The Kindred


Dir: Jeffrey Obrow + Stephen Carpenter
Star: David Allen Brooks, Kim Hunter, Rod Steiger, Amanda Pays

[3] - Slow starter this one, perks up noticeably when Amanda Pays (soon to appear, wearing wet lingerie, in Leviathan) arrives. This genetic-experiment-on-the-loose pic rips off Alien & The Thing in equal measure, with bits from Re-Animator and The Evil Dead. Plus points: lots of slime, a couple of nice effects + Amanda Pays. Minuses: Predictable, not enough annoying American teenagers get killed, Amanda Pays vanishes too early and the monster is laughable.

5/10
