single soul called Maggie who just so happens to be set up by her friends for a birthday party. When the Devil is being chased by 'Chaser' it enters the body of little shy Maggie. Not so shy anyone, Maggie goes on the town with her friends to raise some hell and boy does she!!!
Some people may be off put by the first scene which happens to be worse the 'The Blob's' first scene.
Every single person in the film is wonderful and I'm sure that you will laugh out aloud at this one, even if you don't want to.
Nuns with guns... Killer lobsters... steering wheel jams... blow jobs from hell... five wrapped sweaters... a cake... And for god sake... When invited to a birthday party of Rocko's, DO NOT burst a balloon.
The woman playing Rocko's girlfriend is the highlight of this film. She makes me smile and laugh just from looking at her doing nothing! For example, when Rocko burst a balloon....
"WHAT did you do that for...?" "It was a stupid balloon!" "It wasn't just a stupid balloon, it was one of your birthday balloons I spent a very long time blowing up..!" (KICKS HIM IN THE FACE)
FANTASTIC, HILARIOUS COMEDY THAT IS VERY WELL DONE... LOOK OUT FOR THE SCENE WITH THE VASE!
