Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
THE VISITOR
In the small but potent category of crazy-assed OMEN wannabes (see SUICIDE CULT and FEAR NO EVIL), the Italian-made THE VISITOR is a definite stand-out
VIOLENT SHIT
The title says it all!
VERA
This “transcendental journey of the soul” mixes Mayan mysticism with CGI and elegantly lensed live action into a head-scratching whole that must be counted as one of the most profoundly bizarre Mexican films since the heyday of Alejandro Jodorowsky
VENGEANCE IS MINE (1979)
This much acclaimed, multi award-winning Japanese drama from 1979 can be viewed as the HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER of the seventies. It’s also, in my eyes at least, one of the most overrated films of all time
VEERANA
More Bollywood lunacy from the wonderful Ramsay Brothers. VEERANA is actually one of the Ramsay’s more accomplished efforts, a colorful and energetic swirl of vampire movie madness
ALL HALLOWS’ EVE
This was the final novel by the UK’s Charles Williams, and an excellent example of his peculiar brand of metaphysical spiritualism.
ALIENS: TRIBES
Why should we care about this novella-length ALIENS knock-off? Because it was written by Stephen R. Bissette, the famed illustrator, editor and horror movie scholar who’s made an indelible mark on the horror field.
ALIEN (Book)
Not to be confused with a certain other similarly titled account, this ALIEN involves John Mortala, an eccentric billionaire obsessed with UFOs. He devises a scheme in which he agrees to pay $1,000,000 (an amount that obviously went a lot farther back in ’77 than it does now) for physical proof of the existence of flying saucers.
THE AGONIZING RESURRECTION OF VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN AND OTHER GOTHIC TALES
One of Ligotti’s most atypical works, a short (50 page) collection of brief retellings of several iconic horror stories.
THE AGE OF INSECTS: NOT HUMAN
THE AGE OF INSECTS: NOT HUMAN tells of a species of human-insect hybrids called “brids,” led by a multi-armed freak named Darwin who wants to take over the Earth, and a band of human “Purity Troopers” looking to repel the brids.
