Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Platypuschow Prophecy is one of those films I'd never heard of, went entirely under my radar. I can confidently say it has aged remarkably well and it's astonishing that it was made in the 1970's.Starring Talia "Adriiiieeennne" Shire & Armand "One facial expression" Assante this tells the story of a doctor and his girlfriend who venture to the forests of Maine to bring peace between loggers and native Americans.Trouble is something's out there killing folk and the loggers believe its the native Americans! Well it's not in fact it's a great big creature that I'm sure must have been Trey Parker & Matt Stones influence for South Parks very own Manbearpig. The likeness is truly uncanny.Essentially a mystery film with a creature feature addition this is actually a perfectly watchable film and looks great. Practical effects, memorable story though a bit of a lackluster finale.If you like your beastie films you can do worse and Al Gore is super serial about this one.The Good: Looks great Manbearpig The sleeping bag death was ridiculous yet hilarious The Bad: Couple of weird writing decisions Assante is just terrible Lead was very lifeless as was Shire I was rooting for the monster Things I Learnt From This Movie: Manbearpigs cannot swim but can breath underwater Am I the one only one who expected the giant fishy to eat Manbearpig at the end?Mathmatically half man, half bear and half pig might not be feasible

Alien_Zombie This film had the potential to be a rare echo-horror that actually tackled the subject of men tempering with nature. It was apparently inspired by a real environmental disaster in Japan and since it was directed by John Frankenheimmer, I was genuinely intrigued to check out this film that I had been dismissing for so long mainly because of the infamous exploding sleeping bag scene.It starts out nicely with a violent sequence that proceeds to set up the main characters and plot; Native Americans are demonstrating against loggers working on a paper mill and taking away their land. The protagonist is a doctor who is called to the affair as an adviser and soon finds out that the plant is poisoning the water, the fish and the people who live of the land. To make matters worse there's something in the woods feeding on loggers and campers.Now, I know this is a creature feature and the monster deserves a fair amount of screen time. It is kept in wraps throughout the film, making up for some genuinely suspenseful scenes. At first it's a mere side effect of the much bigger tragedy that the land and people are suffering. But by the end it takes over the movie, turning it into a gore fest and depriving it of its original atmosphere. All the subplots are dropped, characters vanished and the movie abruptly ends.All in all, as far as echo-horror goes this is one of the most decent and fans of b movies will certainly be entertained. More stuff to look out for is the gorgeous Victoria Racimo, a young Armand Assante, those adorable mutated bear cubs and of course, the exploding sleeping bag scene.

AaronCapenBanner Robert Foxworth plays biologist Dr. Robert Verne, who, along with his wife(Talia Shire) flies to the remote wilderness of Maine to investigate claims by the local Native American tribe(led by Armand Assante) that a paper factory is poisoning the environment, resulting in polluted waters and deformed children. Though the paper company official(played by Richard Dysart) denies all responsibility, it soon becomes obvious that they are responsible, since the water is indeed poisoned with mercury, which has also created a giant mutant bear who indiscriminately kills anyone that crosses its path. Everyone joins forces to flee the creature, and find a way to stop it.Potentially interesting horror tale is ruined by clichés and unintentional humor, with some ineptly staged attack scenes, and poor special effects. Surprisingly weak film from veteran director John Frankenheimer, though has become a semi-cult classic!

Chase_Witherspoon When a city health specialist trades the ghettos for the serenity of a mountain landscape to investigate an apparent health hazard at a timber refinery, he (Foxworth) and his wife (Shire) find a disturbing by-product has evolved from the toxic pollution, putting the local Native American community and their rival logging employees at risk. A giant mutation (akin to a bear) has become the apex predator of the local wilderness, forcing foes to join forces to combat the threat.Picturesque and generally well-developed tale of nature gone awry, combines an initially sobering dose of environmentalist pathos, indigenous injustice and commercial greed with the common monster-on-the-loose theme to reasonably satisfying effect. The principle characterisations are well drawn, and generally played to type, benefiting from a talented cast, well accustomed to dealing with aggressive animals (see Foxworth in "Ants"). Frankenheimer strays from the conservation cause in the latter half, instead concentrating on the action, where the characters forgive one another's sins, in common struggle against a more immediately present enemy.The monster (portrayed here by future "Predator" Kevin Peter Hall) and its not so cute as a button offspring are such an unfortunate looking consequence, that one can't but feel sympathy for its mindless fixation with mayhem. Naturally, the protagonist (Dysart, as the logging manager) claims redemption for his company's misdemeanour, and is appropriately exorcised by the unholy creation, but the sub-plot involving Shire and her suspect foetus is never fully developed, lost amid the action of the second half. As such the audience is left to ponder the outcome, although, as is formula for these types of films, the door is left open for a film franchise to be borne.While the sequel never materialised, the message remains clear – mess with nature, and trouble you shall get. "Prophecy" isn't especially prophetic, but it is entertaining, and easy to absorb on a basic level. And for the conscientious film buff, the scene in which the monster walks under water apparently inspired the hilarious scene from an episode of the "The Simpsons" when Skinner is hunting a truant Bart Simpson, terminator style.
