  • Maryland filmmaker Don Dohler returns to the show with "Nightbeast", a movie that makes up for what it lacks in budget with laser sound f/x & awkward love scenes!

    The female deputy was actually the director Don Dohler's aunt's hair dresser, but in the documentary Blood, Boobs and Beast Dohler himself said it was his wife's hair dresser. I wanna say wife cause I imagine Dohler asking his wife like; "Honey, didn't your hair dresser used to be a stripper?" "Yeah, why?!" "I need an actress who doesn't mind being nude in a sex scene". "You didn't tell me you where adding a sex scene in this movie?!" "I didn't, but the distributor insisted on having some nudity in it. And since this movie already has gore and an alien monster I might as well add the 3rd B in the 3 B's". What's the 3 B's?" "Blood, Boobs and Beast". And guess which one of the distributors this movie had? Troma! Yes, this is an official Troma-movie! Oh and filming the sex scene with his wife or aunt's hair dresser was pretty awkward for Dohler =P

    • @joshfulcifan1015

    Random fact: in addition to reusing actors from "The Alien Factor" in this movie, Don Dohler reused the names of the characters from that movie, too. He even went a step further, having the actors play the same roles in both movies. For example, in both movies the mayor's name is Bert Wicker, and in both movies he's played by Richard Dyszel.
    ...is this movie technically a sequel to "The Alien Factor"?

    I wouldn't call it a remake but there's a lot of borrowing from Alien Factor here, including the same actors, playing the same characters, having the same conversations. Alien Factor is still one of the most hilarious bad movies I've ever seen. Just everything about it. The sheriff driving a coupe, the abrupt existentialist ending, my favorite group of ill-fated greasy, longhaired Don Dohler yokels....

    Have you reviewed The Night Walker, with Barbara Stanwick? She has one of the best screams I have EVER heard. It is blood chilling. The movie is also one of those crazy 60ish Corman films. The good kind of crazy.
    Thanks for this review. I am going to give it a watch. The monster reminds me of Rawhead Rex.

    At the beginning when you said: "It was made on a budget of 14...", I swore you were going to say 14 dollars. And I could have believed it!
