    One of those films I watched loads as a child and then hadn't seen for some decades. My memory of it was pretty hazy and I was delighted to find how much fun this silly haunted house film remains.

    Author Roger Cobb (a superbly comedic William Katt) moves into his deceased aunt's house, where his son had mysteriously disappeared some time before. Weird stuff starts to happen. There's Vietnam flashbacks, various rubbery monsters and next door neighbour George Wendt essentiallly…

    Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?

    Man in Black: Oh no, it's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

    THE PRINCESS BRIDE LITERALLY PREDICTED COVID.

    Watched this while recovering from kidney surgery. Frankly, the breaks I took to piss blood were more enjoyable.

    Depending on which of the two types of martial arts movie plot you prefer (fighting your way through a tournament to avenge the death/injury of your friend/relative or learning a new martial arts technique from an old master to avenge the death/injury of your friend/relative) then either this or Kickboxer is Van Damme's best film. Although he should have won two best actor Oscars for Double Impact, obviously.
