DEADLY SPAWN
A 3 A.M. movie for sure, but definitely an above average specimen, this is a no-budget monster mash from the early eighties that mixes gore and laughs in the manner of BASKET CASE and THE EVIL DEAD
DEADLY RUN
A lackluster French thriller notable for its intriguing premise, bequeathed by Marc Behm’s stunning source novel, and an unforgettable performance by Isabelle Adjani
DEADLY MARIA
The first feature by Tom Tykwer was this stunningly lensed exercise in surreal oppression. It’s quite grim, but also absorbing, thought-provoking and deserving of wider exposure
THE DEAD PIT

DEAD LEAVES
This no-budgeter is uniquely stark and creepy but also excessively drawn out and monotonous, essentially a promising short stretched to feature length
DEAD BOYZ CANT FLY
Those in the mood for gratuitous violence will be amply rewarded by this early-nineties over-the-topper
