There are queer films that reify queer identity, films that celebrate it, films that honor it, films that depict it, and films that examine it. There are films that denigrate it, exploit it, deride it, misrepresent it, or use it simply as a superficial sheen over straight…
Sally Jane BlackAug 12, 2021This movie really started off hot w the unexpected car explosion, and then just got wilder lol. Susan Tyrell gonna give me nightmares tonight.

"Meatloaf! Beatloaf!" It's very misleading title time (sounds like Freddy Krueger's job history!) well it's not about that, but instead it's about Billy who loses his parents after a car crash when he's young and is brought up by his Aunt Cheryl until he gets to his…
VIVE_le_FILTHApr 6, 2017Susan Tyrell gives the performance of a lifetime and Bo Svenson as a garbage person really makes me feel uncomfortable—killer little under the radar movie… we as a species were never ready for Susan Tyrell.
Ian WestMay 3, 202690 Boiling over with oppressive hothouse atmosphere, shades of incestuous relationships, homophobia, and anti-cop sentiment, not to mention the maniacal northern star of Susan Tyrrell's purrfect performance. High camp, high tragedy - a nexus point between the Sitcom and…

Come for Susan Tyrell, stay for... the surprisingly strong-for-1981 anti-homophobia sentiment?

Slig001Jun 14, 2024the Tough Guys Don't Dance of horny coming-of-age murder mysteries, gleefully histrionic, legitimately unnerving and endlessly quotable -- every time I have seen this with a crowd, it has destroyed the room but the proof of tried and true camp is how well it plays when…

carrie's mom if she was an evil homophobic pedophile while it wasn’t what i was expecting, it was a solid wacky slasher with a female villain that doesn’t hide from the audience, the unhinged performance was very well done and is balanced out by the sweetness of billy
GENAI lovedButcher, Baker, Nightmare MakerOne of my favorite classic horror movies! The acting was top notch (and I mean regular good acting, not 80’s good acting), the story and characters are like… WAY more progressive than what you’d expect from an 80’s horror, and it was really fun in general.
mason williams likedButcher, Baker, Nightmare MakerI saw this movie as a child. It was called Night Warning when I saw in on I believe the USA channel. It terrified me and I would never go near a floor register again.

This takes Psycho’s “A Boys best friend is his mother” to a whole new level. I recommend this movie.
