Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
THE BEGUILED (1970)
A macabre Civil War set study of repression and murder from the seventies, echoing the works of writers like Poe, Tennessee Williams and Ambrose Bierce, and starring…CLINT EASTWOOD?!?
BEGOTTEN
A profoundly repellant yet strangely lyrical and poetic cinemutation, BEGOTTEN is a wordless black and white reverie in which God kills himself and begets Mother Earth, who in turn begets Mankind, who in turn endures all manner of abuse
BEDEVILLED
A solid Korean revenge blowout with a feminist slant. Sure, it could be stronger in many respects, but satisfies as a gory drama (I would say gory thriller but that would be inaccurate).
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1978)
This Czech take on Beauty and the Beast really brings forth the gloom and darkness of the original fairy tale
BEATRICE
The Age of Chivalry gets a thorough trashing in this bleak period piece from France’s Bertrand Tavernier, who was evidently obsessed with making BEATRICE as grim as possible
SWAY
The sixties get a fresh re-imagining in this lyrical and disquieting novel, which focuses on the final year of that decade, when the idealism that had fueled the counterculture over the previous nine years came to an abrupt end
THE SNAKE ORCHARDS
This relic from the “nasties” school of horror writing will always be important in my life due to the fact that back in the eighties it was one of the first grown-up horror novels I read. I was drawn, as I recall, by that eye-catching cover image, which remains quite striking
SON OF THE ENDLESS NIGHT
Horror epics were something of a novelty back in 1984. One of the rare examples of such was SON OF THE ENDLESS NIGHT by John Farris, a 500-plus page account of demonic possession with a twist
SON OF THE GUN
SON OF THE GUN is among the absolute finest of Jodorowsky’s comic work
SONGS FOR THE LOST
A most fascinating and evocative collection of hallucinatory fiction by an irrepressible talent
