Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
THE WHITE ALLIGATOR
Indonesian madness with a magic crocodile, a mystic queen, two mutant births, a blatant lift from THE EXORCIST, a homicidal tree, and much, much overall insanity
WHIRLPOOL
Another “lost” film unearthed, a Danish-made grindhouse classic from the famed Spanish sleazemeister Jose Larraz
THE WHIP AND THE BODY
One of the strangest and most interesting films made by Mario Bava, a film featuring ahead-of-its-time perversity and the type of visual brilliance for which Bava is renowned
WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH HELEN?
A uniquely stylish horror fest from the late Curtis Harrington. WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH HELEN? contains little in the way of terror or suspense, but is a wildly enjoyable romp through old Hollywood
WHAT IS IT?
Q: What is the absolute WEIRDEST movie of the 00s? A: This ten-years-in-the-making cinemutation, the directorial debut of nutcase actor Crispin Glover
CATASTROPHE
The most famous collection by Italy’s late Dino Buzzati
THE CASTLE OF ARGOL
This French novel is perhaps the most famous work of gothic surrealism.
Cast a Cold Eye
A good book, this: well written, solidly characterized and imaginative. It’s a period novella set during an important but little-explored stretch of American history. I wasn’t too impressed by the final pages, which take the tale in a predictable and overly pat direction, but overall I like CAST A COLD EYE a fair amount.
THE CASE AGAINST SATAN
An early sixties horror novel that’s been MIA for over forty years, THE CASE AGAINST SATAN by Ray Russell is one of the most important reprints of 2015
CAPTAIN BLOOD
Here we have one of the few novels that can accurately be summed up by the vastly over-utilized term mind-blowing. Beyond that, however, I’m not entirely sure if CAPTAIN BLOOD is some kind of dark masterpiece or just a twisted mess of epic proportions. Strong arguments can be made for both views.
