TOURIST TRAP - A bunch of youths go for a drive in the country and come across a sinister waxworks museum run by friendly old Chuck Connors. What could go wrong? Chris Ward reviews the fondly remembered  and influential 70’s slasher re-released on Blu-Ray from 101 Films Black Label.

DON’T TURN OUT THE LIGHTS - Despite some entertaining horror in-jokes and an enthusiastic cast, this horror-comedy is a genre-muddled, missed opportunity that has ended up in the middle of the road and ignored all Dead End signs. Nina Romain would like the lights turned on now, please.

A classic 80s fantasy film that delivers thrilling action, memorable villains, and impressive practical effects, now enhanced in a stellar 4K re-release.

If for whatever reason this is your first-time watching Lewis Teague’s superior creature feature, you may think that whoever was in charge of the 4K remaster here has done too good a job. From the minute the world-weary Robert Forster shuffles onto screen investigating a spate of pet kidnappings, the signs of what appear to be hair plugs or a hair transplant are all too apparent no matter what size of screen you are watching on. However, the film, and Forster, tip their hand making this act of male vanity an essential part of his character. This smart handling of monster shenanigans and smart character work have ensured that ALLIGATOR has cemented its place in cult cinema and well worth revisiting in this excellently remastered package with a generous helping of revealing behind the scenes interviews and features.
