'Little Devils: The Birth' (1993) - George Pavlou.
Unfairly neglected, George
'Rawhead Rex' Pavlou's animated 90s B-Horror has plentiful Full Moon/Charles Band
vibes throughout, and cannily plays it strictly for laughs. This agreeably
boisterous Canadian Creepshow stars statuesque, Stella Stevens, Marc 'The Gate' Price, Nancy
Valen and, Russ Tamblyn who fearfully find themselves bloodily besieged by a heavily armed mob of dwarfish, death-dealing gargoyles, these rampaging, red-eyed rapscallions inexplicably hell bent on their destruction!
Little Devils is unabashedly silly, and certainly knows
it, and, winningly, some of the humorous scenes are intentional! I kinda' dug on the sprightly slimy shenanigans, and more forgiving 'Puppet
Master'/'Ghoulies' fans just might get a diminutive kick watching the murderous
mayhem of these malefically mud-borne Little Devils!! Marc Price
and Nancy Valen are genuinely likable homunculus hunting protagonists, and
screen veterans, Stevens and Tamblyn appear to be having a blast with all the riotous B-Movie buffoonery! While
derivative, and undeniably hokey, Pavlou's gallopingly gloopy schlocker 'aint no
dog!!! I'm ardently hoping for a slinky Blu-ray restoration with gratuitously extended landlady scenes!!!!
