VHS Movie Reviews of Project:Shadowchaser
Movie Review: almost total trash
Summary: 3 Stars
There are movies for which a star rating doesn't work if you're into trash movies. But this one would have to be trashier to get a higher rating from me, as it obviously is aimed at being trash. John Eyres walks a close line to Albert Pyun who did the guilty pleasures "Nemesis 1 - 4", "Omega Doom" and stuff. I think Eyres might have a bit more money but in the end the F/X are awful. But there aren't to many, mostly explotions and stuff. This movie, as written by the other reviewer, has a lot gay looks and machoism along the way, it's true. It's laughable and in the end, the movie has like zero effect. The "evil cyborg" never really gets dangerous, they sorta make him look and sound so, but he's not like ripping anyone's head off or whatever. He rather pukes out one one-liner after the other while some kidnapped people in the background act as if they're feared to their death. In context to this, the cyborg's evil expressions (oral and facial) are completly funny, like when you watch people getting scared by the look at a Garfield puppy. There are some cool one-liners that hit the spot, like when the cop says "I swear I'm gonna hunt you down 'till the end of your life!" - "I never was alive." At this point they make you remember that the blond beauty is supposed to be a dangerous, fearsome cyborg.
But then, there's pretty "cool trash" stuff here as well. For example, the "only helpful guy" is imprisoned in some "Demolition-man"-like prison. I think he was the one who knew the architecture of the hospital. But they woke up the wrong guy for some reason, a rather little idiot who got imprisoned for probably stealing toys from a child. He (i guess) keeps lying about his true identity as it might serve him for escape. When they escort him into the hospital, the elevator gets partly blown and crashes down, but he can grap a rope while the others get killed. So he remains left alone, hanging in that shaft, becoming another Jack from Die Hard.
I would watch it again for trashy nostalgia. But it's definetly not worth spending too much many for! Sequels were made of this one, part three being the most atmospheric, even partly thrilling part. It takes place in a space station that gets hit by a huge, deserted, dirty space ship. They can only survive, when they get on board of that ship. There they find our blond friend again. Entertaining trash! Probably only consumable with other substances.
