Review of Strange Behavior (1981) by Bill B — 17 Dec 2012
Strange Behavior is one of those oddities to come out of the late 70's and early 80's and never find a concrete audience. It's not surprising given the popularity of certain slashers at the time, but this film isn't altogether bad.
Don't get me wrong though. There's plenty of cheesy dialogue and bad story moments in there, but there's enough creativity and heart there that you can forgive it at times. It's no masterpiece, but there's a fun little 'possession of kids to take over the world' plot going on, and there's some nice gory and wince-inducing moments that should bring a smile to your face.
It also has Michael Murphy and Louise Fletcher in the lead, as well as being directed by Michael Laughlin, who directed Strange Invaders, so it's not altogether bad. There's also the score by Tangerine Dream and was shot in Australia, so it's definitely an interesting film.
Not mind-blowing or anything, but it will keep your interest throughout.
