BLACK WIDOW
A silly eighties thriller with occasional flashes of interest, courtesy of actress Theresa Russell—but flashes are all we get
BLACK SUNDAY (1961)
This was the first solo-directed film by the great Mario Bava, and remains his best-known work. There’s an excellent reason for that, and for the fact that actress Barbara Steele became an icon.
BLACK MOON
A dark, freaky headscratcher from a filmmaker beloved by art snobs the world over: the French Louis Malle, best known for refined fare like ATLANTIC CITY and MY DINNER WITH ANDRE
BLACK MAGIC 2
This 1976 sequel to the Shaw Brothers classic BLACK MAGIC lacks the narrative drive of its predecessor, but makes up for it in sheer outrageousness
BLACK MAGIC (1975)
Of the many Hong Kong horror pictures made by the Shaw Brothers during the seventies, BLACK MAGIC is far from the best, even if it is the best known
BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL
A wholly ludicrous, misconceived and plain crappy film about just what the title promises. Need I say more?
BLACK DEVIL DOLL
This digitally shot atrocity is foul, tasteless, irresponsible, gratuitously violent, morally repugnant, politically incorrect and utterly lacking in redeeming social value—in other words, a blast!
BLACK CANDLES
Another fun dollop of trashy horror from Spain’s Jose Ramon Larraz, of WHIRLPOOL and VAMPYRES fame
BLACK ANGEL
This haunting and fantastic 25 minute film played before THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK during its initial release in England and Australia. Having only recently resurfaced, BLACK ANGEL is an impressive work, boasting a full-bodied medieval atmosphere and a teasingly enigmatic aura
BIRTH
In the crowded arena of bad Nicole Kidman movies, this outrageously pretentious muddle deserves a special place of honor
