The Runestone (1990) [4/9]

A "B" category monster-horror that doesn't takes itself too seriously.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100528/

A user comment from IMDb.com that sums up the movie very well:

"This one is a perfect example of 80's cinema squirming its way into 90's cinema. The story
involves an architect whose unrequited love signs him a pact with the Norse demon Fenrir,
who takes control of his body. Werewolfish Fenrir can only be destroyed by a Christopher
Lambert-esque clock maker and a well-read teenage boy. David Newman's (Heathers,
Frankenweenie) melodramatic score makes this movie stand up a notch above the rest. This one
is a winner for fans of movies like Warlock and Bad Moon. "

And another:

"When I started watching this I thought it was going to be really boring and didn't pay much
attention to what was going on. However, it seems that The Runestone is one of those films
that improves as it goes on, because things seemed to pick up in the second half. The
mystery surrounding the monster slowly sucks you in. The best scene is in the art museum,
where a girl is doing some ironing (in a display box thingy) and people are watching her.
Suddenly the monster bursts in and attacks her, and blood sprays across the windows. One of
the people watching then says: "What's the artist trying to say?" to which another replies
"Housework kills". The monster then bursts through the glass and attacks them too. This
scene is priceless and definitely worth seeing the film for! There are a few other cool
scenes after this which keep you watching. The acting is quite decent and better than most
horror flicks.
Overall, The Runestone is worth a watch for horror fans who can tolerate a bit of cheese. "
