ALL GIRLS WEEKEND – Review
ALL GIRLS WEEKEND Review There’s a lot more to ALL GIRLS WEEKEND than just a group of girls in the woods that perish one by one. The film plays out as an adventure and mystery, complimented by action and horror…
The Hearse (1980)
There is nothing better than a good ghost story with mood and imagination and The Hearse claims these properties to some degree. That it is an over-cliched film with comic relief that doesn’t quite fit counts against it, as does…
Dead & Buried (1981)
This is a real sleeper, although the presence of screenwriter Dan O’Bannon’s (‘Alien’) name in the credits automatically assures us we are in for a treat. And this is most certainly the case; ‘Dead and Buried’ is a real class…
Angels’ Wild Women (1972)
Al Adamson might just be the worst director of all time–perhaps even worse than Ed Wood, Hershell Gordon Lewis, Ted Mikels or Ray Dennis Steckler. But once you’ve gotten to the level of these directors, saying exactly which was the…
Pumpkinhead (1988)
Ed Harley lives with his young son in the country, where they live a simple life and run a small store. Some city teens stop by at the store and get on their bikes for some fun. While this is…
Satan’s Sadists (1969)
This film is a kind of guilty pleasure of mine. It’s not that good, but it definitely delivers on the drive-in schlock that made the late 60s and early 70s exploitation films fun. The cast was mostly unknown at the…
Werewolves on Wheels (1971)
Traveling through the country, Adam, (Steve Oliver) Helen, (D.J. Anderson) Scarf, (Barry McGuire) Pill, (Billy Grey) Tarot, (Gene Shane) Shirley, (Anna Lynn Brown) and Mouse, (Owen Orr) members of a biker gang, stop off at a small town to take…
Tales from the Crypt (1972)
The early 70’s were golden years for the British horror industry… Hammer produced their last goodies, while there was another company who specialized in making the so-called `horror-omnibuses’… During a reign of approximately 10 years, Amicus brought forward anthologies going…
Gog (1954)
Richard Egan is a civilian scientist and security expert called in to investigate queer goings on at a military experimental station in the desert. The CO of the station is Herbert Marshall. The requisite scientific assistant is Constance Dowling. It’s…
Hotel Paradiso (1966)
Farces are made in the dramas of all countries, but they are usually the most difficult things to push from one state to another. Language is the chief problem, but also there is the issue of what one country considers…
Werewolf of London (1935)
“Werewolf of London” almost never gets mentioned when one talks of the classic Universal horror flicks of the 30s and 40s. Yet it is as good or better than most of them. The story involves a biologist (Henry Hull) who…
The 27th Day (1957)
Grossly undervalued, under-marketed and overlooked piece of Scifi. Intellectually right up there with THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL and presenting in some ways many of the inter-racial and socially irresponsible foibles that human-kind finds so entrenched. Made at a…
Westworld (1973)
“Westworld” is supposed to be set in the future (as visualized back in 1973 when the film was made, apparently the computers of the future are really, really big, and the monitors are really, really small, lol), where pampered rich…
The Sugarland Express (1974)
After the success of Duel (which was really a TV movie) Sugarland Express (Spielberg’s first feature film) flopped at the box office, though it received a reasonably warm critical response. In fact this is a great little movie for all…
The Losers (1970)
Rough and tumble hog-riding Hell’s Angels hellions Link (the almighty William Smith), Duke (the equally awesome Adam Roarke), Dirty Denny (former real-life Green Beret Houston Savage), Speed (Gene Cournelius) and Limpy (a fine Paul Koslo) are recruited by the CIA…
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage : A Review By Abigail Braunsdorf
Written and Directed by Dario Argento Starring Tony Musante (Sam), Suzy Kendall (Julia), and Eva Renzi (Monica) The interior of the art gallery stands out as a clean, bright, white box against the dark city outside- an enormous display case…
The Cobra (1967)
The movie starts off well enough with a cheesy rock score by Anton Garcia Abril that leads into a cool psychedelic credit sequence but it’s all downhill from there. Peter Martell, who made a lot of spaghetti westerns, is a…
ALL GIRLS WEEKEND available July 12th
Childhood friends try to rekindle their friendship during a weekend in the mountains. Soon the women get lost and now, alone and hungry, they must battle the elements, each other, and an unforeseen force that is determined to stop…
Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens (1979)
Russ Meyer’s films may be silly and irreverent, but they’re also great fun, and while Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens is not his best work, it’s still great fun to watch and certainly comes recommended to Meyer’s fans! In…
Savage Streets (1984)
Savage Streets (1984) is directed by Danny Steinmann and this belongs to the better achievements of the vigilante genre. Brenda’s (Linda Blair) deaf little sister Heather (Linnea Quickley) is abused by a brutal street gang and left to her agony…
