The back story is totally dumb, The main story is "ok". I guess if you are a MONSTER guy this is a one view cheapo deal. LOTS of flaws. The Monster CG is terrible ala 90s video games. I'd rather watch one of those 80's TV movies over this. Not a total waste of time but...

WL rates this a barely 4.0 due to the crappy monster graphics. One scene 600# lumbering monster the next leaping like Superman.  ::)

The Ape Man (1943) and The Devil Bat (1940). Fun with Bela.

"Murder By Decree" (1979)
-Christopher Plummer, James Mason

Plot:

Press Kit Synopsis:
Murder By Decree: Synopsis
It is England in the Autumn of 1888 and Queen Victoria still rules over the British Empire. Sherlock Holmes (Christopher Plummer) the legendary private detective and his loyal companion and chronicler, the earnest Dr. Watson (James Mason), are enjoying an opulent first night at the opera in London's fashionable West End.

Meanwhile, in the squalid jungle of the East End of London, a prostitute is being horribly murdered. The dreaded killer, commonly known as Jack the Ripper for the gruesome manner in which he mutilates the bodies of his victims, has struck again. The sickly miasma of fear is as palpable as the autumn fogs which envelop the slums. The forces of law and order seem powerless to stop the savage butchery.

Holmes is approached by shadowy figures to take on the case. Although Police Inspectors Foxborough (David Hemmings) and Lestrade ( Frank Finlay) more than welcome his assistance, Sir Charles Warren (Anthony Quayle), the Commissioner of Police from Scotland Yard, actively does not.

The master criminologist is guided in his pursuit of justice, through the seamy Victorian underworld, to the psychic Robert Lees (Donald Sutherland) who fearfully points him in another direction. Holmes and Watson, constantly in danger for their lives and liberty, become not only the grand masters but also the pawns in this lethal game of hide and seek.

They search out and are found by the hapless Mary Kelly (Susan Clark), a girl of the streets, whose only crime is the knowledge of a fatal secret, which she will protect at all costs. She in turn leads them to Annie Crook (Genevieve Bujold), a servant who made the mistake of marrying above her station, whom even the illustrious detective cannot protect from herself.

The hunters and the hunted stealthily move through the mist-shrouded maze of Whitechapel's cobblestone streets where every shadow instills fear. Watson is violently attacked by, and Holmes at last comes face to face with, the Ripper.

As he inexorably unravels the mystery, Holmes crosses swords with Lord Salisbury (John Gielgud), the Prime Minister of England, and finds himself threatened by the macabre power of a secret society and the all-pervasive, long reaching might of the Establishment. He is challenged by no ordinary murderer but one with influential and determined friends and what he has to stop – if he can – is Murder by Decree.

Phantom's Review: In my eyes, this is the best Sherlock Holmes movie ever made. Brilliant cast, fine acting and direction, wonderful sets and costumes and a fantastic story.

Elvira's Haunted Hills..........a very fun movie!! A very nice homage to the Corman Poe films of the 1960's as well.

'Elviras Haunted Hills' is an instant classic.

Curse of the Aztec Mummy (1957) and The Robot Vs. the Aztec Mummy (1958). Another cool double shot.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Night Of the Creeps - 1986
Fun movie. I liked the B/W early parts. Added something to the film. This is 80's total bloody fun cheesefest though there was some lagging halfway in. I'm borderline on buying this one. 7/10
