Blind Fury (1989)

A Vietnam veteran, blind but an expert in martial arts involving sword fighting, is looking for his best friend but is forced by circumstances to protect his son in his absence.

'Blind Fury' is a typical B action movie from the 80's. With Rutger Hauer in the lead role, this film was a subjective favorite for many a childhood before the times invented action movies made with class and  written by screenwriters who know what they're doing. 

Director:  Phillip Noyce   

With: Rutger Hauer, Terry O'Quinn, Brandon Call, Noble Willingham, Lisa Blount, Nick Cassavettes, Meg Foster

Rating: 8/10

Society (1989)

Bill Whitney is a popular teenager who suddenly discovers alarming details about his family and the world around him.

'Society' is a cult horror that shocked its audience when released. Its two most important attributes are related to firstly: the metaphor of society and the human nature's tendency to lose one's individuality to their social environment and secondly to the intense use of body horror with the traditional special effects of the time, still impressive in current times. The story has an easy-to-understand plot, but certain elements of the action cause some well deserved eyebrow raising.

Director:  Brian Yuzna     

With: Billy Warlock, Concetta D'Agnese, Ben Slack, Evan Richards

Rating: 7/10
