Review of Frightmare (1983) by Justin A — 16 Oct 2015
Another movie I feel I don't have much to say about. It's a strange plot. Drama students steal the corpse of a famous horror actor because... reasons? Haven't they seen Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things? Of course, the actor comes back and starts murdering all of them one by one.
Jeffrey Combs is in it (very young) and he gets the best death. It was very fitting too, considering his history as Herbert West. The ending cemetery chase during the day is fun. I really have no idea why, I just like chases that take place in cemeteries, especially sunny Californian cemeteries.
The most memorable part of the movie is the horror actor who has risen from the grave (again because... reasons?). His acting is so cheesy, but it's mostly enjoyable. He even does a racist asian thing with his face.
You know what I'm talking about, the thing little kids do when asked to make the face of a Chinese person where they pull back their eyelids. Yeah, I'm rambling now. Fun, but very forgettable movie.
