Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
THE BEYOND
The undoubted masterpiece of Lucio Fulci, a crazed and surreal gorefest that’s irresistible, even if it doesn’t make much sense
BEWARE! CHILDREN AT PLAY
A Troma sponsored no-budgeter worth viewing for its stunningly demented opening—a kid’s dad dies after getting caught in a bear trap and the tyke responds by cutting open the elder’s belly and happily removing his organs!—and closing sequences
BENEATH
A quirky sea monster splatter fest from director Larry Fessenden that’s not nearly as terrible as its early reception suggests, although it’s still far from Fessenden’s best work
BELLADONNA OF SADNESS
There’s never been an anime feature quite like this psychedelic extravaganza. Inspired by some of the darker aspects of European history, it’s a hypnotic and perverse spectacle, and an absolute must see
A BELL FROM HELL
A vaguely surreal, darkly comic and deeply shocking exercise in Euro-styled anti-bourgeoisie subversion, the Spanish production A BELL FROM HELL is a one-of-a-kind gem
SKETCHING EVIL
My preference for weirdness and transgression is well known, but in an effort at broadening my horizons I decided to give a paperback original called SKETCHING EVIL a try
SKORPIO
A nifty chunk of no-nonsense horror by a longtime comic book scribe
SLADE HOUSE
An unabashed horror novel by a mainstream literary darling that proves non-genre affiliated writers can bring a unique and vital energy that sets their work apart from those of career horror scribes
THE SLIME BEAST
This potboiler is often cited as one of Guy N. Smith’s “best” books
THE SNAIL ON THE SLOPE
I’ll confess I didn’t think much of this, the most controversial—and, some claim, greatest—novel by Russia’s Boris and Arkady Strugatsky
