![]() #Pandemonium movie 1982 review tv#Īnd finally, there’s streetwise Sandy (the lovely 70s TV personality Debralee Scott), who plays a mean game of strip poker. Nostalgia alert! Can this reviewer be trusted? Not likely. But when was that ever a problem? I saw Pandemonium at a very impressionable age, so young in fact that I wasn’t sure if this movie was supposed to be scary or not (it’s not!). So, big shocker, I love the heck out of this damn thing. Even with the jokes that miss their target by several feet or miles, I still laugh a lot during this movie. There’s just something about it that still warms my heart to this day. Surprisingly literally no one, certain parts of Pandemonium have aged terribly. #Pandemonium movie 1982 review full#Ī scene with an airplane full of Japanese tourists would never get made today and for good reason. As with all horror comedies, results may vary.Īnd just lifting dialog from a horror movie, in this instance, Carrie (1976), instead of actually parodying it, is never funny. As I’ve made abundantly clear, Pandemonium still works for me, though it pairs better with something like National Lampoon’s Class Reunion (1982) than it does with Student Bodies (1981). Vinegar Syndrome really knows how to make me stand up and cheer. Pandemonium looks and sounds pretty damn good on Blu. The editor’s reliance on zooming in wildly in post-production for the occasional gag means that there’s some irreparable softness in a bunch of shots but it doesn’t detract from how good this film looks overall. In terms of extras, there’s an interview with the Sole director -oops, I mean director Sole! He discusses how the project came together and shares some fun stories including how he found out that horses can’t go down a flight stairs, much less three flights of stairs. It’s a great interview but I wish some of the cast would’ve showed up to share stories as well. There is a photo gallery but sadly, no original trailer.Actors: Tom Smothers, Carol Kane, Tammy AlversonĪlso known as: Thursday the 12th (Wordking title) | America, America (Italy)ĭescription of Pandemonium movie: Bambi, the only survivor of a brutal cheerleaders killing a few years ago, is now leading a cheerleading University. Adieu fellow human Beings, I love you all more than you'll all ever know.But as she takes on a new year of training, several girls start showing up murdered in the most bizarre ways. Everyone ESPECIALLY in these times and any other when humans wish to flirt with annihilation, MUST SEE. The news feeds overloads of fear to the public with the us vs them brainwash, but this shows how we are all in this together and at the end of the day, each other food and a home on earth is all that matters. This movie made me sick in an enlightening and very aware way. looking forward to my next enjoyment and entertainment. Not to mention our new inventions of mini nukes that spray a bunch of tiny nukes all the hell over creating nasty pockets of nightmares around the world as I sit back in U.S. I live in Nevada too, and being from Las Vegas,having a Nuclear Test site Museum and discussions of such things as a norm, I did not even grasp the horrific pandemonium and lifeless dismay that such a terrible weapon good cause. This was horrorshow horrible, & I don't think many people realize how awful the sick toys our leaders play with are. This should be remastered and re-released. What a masterful achievement! On a tiny budget, using local people instead of known actors and with inventive DIY special effects (the burns are Rice Krispies and ketchup), the team created a realistic apocalypse whose possibility still threatens - and always will, for as long as MAD remains the best compromise. ![]() Sure, it's imperfect and numerous mistakes have been made - but none close to the worst that could have been.Įven decades later, I cushioned my re-watching of the film by reading first about how it was made. ![]() ![]() Bizarrely, MAD (mutually assured destruction) did afford us pretty comfortable and safe lives, powered by the drive to rebuild and explore instead of the opposite.

By the time 'Protect And Survive' came out, I already knew the advice - though better - would be useless. A post-war child, I grew up with siren tests and absurd nuclear drills involving the kitchen table and a white sheet.
