Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
TROLLHUNTER
This 2010 Norwegian import offers an impressive example of budget-lite ingenuity, and boasts some jaw-dropping special effects
TEEN WOLF
Lackluster eighties comedy stuff, patterned on I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF
ONE MAGIC CHRISTMAS
Quite simply: it’s not very magical
CHRISTMAS ON MARS
A self-proclaimed “Fantastic Film Freakout Featuring The Flaming Lips.”
THE WOLF MAN
This 1941 classic is not merely the most famous werewolf movie ever made, but also the source for much modern-day werewolf lore
SAMALIO PARDULUS
A most fascinating excavation, this long-forgotten early twentieth century gothic novella by a German poet appears here in its first-ever English version
BLACK CHRISTMAS
It’s probably wrong to criticize this book overmuch, as novelizations are by nature an extremely hasty and disreputable form of literature. It’s true that occasionally a novelization will transcend its limitations, but this one doesn’t.
THE TOWN THAT TOOK A TRIP
This paperback relic, hailing from the psychedelic era, offers a fictional extrapolation on the real-life LSD contamination chronicled in THE DAY OF ST. ANTHONY’S FIRE by John G. Fuller
THE PREMISES OF OTTO GAST
An impressively wrought exercise in surreal delirium that has yet to receive its proper due
NIGHT SKIES
His name may not appear anywhere on it, but make no mistake: Mr. Steven Spielberg was the guiding force behind this late 1970s screenplay
