This Place Is Damned: Amsterdamned (Netherlands, 1988)

Jul 8, 2021

There's a silent, submersible killer stalking the canals of Amsterdam. Nobody is safe - not hookers, not sunbathers and certainly not the beautiful new girlfriend of the city's top cop. This shameless romp through 1980s horror and action tropes is perfect for a "so bad its good" midnight feature. Also, if you were a tourist, what monster would you rather be stalking you in the canals?

Motion Picture Terror Scale: 1. Quality: 4. Enjoyment: 5.
