Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
SUPER XUXA VERSUS SATAN
The Brazilian kid show hostess Xuxa is the headliner of his beyond-ridiculous, utterly inappropriate kids’ film whose title adequately sums up its so-called charms
SUMMER OF SAM
From Spike Lee, a wildly overbaked yet vital account of the seventies-era “Son of Sam” killings. The film has much to say about the effects of fear and paranoia, none of it comforting
SUICIDE CULT
This ultra-obscure train wreck of a movie is a colossal embarrassment, but it is undeniably fascinating to watch the film’s hideously confused storyline—which somehow mixes astrology, mass suicide, CIA intrigue, mind control and the Second Coming—unfold
SUICIDE CIRCLE
This Japanese shocker has a compelling first hour that seems to portend great things…which makes it all the more frustrating when SUICIDE CIRCLE loses its hold in the final half hour
THE SUBSTITUTE (2008)
A fun movie about an alien teacher, courtesy of NIGHTWATCH’S Ole Bornedal. There’s nothing too profound here, but the film is skilled and enjoyable
PRISONER 489
A nifty exercise in old school horror by the inimitable Joe R. Lansdale
THE PRESERVE
This tough, gore-packed blow-out combines breakneck action with unflinching horror
THE POWER
CARRIE, SCANNERS and quite a few other psychic horror fests are prefigured in this novel, the first by the famed pulp novelist Frank M. Robinson
PORTRAIT OF AN ENGLISHMAN IN HIS CHATEAU
A profoundly vile piece of work that I’ve long wanted to read. L’ANGLAIS DECRIT DANS LE CHATEAU FERME was initially published in Paris (under the pseudonym Pierre Morion) back in 1953, and then banned for over 25 years
POISONING EROS
A reading experience as nasty and cathartic as any you’ll have
