Frank Stallone, Reb Brown, And A Killer Bigfoot Yield A Very High Cheese Quotient
"Night Claws" is yet another in a long line of bigfoot movies that are laughable for all the wrong reasons. Viewed from the vantage point of a fan of campy horror, this film has its entertaining moments, though anyone who wants to see a genuinely good film should obviously steer clear if they've read the plot summary. The acting is deliciously poor, with Frank Stallone (as Mr. Testi, a double entendre name if ever there was one) as clearly the best actor present. Unfortunately despite his top billing, Frank doesn't appear until 75 minutes into the film. (The film is 86 minutes long.) Most of the rest of the screen time is chewed up by Reb Brown (who you may remember from the classic MST3K episode "Space Mutiny") as Sheriff Joe and the truly dreadful Leilani Sarelle as the manipulative Professor Sarah Evans. Her performance pained me, but in her defense her dialogue and character motivations didn't give her much to work with. Also of note is Ted Prior as the totally unhinged Charlie...
Relentless killer Bigfoot
Wonderful old school fear fest. Starts out as a typical bigfoot attack on the unsuspecting, but finishes with quite the unexpected twist. Strong cast with plenty of surprises. Especially loved "Cooter" the typical town drunk that should have been taken much more serious. You B cult fans have a real gem here. Don't miss it.
Furry & Scary Effort to Re-Ignite Our Love of Classic Scares !
Stars: Reb Brown, Sherrie Rose, Frank Stallone and Leilani Sarelle.
This David Prior - directed effort is really good monster flick,There was a prior thought to go straight to television or edited with an eye for commercial insertion ?
The old tv adage about `Showing The Bear Early...' or however it went,May apply here,The creative side OR producers want you to see WHAT FRIGHTENS you and then cut to results of mayhem.
Besides DAVID PRIOR making a director's comeback,He has REB BROWN acting like the kind of sherriff we fondly recall,SHERRY ROSE being the Lois Lane-ish pal and FRANK STALLONE as a classic heavy.
The monster is almost as brutal as a human monster,DAVID CAMPBELL,Who has alot of screen time and deserves it.
TED PRIOR is a consummate actor,Not seen much since late '90s and has a good guy bent, Except this go round.
LEILANI SARELLE has a story arch,That's right there is a story to this monster hunt from...
