The Final Terror (1983 Slasher Review/Retrospective)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The Final Terror is a backwoods slasher that for years I wasn't quite sure what it was...based on the ambiguous title. It might not have seen the light if not for its premature star power in Daryl Hannah & Adrian Zmed. Let's dig deep. #TheFinalTerror #Slasher

I love these in-depth reviews for classic slasher movies! I’m always looking for these hidden gems.
Me too Karen. I always have fun covering the lesser known stuff.
The dude who plays Zorich, John Friedrich, is awesome in The Wanderers - now that's a movie!
I’ll add that one to my list. Never heard of it.
One of my favourite movies. I watched it so many times in my early teens, me and my sisters would watch it nearly every Friday night when my parents went the pub. The soundtrack is one of the best too.
The Wanderers sure is a great movie.
Leave the kid alone.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews It's by Philip Kaufman, just before he did Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. Badass gritty gang movie.
When I saw the video from Good Bad Flicks for this, I checked, and found it on RUclips. So yeah, it is on here, from 5 years ago. Funny you mentioned Friday the 13th as camping in the woods, with a slasher, have a feeling they were inspired by Friday the 13th. Anyways, enjoyed this video. Thank you, Lee.
I watched GoodBadFlicks video today actually. Really informative.
They also got the campfire story time like F13, The Burning and Madman. Love those parts in all those movies.
Glad you reviewed this one! Love this gem of a Movie.
Thank you!
I’m glad that you liked this movie. I’m not even kidding when I say it’s one of my favorites from the 80s. I saw it on HBO around ‘86 or so and recorded it. Eventually, I bought a bootleg DVD before it was officially released. The cast is solid, the Redwoods Forest is a great backdrop, the music throughout is atmospheric, and frankly, Zorich is an awesome character. I praise this movie often! Thank you for spreading the love!
Yes I really loved it.
Lee, never stop making these older teen slasher reviews. They're my favorite! I'm constantly watching new ones that I find and always love to hear some discussion about them. Even my friends/family wonder why I prefer to choose a 1981 slasher to a movie that came out last year 😅 There's just something with the feel/look that makes it insanely comforting to me.
I never will brother. Love covering them.
Thanks for the review. I love this movie.
Welcome!
Love that just when I think there’s
Nothing to discover in the early 80’s horror…. New gems like this pop up!
Thanks for watching!
I started watching this on Tubi a while back but I never finished it. I remember they had a disclaimer mentioning how it was stitched together from whatever elements they could acquire.
Yeah and you can tell. But the print is definitely serviceable.
old movies like this are gems. Not sure ive seen it,but just saying in general. the 70s 80s and even some of the 90s had some of the best budget horror to high budget and everything in between. Just like with everything else in our lives, there will never be another time like those years. Thanks Lee
It's almost a guarantee that I will at least like any 80s slasher.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews for real
So this is a perfect example of why I don’t include clips in my videos most of the time. This was actually a review I was really proud of when I did it, because I included clips and all sorts of editing, and then it was not only ineligible for monetization, but it was also partially blocked from people and only ended up getting about 100 views because of it. So annoying.
Ugh....and yeah I wonder if it's a matter of time they start cracking down on the usage of clips
I absolutely think yes unfortunately
@sinistercinemareviews5420 music is pretty much impossible. I got a copyright strike a little while ago so I stopped posting until it clears. You ever get any?
Oh damn. My rule is that I only use so many seconds for each clip. Maybe 3 to 5 seconds. You don't want to use too much.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Makes sense. Wonder how many seconds you can get away with songs🤔🤔🫣🫣
I remember this...its been a long time but i did enjoy it when i saw it...i recently saw "suitable flesh" at the Tribeca film festival,i really liked it. Keep an eye out for it, Barbara Crampton and Heather Graham..good carnage, there is a trailer for it on youtube. You will like this movie
Those two?!?!....I'm in!
I literally just messaged Barbara last week to get a screener (she's a friend). She hooked me up. Looking forward to watching it.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews hell yeah
Man, saw this back when I was a young teen and loved it. This was one of those films I would (and still do) recommend to my friends
Yeah it's an interesting one. I've always known the title, but never knew what exactly it was.
Honestly, I watched it because of Darryl Hanna. But glad I did
I've really been into watching these older, not as well known, horror movies. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks Holly! Will do!
You had me at Adrian Zmed and Joe Pantoliano. 😂 Actually, I had watched this a while back on RUclips; the title intrigued me.
Nice Review
Mr. Lee
I Think I Might Have Seen This On Prime
A While Ago
But It Didn’t Really Grab My Attention
I May Have To Try It Again
Thanks For Reviewing Another 80’s Hidden Gem
Welcome Polly!
