Chimera (1991)
Screw with nature, but what comes around...
This is one of those films that will have you thinking. This isn't so much a horror film, more of a 'messing with nature' story. Throughout the film I couldn't help but feel sorry for Chad, the creature who is half man, half ape.
What some people don't understand about this film is that it is not some cheap, English horror, but about the type of stuff that goes on without public knowledge. It tries to say that if you screw with nature, it will screw you in return. Chad is badly treated by the scientists who created him, so it isn't a wonder that he takes out some revenge on them.
!!SPOILER!! The very end of the film points out a stupidity factor in science. When Chad is destroyed, you see the remaining scientists back in the lab, along with six, newly created chimeras that get to grow up in the same environment that Chad did. How clever.
Friday the 13th: The Series (1987)
A decent series that didn't out-stay its welcome.
I'm amazed at how original and decent this program was. The pilot, 'The Inheritance', is the only thing I've seen thats scared me, mainly because it featured the only 'killer doll' worth being scared of. Although few of the episodes were as good as the pilot, the series in its entirety was as good as any other horror series in the late 80's. The acting and the directing in its three year run was actually pretty good. It's just about the only horror series that ended when it should have done.
