The Willies: Short anthology
Starring Sean (Lord Of The Rings, Goonies) Astin this anthology is a curious creature as it only has two stories plus the wrap around. Rather light hearted and more in the vein of Goosebumps this is suitable for more or less all ages. The first story is about a monster residing the toilets of a school and the other regarding a weird kid whose hobby is pulling wings off flies and making them into characters in his dioramas. Though looking very dated and with some appalling sfx the movie certainly has its charm but definitely shouldn't be confused with a horror. Watchable though predictable stuff, the second story is at least rather disturbing. The Good: Clu Galager Sean Astin Second story gets under your skin The Bad: Looks rather tacky Should have been at least three stories Things I Learnt From This Movie: A 3rd mini story in the opening of the film was removed due to being considered distasteful which involved a poodle and a microwave
An unnerving delight
Her's a wonderfully warped classic that should not be passed over by adult horror fans just because it's aimed at misfit 12-year-olds. What can I say? I greatly enjoy this horror movie with its gross jokes and cinematic recreations of Kentucky Fried Rat and "the poodle in the microwave" urban legends. The meat of the movie is two stories with lots of potty humor. The first story is about a monster in the boys bathroom at school. This one brings back all the childish memories of creepy school bathrooms. The second story continues with the potty humor, but it is decidedly more twisted. It's about a lonely fat kid named Gordy, who steals experimental manure to attract flies for his demented hobby. What makes the stories fun is the attention to details. For instance, the reporter interviewing Farmer Spivy about his "miracle manure" works for the KORN network. Ha, ha, ha! Get it? Gordy likes to rip the wings off of flies while listening to classical music and put the little fellas in his various dioramas of human society. The strangest diorama is a church, complete with a crucified Jesus fly. My hat is off to the writer/director of this creepy gem.
two ghost tales.one good,one not
this movie is basically about two brothers and their cousin who decide to scare each other by telling each other spooky urban legends while camping out.i guess you could compare it the TV shows Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark,although it's not as good as either of those two.anyway,what follows are two separate tales.the first one is pretty good.it's sort of a black comedy.it is quite amusing,and compelling.plus,it is well written.the second of the tales is not so good.much of the odd behaviour and events are given no reason or explanation.also this tale is boring and feels way too long.the ending makes no sense and doesn't tie into the rest of the story.long story short,the first tale is good-second one-not so much.for me,this movie is a 5/10
I can't believe I'd never heard of the woman microwaving her dog before I saw this!
"The Willies" is sort of an "Urban Legend" for kids trying to gross each other out. Sean Astin and two other boys are camping out and tell each other a bunch of nasty stories. This was actually the first time that I'd ever heard of the woman microwaving her dog; I was surprised when I later learned that it's a fairly common urban legend. The movie itself first portrays a school where the janitor (James Karen) turns out to be a hideous monster...fortunately, not totally malevolent. The next half portrays a boy who gets a little too obsessed with bugs. Yes, it's probably one of the sillier movies out there. But it knows that it is just that, so there's no problem. Sean Astin shows the same flair that he'd shown in "The Goonies" and would later show in the "Lord of the Rings" movies. Worth seeing. PS: In case you don't recognize James Karen, he most recently starred in "The Pursuit of Happiness". He also starred in "All the President's Men", "Poltergeist" and "Return of the Living Dead" 1 and 2.
this movie is funny and scary, thats why I like it
This is a very funny movie. It is about these 2 brothers camping out with their cousin played by Sean Astin, they decide to tell scary stories, the first one is about this woman the goes into a chicken restaurant and orders a bucket of chicken and when she takes her first bite she notices that it doesn't taste like chicken she looks and its a big rat that she took a bite out of. the second one is about a old man that goes on a haunted house ride and dies of a heart attack. the next story is about a woman that dries her wet poodle off in the microwave after giving it a bath in the kitchen sink. the next 2 stories are the main stories of the movie. the 1st one is about a monster living above a boys bathroom in an elementary school. The second is about a boy that has a weird hobby collecting flies and doing stuff with them. If your looking for a movie that is funny and scary you should check out the Willies because this movie is funny and scary.
