MY SOUL IS SLASHED
The Japanese video market of the 1990s produced some pretty amazing films, among them this highly audacious take on vampires, an exhausted subject this film treats with considerable freshness and ingenuity
MY FRIENDS NEED KILLING
A cheap, tawdry and, ultimately, extremely powerful exploitation film from the seventies
MUTANT
Dumber-than-average eighties horror, a testament to the never-waning influence of George Romero’s DAWN OF THE DEAD—but keep in mind that comparing the two films is giving MUTANT way too much credit!
THE MUSIC OF ERICH ZANN
Easily the BEST EVER short film to be adapted from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, THE MUSIC OF ERICH ZANN is a small classic from 1980 that fully retains the haunting aura of Lovecraft’s incomparable story of the same name
MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE
A 1932 Bela Lugosi chiller notable for highly expressionistic visual design and shocking-for-its-time violence
MURDER ONE
A solid fact-based account of mass murder, thoughtful and naturalistic enough to satisfy true crime buffs while still bloody enough to sate most gore hounds
MURDER LOVES KILLERS TOO
The latest in an apparently neverending line of old school slashers, MURDER LOVES KILLERS TOO is a clever take on any number of splatter movie clichés
MUM & DAD
This British sickie very much fits the definition of what has come to be termed “Torture Porn”
MOSQUITO
The full title of this 1976 Swiss curio is MOSQUITO DER SCHAENDER (MOSQUITO THE RAPIST), meaning it is NOT to be confused 1995’s big bug bummer MOSQUITO
MORGIANA
A memorable exercise in gothic excess whose fabulously baroque visuals and a deliriously melodramatic storyline make for an interesting and enjoyable viewing experience
