Viewing Notes

14th film in the TR horror movie marathon and one I absolutely would not have guessed correctly:

8:52 a.m.
Hint: Strange “family friendly” 80s fantasy starring a hugely popular recording artist

SUPER XUXA VS. SATAN is totally weird and batshit nuts. I wasn’t thinking outside of the USA so I was unaware of Super Xuxa, the pop idol in Brazil, but she’s the star here in this family fantasy adventure that had our live chat blowing up bc it’s just so freaking strange. I wasn’t awake enough to really appreciate it other than just taking in the visuals. Seems like a good flick to view while home medicating.
