In a time when virtually every ‘80s movie is considered a cult
classic, it’s surprising that The New Kids doesn’t have a larger and
more vocal fan base, especially considering the pedigree of talent involved
both behind and in front of the camera. Most notably, the 1985
horror-tinged thriller is directed and produced by Sean S. Cunningham
(Friday the 13th), and the antagonist is portrayed by a young James
Spader (The Blacklist).
Always one to make
an impact even in a small role, genre favorite Tom Atkins (Halloween
III: Season of the Witch, Creepshow) opens the film as Colonel
MacWilliams, who tells his son, Loren (Shannon Presby), that he’s been
“whacking off too much” and comments on the “sexy little body” of his
daughter, Abby (Lori Loughlin, Full House). MacWilliams goes on to train
his teen children around the army base on which they live.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
