Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
ZAPPED!
A middling product of the gross-out teen movie explosion of the early 1980s
CENSOR
Worthy of attention due to its subject matter: the “Video Nasties” craze that gripped Britain in the 1980s
THE AMAZING TRANSPLANT
Said to be the most outrageous film ever made by the 42nd Street legend Doris Wishman
THE COMPANY OF WOLVES
A highly elliptical affair that mixes outright surrealism with traditional horror movie trappings
UNDERGODS
“Sorry BLADE RUNNER, but you have been usurped”…? Not quite!
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, which is not to be confused with other better-known accounts bearing that title, is apparently quite revered in its native land, where it’s regularly read to children on Christmas Eve.
THE NEW NEIGHBOR
Certainly THE NEW NEIGHBOR showcases nearly all its author’s strengths…and, yes, a few of his weaknesses.
THE NEW DEAD

NEGATIVES
Another novel that falls into the interesting-but-not-entirely-successful category.
