Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: NIGHTBEAST

What is it about Maryland that attracts so many killer aliens?

[@haggardwashere262]

They're too afraid to land in Florida.

Props to the alien, it got the Kennys out of the picture real early.

[@donwhiteley3293]

Don Dohler, master of killing his own children on screen (tm).

So i guess Brandon's theory about the Night Beast being a star wars canteen reject was right if J.J. Abrams worked on the film, and probably one now.

Drago is also in the original movie.

[@anthonyhudak9363]

Hey Brandon when's the next Phantasm video? See that's different from a standard Godzilla request

[@JW666]

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]

When initially released in countries on vhs and betamax, the film had nothing to do with Troma. It was years later that Troma attached their name to it.

[@JW666]

@@joshfulcifan1015 Didn't knew it back then, but I still wanna stick to my story cause it's more funnier that way 😂😜

[@joshfulcifan1015]

@@JW666 Great movie though. Saw it when I was a kid and have loved it ever since. And for a low-budget independent film, I though it was really well made. The characters are likable, the gore is good, and the Creature looked really freaky.

[@JW666]

@@joshfulcifan1015 It was definitely Dohler's best movie.

[@alformodoritos2076]

So, the director was ahead of his time. He was ahead of remaking films before it was a thing.😂

[@AmityvilleFan]

The alien looks goofy, and definitely has that home-made quality on it, but it has darn good effects! I start to wonder what this director would be capable of with a professional crew.

[@mathieuleader8601]

I like to think that the sheriff is related to Napoleon Dynamite perhaps his dad or another uncle or even grandad

[@godlessgoth213]

I actually enjoy the "psyche" thing. It makes me laugh or at least smile. Please keep it up.

[@HouseOfHjonk]

YES! I love this movie more than I should... I kid you not when I say we just did a Don Dohler weekend where we ran through his filmography. I don't quite know what it is, but I never get tired of these flicks (well, 'Fiend' is kind of dull, and 'Blood Massacre' is incoherent, but otherwise...). They are just pure no-budget joys!

[@SwaggyG_2102]

Why does the nightbeast look like one of those alien extras from a Star Wars movie?

[@flatheadgg2443]

Well lucas really just collected what he could find at low budget horror reject props and shoved them in there because they couldn't afford making their own

@@AC-gb7do yes, it actually is/was. It's somewhat hard to find because the release that I have is out of print, of you're curious about that dude.

I have a very odd collection of movies and other forms of entertainment too, like books. Brandon always wears the coolest shirts I've ever seen in his videos, that Shaw Brother one is definitely the most interesting of them all. I want that shirt and I want it now.

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"?
