Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
THE BLIND OWL (Film)
A signature film by the ever-eccentric Raul Ruiz, who was here adapting Sadegh Hedayat’s Iranian classic THE BLIND OWL
BLIND BEAST VS. KILLER DWARF
The unfortunate final feature of Japan’s Teruo Ishii. A shot on video no-budgeter, it’s an uninspired and amateurish product not befitting one of Japan’s most prominent cult auteurs
THE BLIND BEAST (Film)
A wildly fetishistic, claustrophobic Japanese production made in 1968, THE BLIND BEAST (a.k.a. MOJU) is profoundly bizarre
A BLADE IN THE DARK
Lamberto Bava appears to have been channeling his mentors Mario Bava and Dario Argento (both of whom he previously worked for as an assistant director) in this unremarkable 1983 giallo
BLACK WIDOW
A silly eighties thriller with occasional flashes of interest, courtesy of actress Theresa Russell—but flashes are all we get
THIS GHOSTING TIDE
I’m not a huge fan of the British horrormeister Simon Clark, although he has a fairly substantial following. Clark’s fans will likely appreciate this novella, even though I’m lukewarm on it
THIRTY DAYS OF NIGHT
Please understand: I like this heavily influential, award-winning graphic novel a fair amount, but don’t love it
THE THING
A novelization of John Carpenter’s 1982 classic THE THING by the prolific Alan Dean Foster (who also novelized DARK STAR, ALIEN and—pseudonymously—STAR WARS)
THEY THIRST
In this early novel Robert McCammon accomplished something he’d repeat six years later in SWAN SONG: he outdid Stephen King. Just as SWAN SONG outdid Stephen King’s THE STAND, THEY THIRST betters King’s SALEM’S LOT
THERE IS A SERPENT IN EDEN
A Robert Bloch novel that could well have shared the title of a previous Bloch publication: AMERICAN GOTHIC
