BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM
An animated feature from the nineties that’s highly revered by Batman fans, who rank it with Tim Burton’s 1989 BATMAN and the Christopher Nolan helmed DARK KNIGHT features. For a dissenting opinion read on…
THE BAT WHISPERS
A silly mystery/comedy from 1930 that’s an absolute stunner from a photographic standpoint, with bold expressionistic visuals and wildly innovative camerawork. It was also the alleged inspiration for Batman
BAD TIMING
A love it or hate it exercise that’s been described as “a sick movie made by sick people for sick people”…by its own distributor!
BAD TASTE
Peter Jackson’s premiere film was this rude, crude and hilariously gross no-budget splatfest. It’s puerile, exploitive, stupid as shit, and (in my eyes at least) irresistible.
BAD GUY
It’s a rare film that contains something to offend absolutely everybody, but BAD GUY manages it. It’s an unlikely love story many will claim—and have claimed—is misogynistic, and they’re probably right
BABY BLOOD
A pretty incredible 1990 French horrorfest boasting a highly respectable gore quotient, stylish direction and a strong lead performance by newcomer Emmanuelle Escourrou
THE BABY
This early seventies sickie is a real curiosity: an exploitation movie about a grown man raised as an infant. A neglected classic? Hardly, but the film is an intriguing piece of work
EYES OF FIRE
This Missouri lensed no-budgeter from the eighties is real oddity: a hallucinatory horror movie set in Colonial America
EXTREMITIES
This misconceived 1986 film, an upscale rape-revenge fantasy, is best remembered nowadays as one of several attempts by the late Farrah Fawcett to establish herself as a serious actress
EXPULSION OF THE DEVIL
Quite a few haunted house clichés are utilized in this slow moving French-made effort by Juan Luis Bunuel. A seeming inspiration on POLTERGEIST, the film has a few good things, but not enough to make for a worthwhile product.
