![]() And why the fuck does a reggae band suddenly start playing a concert in between films? If I was at a horror movie marathon and the films got interrupted by some lame band, I’d be pissed. The film also jumps back and forth with a love interest that is ridiculous and so sappy and cliche, it feels like something out of Saved by the Bell. Once the maniac is revealed, the wise-cracking murderer spends most of his time making jokes than knocking off the students and attendees. The jokes are bad, the deaths are dull and there is no female flesh to even wake up the casual viewer. In fact the deaths are treated in a humorous and ridiculous way, never building any suspense or horror. But alas, fans of the dark crimson will be disappointed as the film has very little blood. What possibly could have saved Popcorn (I also hate the title) would have been the violence. I don’t get the cult following that this film has now garnered. I really tried to give it another chance but dear God this horror-comedy is so annoying and so dumb. I hated it back in 1991 and I still hate it now. ![]() I am not going to mince words here, I hated Popcorn. Watch this movie, you’ll wish you went home in a box. Has Gates survived to continue THE POSSESSOR’s deadly legacy? Jamie’s Take (1 / 5) ![]() Maggie (Jill Schoelen, THE STEPFATHER) has been having frightening dreams that seem to be connected to THE POSSESSOR, and as the festival proceeds, the nightmare comes true for her and her friends as they are stalked and slain by a mysterious killer. In addition to the three features- MOSQUITO, THE ATTACK OF THE AMAZING ELECTRIFIED MAN and THE STENCH-they decide to screen a bizarre short called THE POSSESSOR, whose creator, Lanyard Gates, killed his family and set the theater on fire after its first showing. What could be scarier than an all-night “Horrorthon”? A group of film students finds out when they stage just such an event at an abandoned movie palace.
