I remember reading the fanzine CINEMAGIC in the 1970s which heavily covered David Allen and PRIMEVALS. Thanks for posting about it, I had no idea it was still in the works and now completed. To us "Monster Kids," David Allen was a special effects cult hero, starting with his King Kong Volkswagen commercial in the 1960s.

The stop-motion work is easily the best thing about the movie. It's great to see it again, done by a master. The Full Moon Blu-Ray has tons of special features that dig into the movie's history.

I'm so intrigued by "Thelma"! And thanks for the detailed Hitchcock segue.

I expect Thelma to be a sleeper hit when it's released next month. It's got something for every generation.