I remember seeing this on late night broadcast TV when I was about 14 or 15. I also thought too many people lived. Was pretty entertaining, though.
Yep. Definitely interesting.
I love this movie so underrated Lee. This is a hidden gem 💎
Yeah it’s cool.
Glad that you reviewed this film; no one talks much about this hidden gem. I rewatched this one last year, and I really enjoyed it on my second viewing. I'd love to see more reviews of some backwoods 80s slashers from you in the future. I remember a few hidden-gem 80s slashers: American Gothic (1987), April Fool's Day (1986), Body Count (1986), Mountaintop Motel Massacre (1983), and Motel Hell (1980).
Yeah I just noticed it on Shudder recently. Thought I'd give it a shot.
I like these reviews of movies I haven’t seen. Always looking for stuff I haven’t seen before
Just doing my civic duty.
Always love your classic slasher videos,never heard of this one before awesome job as usual lee bro!!
Thanks man. Just doing my part.
Never heard of this one. Great find, Lee.
Thank you!
Looks like it's right up my alley , cant wait to check it out, thanks Lee !
Welcome!
I remember seeing this on VHS back in the day but didn't rented it to record it because it didn't call my attention. Besides Fangoria didn't cover the VHS I think so no indication if it was good or not. Anyway good review and cool video Lee!👉😃👈
Yeah the title always caught my attention but I never gave it a chance. Glad I did.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews 👍
The first time I saw this film was on an episode of Commander USA, if anyone out their even remembers this guy or not.
@@Nazzlover38 Awesome!
This is one ive yet to see lee.
Its on my list to import from the states as its not available in the uk 😢. Joe pantiolano was so good in the sopranos as ralf 👍
He’s a national treasure.
Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters review 😎📽🎃
What I heard about that behind the scenes footage of Halloween (1978) and I heard this from Dave McRae is that Irwin Yablans doesn't want the footage to get released. For me makes no sense because us Halloween fans would pay good money to see that.
I’m definitely curious.
Wow another 80's slasher I know nothing about, excellent review Lee it's great you find this hidden gems to enlighten my knowledge of horror movies i never knew Andrew Davies directed a horror film.
Definitely check this one out TL!
You’ve never seen the heavenly kid, and it shows
Oh wow, I ain't even thought about that one in years! Deep cut right there, man.
I’ve heard of it, but I haven’t seen it.
Another title for this movie Lee was called The Forest! A good one sir!
Oh cool. I know they had trouble figuring out a name for a good while.
Always loved this and Just before Dawn. Underrated
Yes....especially Just Before Dawn.
Shark movies need a massive resurgence in Hollywood
Yes. We need a great one.
Yeeeesss! Can't wait to watch this later😀😀😀
Thank you!
Nice video Lee! New camera? 🤔 looks like you did lots of editing adding those clips which was great!!
No same camera I’ve been using since I started honestly.
I saw this film recently and I really enjoyed it. Not a high body count, but some quality acting and an interesting killer. I thought the finale was really cool!!!
Yeah I really dug this one.
Howdy there Lee!👋 I love it when you give recognition and praise to the horror films from the 60's through the 90's!💚 Thank you for being one of the "bigger" horror channels that does that⭐ ..I hate to correct you, but "Splash" wasn't released until March 1984, so Daryl Hannah may have been better known during this time when this movie was released for her roles in "Summer lovers" and "Blade Runner", which both came out in 1982...Adrian Zmed was the "it" man back in '82, starring in the motion picture "Grease 2" (which you mentioned), and also we can't forget he was on our small TV Screens every Saturday night as part of the police force in the hit ABC Series, "T.J. Hooker", along with William Shatner, Heather Locklear, and James Darren...Thanks again for all you do, and hope that you and yours are having a bright and beautiful weekend! Take care! Ms. Elizabeth 📺📼📀📺📼📀
Thank you for the clarification on Splash. I thought that movie had come out a little later. It was Blade Runner that was before actually.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews My pleasure my friend!🙏...I also would like to mention that I saw this movie about 5 years ago right here on RUclips, and I just checked, and it's still here all these years later, uncut and commercial -free for those who may not have Shudder and want to watch this fine film! Take care, and have a blessed Sunday! Ms. Elizabeth 📼📺📀📼📺📀
FEED (2005), nuff said! cheers
I just watched it. Really enjoyed it. Ended kind of abruptly. But , I liked the ending.
Yeah when that ending happened, I said to myself “wait, what?”
