Review of Neon Maniacs (1986) by R.john X — 19 Jul 2011
Okay. Let me get a couple things straight. This movie is going to put a bunch of monsters who steam and bubble and melt when hit with water, even the piss squirts of 1980s five and dime squirt guns, in the middle of San Francisco? Where you can get pretty soaked just from the fast moving fog that comes in every other day? Really?
Secondly. Natalie has a pool in her backyard. And spends a considerable amount of part of the movie sun bathing or floating in her pool. No one in San Francisco has a backyard pool Why? Because of the fog and cold temperatures. In fact, people walk around in the summer with snow parkas on. Why? They are cold.
The Manaics, themselves, have a couple creepy scenes. Especially while lurching around the battle of the bands school hallway scenes. But otherwise, are simply idiots. I guess it was an attempt to start a franchise? Either way, they need some back story, then, or at least an explanation. Not just Halloween costumes gone gooey. I am not even sure why they are Neon. Though living inside the Golden Gate bridge is sort of clever.
