Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
IT LIVES AGAIN
The Sequel to IT’S ALIVE, made by the original film’s late creator Larry Cohen
THE PUNK
In which the British director Mike Sarne, of the notorious MYRA BRECKINRIDGE (1970), attempted a two-decades-after-the-fact comeback
TIS PITY SHE’S A WHORE (1980)
A long neglected film that simply MUST be rediscovered, this is John Ford’s notorious Jacobean drama ‘TIS PITY SHE’S A WHORE, adapted for the BBC by director Roland Joffé
NASTY
Director Paul Chart, of the psycho-thriller classic AMERICAN PERFEKT, can always be counted on for the unexpected, and unexpected is indeed the word for NASTY
LABYRINTH OF FLOWER GARDEN
This erotic noir from 1988 is a female-centered, visually rapturous thriller
THE HALLOWEEN TREE
This kid book trifle isn’t Ray Bradbury’s best work, but is nonetheless an extremely readable and erudite display of imagination and phantasmagoric imagery.
HALLOWEEN (Edited by Paula Guran)

THE GUNS OF SANTA SANGRE
Of THE GUNS OF SANTA SANGRE, a horrific western, I’ll say this: it reads very much like an Eric Red movie with its fast moving narrative that mixes breakneck action and gory horror in a manner Red practically invented, albeit without the budgetary and censorship issues that tend to mar so many of his films.

The 40th annual San Diego Comic Convention (Comic-Con) is now over. I attended, as I have nearly every year.

FLOATING DRAGON, THE TALISMAN, and IT — A Trilogy?
