Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
WAKE IN FRIGHT
This Australian film, also known as OUTBACK, is at once a uniquely insightful, intelligent character study and probably the darkest, grittiest—and, I’m told, most realistic—depiction of rural Australia ever committed to celluloid
MYSTICS IN BALI
Those wanting craziness will be amply rewarded by this Indonesian import centered on Eastern mysticism, in particular the mythology-based figure of a malevolent flying head with dangling entrails. Yes, it’s that kind of movie!
THE MYSTERY OF RAMPO
A strange and often puzzling fantasy about the late Edogawa Rampo (1894-1965), Japan’s foremost horror/mystery scribe
MY SOUL IS SLASHED
The Japanese video market of the 1990s produced some pretty amazing films, among them this highly audacious take on vampires, an exhausted subject this film treats with considerable freshness and ingenuity
MY FRIENDS NEED KILLING
A cheap, tawdry and, ultimately, extremely powerful exploitation film from the seventies
THE BOY WHO STOLE ATTILA’S HORSE
Yet another example of the truism that the most potent horror fiction isn’t always categorized as such
THE BOOK OF SKULLS
In its depiction of early 1970s youth culture THE BOOK OF SKULLS is dense and not a little cynical, with a concentration on psychedelics and higher states of consciousness
A BOOK OF BARGAINS
The premiere work of fiction by an author who seems destined to be known forevermore as a “friend of Oscar Wilde.”
BONES OF THE MOON
This is one of the Jonathan Carroll’s loopiest novels, and believe me: that’s saying a lot.
BLUE PAGODA
This 1946 novel, one of two A. Merritt novels “completed” by Hannes Bok, has intrigued me for some time