I saw this in a theater when it came out and its ok but not one of my favorites. The main reason I wanted to comment is because you mentioned Daryl Hannah and others who went on to bigger things but there was no mention of Rachel Ward who went on to the Thorn Birds and other things. Just wanted to bring that up. Also if you ever get a chance please watch and review the movie Massacre at Central High from 1976. Its not a slasher film but a revenge film that I would really love to hear you opinion on. Thanks for doing these reviews on these lesser known Early 80s horror movies
Funny you should mention this, I just watched this a few weeks back. Kimberly Beck and Lani O'Grady (both in that Eight is Enough pilot), Ray Underwood (Jennifer from '78), etc. I really enjoyed it. It's really made up of a cast that did a lot of TV, I had initially thought that it was a made for TV movie; until I saw a nude scene.
@@emmapeel38 Yes it also had Rainbow Smithx who showed up in a few things. I don't think I spelled her name right but oh well
Her name was Rainbeaux Smith
@@mousiespanks2379 LOL, yes, Cheryl Smith. Someone in my family rented "Revenge of the Cheerleaders" (1976) back in the mid-80's, and I had only assumed it was because David Hasselhoff was in it; not exactly a kids movie. I watched it on Tubi a while back just to see how much of it I could remember. Any way, Rainbeaux Smith was certainly in it!
My one regret is not giving Rachel award a good mention in here. Adore her. Against All Odds is a good one. I’ll add that title you mentioned to my list. Love good revenge movies.
"Befuddled" is a word. It was overused by one of my former film professors.
Thank you!
Haven't even heard of this movie 😅
Just doing my civic duty.
Too many people living is my only complaint regarding The Burning.
This 80s movie is nice
it's also on Tubi
Tubi has been awesome lately.
Dude, Love your content! Could you do a review on Assault on precinct 13 or maybe a John Carpenter best of?
I’ve been planning on reviewing Assault forever. So definitely. Carpenter is my favorite director.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews That would be great! Love to get your take on it!
I really appreciate your review, and like you, I had a similar feeling about how so many people survived (they HAD the numbers!), and was surprised and overlooked that as a bad thing (ultimately). Mark Metcalf going down pretty quickly, reminded me of Tom Skerrit going down quickly in "Alien". The atmosphere in this movie is a definite plus, and I really liked that middle part with the captive under that old house. Frankly, I'm surprised that there was a problem getting this movie completed, considering that most of the key actors had already done quite a bit of stuff even in the late '70s! Metcalf was in "Animal House", Hannah was in "The Fury", Zmed was on the TV smash hits "Flatbush" and "Goodtime Girls" (just joking!), Rachel Ward had done "Sharky's Machine" opposite of Burt Reynolds right around that time, and Friedrich had already been in a ton of stuff by that point (I'd recommend "The Death of Richie" btw).
Anyway, great review! I ALWAYS love your reviews for stuff from that period the most.
Thanks man! Yeah this one is definitely unique. Great comparison to Alien.
Daryl Hannah is excellent as Windy Morgan. 😀👍
Can't go wrong with her
@@bjmombo I agree on her. 😀👍
She honestly doesn't get much to do in this. But she's a stunner for sure.
Mark Metcalf will always be Neidermeyer from Animal House for me.
I need BEFUZZLED on a T-Shirt please! 😅
Hey Lee. Can I ask to make a video where you talk about gross horror movies or extremely controversial ones? I’d love to know your take on movies like Cannibal Holocaust and movies like that and where you draw the line. I have only one rule, no kid stuff that related to sex, only gore
Maybe you can make a vid on topic and if not, just comment here?
Love your content man!
I literally just did a vid on my 2nd channel about exploitation cinema that you will dig. Here’s a link. ruclips.net/video/uGDZHPSrWXY/видео.html
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews just watched it and loved iyour vid! The only reason I didn’t watched it before was that I’m too lazy the read the full title and thought it was a Terrifer 3 vid. I did watched both Sallo(just gross) and A Serbian Film(I think this is the only movie that ever left me a bad taste!) Please give us top 10 movies you don’t want to watch!
One of the actresses looks like Rachel Ward;the British actress.
Just checked IMBD-it is.She plays Margaret,
Yes Rachel Ward is in this Susette.
Not related to this video, but I’m just curious: did you watch REC? Couldn’t find a review on your channel.
No not yet. On my list though.
I think Joe Bob Briggs has a bunch of masters
I wouldn’t doubt it.
Want to see A REAL SCARY movie starring Joey Panteleons ...... I dare you to watch ROBOT IN THE FAMILY
Rachel Ward, a beautiful lady. Sharkey's machine was a good one.
Yes she is. Also Against All Odds.
Definitely some slow spots in the middle but it’s alright
I saw this movie at the cinema here in the UK under the title of Campsite Massacre! So - So slasher. 4.5/10.
That's so cool!
Have you seen The Prey (1983)?
I have not, but I bet it's good since it's 83.
Transfer looks like shiz, really wasn't great imo, but I bought it too. Always curious to see these old school horrors in search of a classic.
Yeah I love these old deep cuts.
I find the original final terrors
