Sometimes They Come Back (1991)
Definitely worth a watch.
One of them perfect late 80's/ early 90's horror films set in small town America, great story, great acting from the main cast, great pacing and tension, effortlessly cool, there aren't really many special effects to speak of, apart from when the bad guys show their demon faces, the bad guys are cool thou, the epitome of a 50's greaser, complete with flick knife and Johnny Cash hair, and their car is cool as anything, a hot rod with flames roaring out the back of it, the ending is a bit rushed and a bit schmaltzy but it made me cry (because I could identify with it) and is another great King adaption, which is saying a lot as most King adaptions are a bit hit and miss, and the endings always seem rushed, just like his books, definitely a must see if you like small town American horror type films.
Sometimes They Come Back... Again (1996)
Watch it for Hilary Swank bedroom scene that lasts about 5 seconds.
Having watched the excellent first film, (the first film will make you laugh and cry it is that good), and being a fan of Stephen King adaptions I was intrigued by the subsequent sequels, the trailer shows Hilary Swank looking goddamn beautiful, in a bedroom scene having sex with a demon type dude played by Alexis Arquette, this is the only part of the film that I found to be of any value.
When she looks at the camera, right there in that 1 second, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and she is quite cute throughout, she outshines and out acts everyone else in the film, so it is worth watching for her superior acting, though that is not saying much, cos all the other actors are so crap it is embarrassing, I won't add anything else because there is no depth.
And the bit at the end where the guy has the loose electric cable and the demons, having already been killed that way years before, step into the same pool of water and stand there in the middle of it, waiting for him to touch the cable with it is just so amateur and awful it is just an insult to a viewers intelligence.
I am off to find a girlfriend that looks like Hilary Swank in this film, wish me luck everyone.
