Cruise Into Terror (1978 TV Movie)

1h 40m

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077382/

Anniversary: 45-years

Genre: Thriller/ Horror

Director: Bruce Kessler

Writer: Michael Braverman

Stars: Dirk Benedict, Christopher George, Lynda Day George, Jo Ann Harris, Frank Converse, John Forsythe, Ray Milland

Co: American Broadcasting Company (ABC)/ prod: Aaron Spelling Productions

Summary: An Egyptian sarcophagus that is cargo on a pleasure cruise ship has a secret – it contains the son of Satan, and its effects start to make the ship’s passengers behave strangely.

Out of: 5.0/10

Release Date: 2/3/78 FRIDAY

My Opinion: Predating the spate of early 80’s knife-kill flicks meant that ‘Horror’ as a genre still meant supernatural thriller when this picture was made, and it relies heavily on a taut atmosphere of suspicion and fear among the passengers for its shocks. There are few of the Hallowe’en style jolts that we associate with contemporary horror, in fact very little happens

Videodrome (1983)

R – 1h 27m

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086541/

Anniversary: 40-years

Genre: Horror/ Sci-fi/ Thriller

Director: David Cronenberg

Writer: David Cronenberg

Stars: James Woods, Leslie Carlson, Debbie Harry, Sonja Smits, Peter Dvorsky

Co: Universal Pictures

Summary: A programmer at a TV station that specializes in adult entertainment searches for the producers of a dangerous and bizarre broadcast.

Out of: 7.2/10

Release Date: 2/4/83

Budget: $5,952,000 … Gross: $2,120,439

Taglines:

  • From David Cronenberg, Creator of ‘Scanners’.
  • First it controlled her mind, then it destroyed her body… Long live the new flesh!
  • First it controls your mind…then it destroys your body
  • A shocking new vision.
  • A vision of enormous physical impact!
  • A terrifying new weapon.

Trivia:

  • Three different endings were filmed. The ending used in the film was James Woods’s idea.
  • Rick Baker and his small army of EFX Inc. artists (who had an average age of 23). Ultimately the effect became a collaboration between all three special effects units: makeup, physical, and video. As Baker tells it, the assumption was that a special effects makeup artist could do anything the script called for.
