Fright Show

About This Movie

Fright Show is this quirky 1985 flick directed by Damon Santostefano that creates this oddly charming atmosphere. You’ve got two obscure film critics who are just a bit eccentric, hosting a lineup of four SF/Horror gems. They present films like The Thing in the Basement and Dr. Dobermind, which are pure cult material. The pacing varies, with some segments feeling a bit off-kilter, but that just adds to the charm. The practical effects are, let’s say, a mixed bag, but they have that low-budget appeal which is kind of delightful. The performances by the critics are a highlight, really bringing that tongue-in-cheek tone to the forefront. It’s the kind of film that feels like a celebration of genre cinema.
