Succubus (1968)
This was an early color film for Franco but he seems to have mastered the new process with relatively little problems, here utilizing a decidedly Bava-esque palette (the famous scene with the mannequins, for instance). SUCCUBUS is considered a transitional…
Cleopatra Jones (1973)
‘Cleopatra Jones’ is one of my favourite 1970s exploitation movies. While technically blaxploitation it bears very little resemblance to the grittiness and relative realism of ‘Shaft’, ‘Superfly’ or ‘Black Caesar’. It is closer to ‘Black Belt Jones’ meets James Bond,…

Elves (1989)
