At two hours it could have been terrific; at over three its wildly indulgent.

Still, Jacksons flair for designing nasty monsters didnt desert him in the Skull Island scenes.

These creatures appear in the Spider Pit sequence, where they overwhelm Andy Serkis character.

The movie isnt memorable, but he sure is.

When Norris is outed as a shapeshifter he reacts badly, forcing Kurt Russells MacReady to torch him.

Norris head is having none of that, so it splits off the body and attempts to escape.

Poor acting, a weak screenplay and staggeringly lame jump scares are just a few of its many sins.

Part of the reasonGhostbustersworks is it combines comedy and horror perfectly.

The humour comes first, but the scares are extremely well executed too.

Case in point is the library ghost, the first ghoul the heroes come across.

In hindsight, they should have let her read in peace.

Even sitting still his design is unsettling, with his lanky frame and sagging skin.

As it stands it has some highlights, like the incredible Demon Lady sequence.

It starts with a sweet old lady walking into a dinner and charming everyone in her vicinity.

Brian Yuznas satire of high society makes the rich feeding off the poor metaphor literal.

While the finale is a Kraken good time, the Medusa battle is arguably his masterwork.

His appearance is short, but his impact lingers for awhile afterwards.

The overall effect is supremely unnerving, and its another showcase for Jones talent with creature makeup.

The Rancors design is simple but immediately iconic, and it carries genuine weight and menace throughout the battle.

Hell, you even feel sorry for the big guy when Luke slams the gate down on him.

David CronenbergsThe Flyis much more than a creature feature and thats why it still resonates thirty years later.

This seemingly cute little beast appears when Dennis Nedry drives off road, and has to be free himself.

Nedrys day only gets worse from there.

One of the most notable additions to the extended cut was a brief moment with the Mouth of Sauron.

His face is totally covered aside from his gross mouth, which is subtly widened thanks to CGI tinkering.

If zombies existed odds are theyd look something like this decayed, worm-ridden mess with rotten teeth.
