Review of Cameron’s Closet (1988) by screenqueeen: 👍 3/5

the thirteenth night in the lonesome hooptober day 25 film 22 cat: 0

74/100

very very tepid but not without its moments, tab hunter as a bespectacled dad to his gifted child but also head research scientist on his kid's psychic development (fuck you duffer brothers) accidentally gives son the opportunity to call forth an ancient mayan demon (sigh)! this felt kind of like a thin flimsy version of BEYOND DREAM'S DOOR that is also kind of a gateway version to that movie since it came out a year later? anyway this has a relatively nice Manfredini score that feels like it's trying to distance itself from the sound of the FRIDAYs that could have, at this point in his career, painted him in a corner. but this is nice, light and warm without coming too close to 'made for tv' vibes (sorry KIRLIAN WITNESS). features one of the best deaths for an evil stepdad i think i might have ever seen. a fun afternoon watch!
