He feels nothing.
Not pity.
Not regret.
Not fear.
He is a force that cannot be stopped.
With a single purpose: to kill.
His dead eyes are omens of death.
And he will not rest until his mission is fulfilled.

That grim tone - so raw, so serious - could only have been born in the early-to-mid 80s. The movie's unwavering gravity and relentless momentum feel almost mythical. Sadly, for me, "The Terminator" begins to falter after the police station sequence, reaching a low point with what might be the most unconvincing love scene I've ever witnessed. Still, the final confrontation hits hard again.

"10 to Midnight" is competently made and soaked in nasty violence. The kills prey on the anxieties of unaccompanied women and peak in a bloody attack by the killer on a dorm full of half-naked girls. It's a revenge flick with zero surprises, but enough sleaze and solid entertainment to keep it watchable.

"Alice" is a surreal, incredibly detailed, and tenderly crafted blend of live-action and stop-motion. I absolutely love the grotesque design choices.. everything seems made from real animal parts, which makes it both creepy and adorable. But despite that, I couldn’t really get into the movie. I wanted to like it more, but in the end, it just felt kind of boring.

Perhaps the only Lynch movie that offers an emotional connection to its characters, allowing you to feel both sympathy and antipathy for the protagonists. And yet, despite the absence of Lynch's signature surrealist elements and subtle shock effects, "The Elephant Man" remains arguably bleaker and more tragic than the rest of his filmography.

An incredibly intense, raw and gripping movie that portrays the brutal reality of war without moralizing.

An '80s vampire comedy featuring Jim Carrey in one of his early roles. The story is thin, but it's the many small, casually delivered gags that elevate the whole thing to a surprisingly decent level. The soundtrack often plays through almost entire scenes, and many of the jokes are drawn out just enough to land without becoming tiresome. The narrative is frequently disrupted by deliberate absurdities, which help keep the tone light. In the end, they manage to get quite a bit out of what is, at its core, a flimsy plot.

If "The Craft" (1996) had a G-rated, awkward cousin, it would be "Teen Witch".

Driven by raw energy and a keen social eye, Spike Lee paints a vivid mural of life in a Brooklyn neighborhood, home to Black, Italian-American, and Korean people. Rather than following a linear plot, the movie flows through moments - glimpses of tension, warmth, conflict, and culture - gradually coalescing into a powerful climax.

"Do the Right Thing" unfolds like a visual mixtape, where the beat of the streets and the rhythm of the people shape the movie's dynamic pulse. It stands as a fierce and eloquent plea for unity across cultural lines and a stark confrontation of prejudice.

Saturated colors, general vibrancy, close-ups, absurd situations, and a tendency toward exaggeration. Overall, this melodrama is decidedly life-affirming and free from any negativity, despite dealing with negative emotions. 
The women at the center of this story are truly on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of manipulative and dismissive men who, at their core, hate women. What unfolds is an amusing narrative, complete with many bizarre and creative twists and turns.

What if "Scary Movie" had come out two decades earlier? That's the premise of "Student Bodies." While it has its weaknesses, horror fans might still find it interesting as a parody of the slasher genre. The movie is packed with references to famous horror movies, though the humor oscillates between clever and dumb.
