Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
THE BABY
This early seventies sickie is a real curiosity: an exploitation movie about a grown man raised as an infant. A neglected classic? Hardly, but the film is an intriguing piece of work
EYES OF FIRE
This Missouri lensed no-budgeter from the eighties is real oddity: a hallucinatory horror movie set in Colonial America
EXTREMITIES
This misconceived 1986 film, an upscale rape-revenge fantasy, is best remembered nowadays as one of several attempts by the late Farrah Fawcett to establish herself as a serious actress
EXPULSION OF THE DEVIL
Quite a few haunted house clichés are utilized in this slow moving French-made effort by Juan Luis Bunuel. A seeming inspiration on POLTERGEIST, the film has a few good things, but not enough to make for a worthwhile product.
EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC
A true bad movie classic! A nominal sequel to THE EXORCIST, this is a staggeringly ambitious, globe-spanning vision of ancient evil and redemption that’s also colossally misguided.
THE SUCKING PIT
This novel has the distinction of being one of the most widely criticized yet least read books of all time
SUPER FETUS
After TEENAGE TIMEBERWOLVES, this novella gets my vote for the sickest publication of 2009
