Things are bad on Friday the 13th.......2007-04-15

Things get really bad on Saturday the 14th

Everyone seams to be interested in an old house that recently came on the market. What is it that they are interested in? Turns out there is a book of evil. Who ever controls the book controls the world. Mean while as the different parties are looking for the book. Little Billy has inadvertently open the book to release many evil beings on the world (mostly they hang around the house.)

Will the book of evil fall into the wrong hands?
Will obnoxious Aunt Lucille meet a fur coat?
Why must Van Helsing (Severn Darden) move in for the bats to move out?
The big question is who did the dishes?

The film has just about every monster movie cliché. Two seen that will have you in stitches are when the kit tries to tell his father that there is a monster in his room and the father of course denies it. The monster is right behind the father. The second scene is the shark fin in the bath tub shacking with frustration as the girl inadvertent disengages her foot from the tub.

The film is packed with many well-known actors. O.K. maybe not by name but surly by sight. Original Music by Parmer Fuller added to the spooky feel.

If you liked SCARY MOVIE ...........2006-02-04

I saw this movie 20 years ago and thought it was hilarious. It drags in parts and gets a little wierd at the end but if you've watched the older horror classics, e.g. Halloween, Carrie, you'll appreciate the jokes and humor. This movie was the prequel to movies like Scream and Scary movie.

over the top cheesy,bizarre.......2005-08-28

this one is actually a guilty pleasure of mine and certainly not for everyone. you really have to be into 80s horror comedy cheese to even slightly appreciate what this film offers. its kinda a horror spoof intended to scare children a bit while being a bizarre comedy for adults. you realize right from the beginning that this movie is not intended to rival The exorcist or win academy awards. just a fun movie for fans of 80s cheese. I find the fathers sarcastic wit and negligence hysterical. The scene at the end when van helsig goes against the vampires for the bookof evil is classic horror comedy. totally over the top, cheesy , and nonsensical all the through. The daughters bath scene is mandatory and she looks quite nice semi nude as well. Nice shots of her legs and cute feet hanging out of bath tub. good movie for hardcore cheese lovers only.

Cute!.......2005-08-03

Okay Saturday the 14th is not the funniest comedy movie ever made but I still liked it. It's just a cute enjoyable movie with some cute humor that satires horror movies and it has a good cast, Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss play a husband and wife and are married in real life and they were good in the movie as was Kari Michaelsen who is probaly best known as playing Katie, the eldest daughter in the sitcom Give Me A Break and underrated character actor Jeffrey Tambor was good too. Go buy or rent this movie on DVD or video!

Saturday the 14th (Howard R. Cohen, 1981)

Veteran Hollywood screenwriter Howard Cohen (Deathstalker, Stryker, Vampire Nurses, and-- I'm not kidding-- Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealers) tookhis first whack at directing with this insanely silly send-up of seventies horror flicks. How a guy who writes B-grade fantasy and softcore flicks managed to assemble the cast he got for this film is beyond me, but to his credit, the cast did manage to pull off something that didn't completely wreck their careers.

Waldemar (veteran character actor Jeffrey Tambor, in his second big-screen role) and Yolanda (the late Nancy Andrews, in her last film role) are very interested in buying a dilapidated old house. Problem is, its owner has just died and left it, in his will, to an all-American family: father John (Richard Benjamin, recently seen in the TNT production of The Goodbye Girl), mother Mary (seventies film and TV staple Paula Prentiss), nubile daughter Debbie (Kari Michaelsen of Gimme a Break!), and credulous kid brother Billy (Kevin Brando, for a while the voice of Charlie Brown). Billy finds the book Waldemar and Yolanda are after, opens and reads it, and lets out all manner of evil creatures, making no one happy. John hires an exterminator to get rid of some pests, and finds himself stuck with Van Helsing (the late, great Severn Darden), an exterminator who is more than he appears to be...

A Rare and Bizarre Film To Say The Least.......2007-04-28

Now, I've seen my share of oddball titles through the years, but this sucker really takes the cake. Not many films can make your jaw hit the floor in shock and amazement-especially one that's pretty much appropriate for any age-but this film might just do that on the strength of how insanely goofy it is. Plot is quite simple-Family moves into haunted house(the reason it's haunted is explained by some kinda crack in the earth that the house rests on, but that whole angle is never elaborated on or explained too well) and the son has to stop the evil ghosties from destroying his family, and the whole world. He has until Saturday the 14th to stop em. Naturally it's a comedy and bears no relation to the film Saturday the 14th. Same director though. It's rather lighthearted for a horror spoof, yet manages to be more out to lunch than alot of movies. It's nearly impossible to describe because I've never seen a film quite like it. Try to imagine if you can, if Lloyd Kauffman, the Zucker Bros, David Lynch and Ed Wood collaborated on a film, and you might get an idea of how this thing plays out. It's extremely cheap, the acting is hilariously awful, enormous gaps in logic, music numbers pop up, stock footage abound, and every character is insane. The family is so loony that when the ghosts and monsters arrive, they blend so seamlessly with the insanity that the family(and the viewer) barely notice any difference. I'd seen this movie numerous times back in the good ol' days of HBO, and I must say that for as downright awful as this movie is, I have always found it fascinating, entertaining and actually quite funny. It's worth checking out. You might hate it, but you can't deny it's unique.

Saturday the 14th Strikes Back.......2001-10-17

Unfortunately, this movie was not as good as it's predecessor. Then again how many sequels really are? The movie was kind of bland with a boring story line. It produced a few decent laughs, but not really much more. A few good actors kind of kept this movie going, but there was only so much they could do to try to save this film. Personnaly, I would rate a low-budget movie much higher than this film.

good movie.......2001-04-03

this is a really good and funny movie. i recommend that you if not buy it at least watch it.
