LITTLE DEVILS: THE BIRTH (1993) * The protagonist has a sign on his wall that says "It's better to write crap than shovel it." Debatable, and certainly less productive. In any event I hope they enjoyed writing it more than I enjoyed watching it. Vulgarian aesthetically absent '80s feel gives way to indescribably bad acting in pursuit of something indiscernible but clearly pointless. Yes, just like the '80s. Stella Stevens is quite a bit older than she was in the westerns of the '50s, but her hair still isn't real, she still can't deliver her lines, and she's still trying to interest people in her underwear. It wouldn't seem possible, but her career has gone retrograde since her debut as Appassionata von Climax in Say One For me, Li'l Abner. She's the scariest thing in the movie! The film is essentially a mild variation on Gremlins for really dumb people, but the special effects are such that the most impressive one was a big bonfire. A problem with publicly associating yourself with a symbol is that it can be appropriated by any moron for anything. The mad scientist kid has a patch of a feather on his ridiculous vest, even though he obviously has nothing in common with Robert Plant. Even the very worst of Plant's music of the '80s, which was pretty bad, outclasses schlock like this by dimensions.
