This film was the weakest of the trilogy for me.  The movie dragged at several points and I did not care for the Hannibal King character..I just don't like wise asses, not to mention that while Blade and Abigail are killing off vampires left and right during the big, climactic fight scene, Hannibal has fights with just two and almost loses both.  Purcell does a good job with Drake, and I really liked his "primal form".  The whole lock up sequence at the police station and the escape were just a waste of valuable film time.
Fortunately, this seems to be the end of the story...hopefully!

Deadly Friend, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Deadly Friend
Movie Count: 38
TV Ep Count: 15
Time Started: 7:30am
Plot:
Enjoy being really scared? Have we got a pal for you. Wes Craven ('A Nightmare on Elm Street', 'Red Eye') directs "a witty ghoul story" (Caryn James, 'The New York Times') that combines artificial intelligence with all-too-genuine horror. Lonely teenage genius Paul (Matthew Laborteaux), a specialist in brain research, has two best friends: his remarkable robot BB and the beautiful girl next door (Kristy Swanson). When tragedy strikes both his friends, he desperately tries to save them both by pushing technology beyond its mortal limits into a terrifying new realm. Like a modern-day Dr. Frankenstein, Paul discovers too late that he has created a rampaging monster. Your blood will run cold...if it runs at all...after meeting this 'Deadly Friend'.

My Thoughts:
This is a movie That I remember really enjoying when I was a teen... but unfortunately I haven't seen since... so I was thrilled when I found out it was in the Twisted Terror Collection Boxset. This is one of the ones I really couldn't wait to see again.

The movie held up very well for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. I believe anyone that seen this movie will agree with me when I say that the best kill scene had to be the basketball scene. If you never seen this movie I suggest checking it out. I don't believe you will be sorry.

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

19. Sanctuary
Original Air Date: 5/2/2000
Convinced Faith is capable of changing her ways, Angel tries to help her even as Kate, the Watchers Council and Buffy continue to hunt her down.

Guest Stars:
Elisabeth Rohm
Christian Kane
Stephanie Romanov
Eliza Dushku
Sarah Michelle Gellar

My Thoughts:
This is a great conclusion to Faith coming to LA. Plenty of excitement. And Buffy comes to town seeking vengeance. Though I do think Wesley was a little quick to help Angel after the torture he went through at the hands of Faith.  At least Cordelia taking off for a vacation while they helped Faith was a little more believable.

My Rating:
