BILL AND TED’S BOGUS JOURNEY
I’ve always liked this maligned sequel to BILL AND TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, which far outpaces that film in spectacle and invention
BEYOND THE GRAVE
As wonderfully eccentric a take on zombie cinema as anyone could hope for, a Brazilian made film that’s creepy, perplexing, energetic, gruesome and recommended
BEYOND THE DARKNESS
Quite simply the grossest of the gross: a disgusting, pandering, ultra-graphic sleaze fest from Italy’s notorious Joe D’Amato
BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW
Another movie that over-relies on atmosphere at the expense of a strong and original narrative. But then again, the otherworldly aura created by writer-director Panos Cosmatos and his collaborators is so extraordinary I won’t complain too much!
BEYOND LOVE AND EVIL
The undoubted magnum opus of French exploiter Jacques Scandelari, this is an undeniably striking, if laughably pretentious, explosion of psychosexual weirdness
BEYOND DREAM’S DOOR
An eighties cult horror film that somehow slipped by me back in the day. BEYOND DREAM’S DOOR is now available on DVD, thankfully, and I’ve finally seen and admired it as the uniquely tripped-out classic it is
THE BEYOND
The undoubted masterpiece of Lucio Fulci, a crazed and surreal gorefest that’s irresistible, even if it doesn’t make much sense
BEWARE! CHILDREN AT PLAY
A Troma sponsored no-budgeter worth viewing for its stunningly demented opening—a kid’s dad dies after getting caught in a bear trap and the tyke responds by cutting open the elder’s belly and happily removing his organs!—and closing sequences
BENEATH
A quirky sea monster splatter fest from director Larry Fessenden that’s not nearly as terrible as its early reception suggests, although it’s still far from Fessenden’s best work
BELLADONNA OF SADNESS
There’s never been an anime feature quite like this psychedelic extravaganza. Inspired by some of the darker aspects of European history, it’s a hypnotic and perverse spectacle, and an absolute must see
