SATURDAY THE 14th
My first-ever horror movie viewed on a big screen, which explains why I like this film as much as I do
EVIL ANGELS
A pitiless investigation into the farthest reaches of uncontained passion, adapted for the screen in 1992 by Roman Polanski
SOLARBABIES
I’ll confess I was hoping this 1986 “LITTLE RASCALS of the future” bummer would improve with age. It hasn’t.
STIGMA
A shockingly low-key grindhouse feature, starring a debuting Philip Michael Thomas
CANADIAN BACON
The last film appearance by the late John Candy and the first (and only) fictional film directed by Michael Moore. It plays exactly as you’d expect it to.
SELF DRIVER
A nifty Canadian low budgeter from 2024 that functions as both a cunning psychological thriller and an eccentric horror fest
Faust on Acid
The Faust legend reconfigured as avant-garde science fiction? It’s an approach that, in European hands, works far better than you might expect
MYSTERIOUS PLANET
One of the absolute cheapest sci fi films of 1982, a very free adaptation of Jules Verne’s MYSTERIOUS ISLAND
PARASITE (1982)
3-D monster movie silliness from Charles Band
RINGMASTER
The one and only Jerry Springer movie
