...scene in Humanoids, a bunch of slobbering, obese rednecks surrounds one of the creatures and gorily beats it to death while the audience cheers them on. The racial overtones are frightening, particularly when you consider that the strongest market for this kind of movie is the South. The humanoids fulfill the rabid redneck vision of black men invading their towns and screwing their women. The movie is both a rapist's and a Klansman's fantasy. Many horror movies subtly encourage our xenophobia: the vampire film, for example, where the mysterious foreigner brings pestilence and death. (And preys...

It is a big if that has network executives wondering: Can Brinkley, the son of a Wilmington, N.C. railway clerk, outdraw that rich, bad bunch from Dallas? Prime time will tell-or, as Edward R. Murrow, the granddaddy of the laconic news style, used to say, "Good night and good luck...
...next door, and so is to be considered as something quasi-fictional, set apart by razzle-dazzle technology and melodrama from the life of real grief and real blood. The bestselling Matarese Circle has at the base of its plot the idea of the original assassins, the hashshashin, a bunch of hashheads who practiced contract murders at the behest of an "Old Man of the Mountains."
