Keep It Simple Is the New Black

Annoyed by the modern zeitgeist drama-queen productions, I am lately on my mission to watch movies of the good old times (everything before 2k). The Terror Within and its successor The Terror Within II are both trashy and cheesy B-movies but entertaining and, last but not least, with some moments of gore here and there. So if you are interested to watch a story set in a post-apocalyptic world with some genetic degenerated monsters on the hunt for human women to breed some more monsters, part one and two of The Terror Within may be of interest to you. In my humble opinion that mix is a very promising and strong premise for a movie ;)

Final words: both movies got a well deserved rating of 5 by me - one point I simply did add for the fact that those movies do not pretend to be anything other than what they are - trashy and bloody monster movies without any tendency to educate us on topics like gender, migration, race, daddy issues, climate change and whatever other stuff haunts our world and minds today. Conclusion: The Terror Within = popcorn entertainment for the very charming kin who got a little notion to bad taste stuff.
