A wookie in the woods

Here we have a movie from 1980 that irked the British censors into a fury and caused it to be banned as part of the Video Nasties list.

This is the same VHS cover as the copy that I own. Today's film is NIGHT OF THE DEMON.




Here it is on YouTube.

This is really kind of a hokey movie but it does have some decent fun so it's worth a watch.

The film is told as a series of flashbacks from a survivor of an anthropology class that heads out to either prove, or disprove the legend of Sasquatch. So we get some great Bigfoot violence in this one. Most notably a scene where a biker gets his junk ripped off while urinating! Great stuff.

                                                          "No, not so great, ya jerk!"

Eventually we learn about Crazy Wanda, a woman who was raped by Bigfoot and had a hideous hybrid baby. Our team finally meets the fuzzball themselves and the rest is movie history.

It's kind of a wacky film but it does have some nice gory sequences that makes it worthwhile. And it's nice to see an upload on YouTube.
