Trick or Treat (1986)

Red Coat Black Coat watch Charles Martin Smith's Trick or Treat (1986), heavy metal horror film inspired by the Satanic Panic of the 1980s.

Westworld (1973)

Why spend hours and years watching HBO's exciting, thoughtful, and nudity strewn WESTWORLD when you can get (basically) the same story in 89 minutes of Michael Crichton's 1973 directorial debut WESTWORLD?

John Carpenter's Christine (1983)

After the financial failure of THE THING, John Carpenter is forced to adapt Stephen King's CHRISTINE to the big screen.

Christine plays at the Can-View Drive In March 1984

Company of Wolves (1985)

Arty, post-modern fairy tale The Company of Wolves makes for a poor drive-in double feature.

Halloween 5 The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

Red Coat Black Coat takes a look at Halloween 5, disappointed that the film fails to follow up on the intriguing story-lines suggested by the end of Part 4. Despite Danielle Harris' Herculean performance, and intense scenes of horror, the film is ultimately buried by inept writing, embarrassing "humour", and genuinely annoying characters.
