Again, kinda covered my reaction to this in the Dolls review, though that was admittedly before this one’s halfway mark, at which stage I have to admit, it gets quite a bit better. I wouldn’t rule out returning to this one purely for Ken Foree’s wild performance – the sight of him bursting into the basement in red Y-fronts shouting “you been messin’ with that damn machine again?”, then later running in simply wailing is certainly a highlight, and the movie doesn’t dip much after that point (his red football shirt later got almost as big a laugh out of me). It’s very much Re-Animator all over again but everything’s just a little better … the music and the visuals most of all. Fun as it was though, it’s got nothing on Dolls ... and more than anything, it felt to me like a cheap and silly Altered States.
