TARGETS
One of the most stunning horror films of the 1960s, and one of the finest movies ever directed by Peter Bogdonovich
REPULSION
One of the most influential horror movies of all time and a key film by Roman Polanski, REPULSION is a justified classic
REPTILICUS
Some movies are just too stupid to be ignored. Case in point: REPTILCUS, Denmark’s answer to GODZILLA, and a deeply, profoundly, unbelievably stupid movie
THE REPTILE
Crummy Hammer horror from 1966. It’s dull and derivative, coming to life only on those occasions when the title creature makes its appearance, and then only fitfully
RAT PFINK A BOO BOO
Take three murderous scumbags, two cut-rate superheroes, several rock and roll music numbers, some dumb-assed slapstick, a seemingly never-ending chase through the streets of LA, a guy in a cheesy gorilla suit and a final showdown in Topanga Canyon (whose scenery the director couldn’t resist) and you’ve got RAT PFINK A BOO BOO
SPLATTER MOVIES
Apparently the most authoritative overview of the splatter movie phenomenon ever published—or so I’ve been told
DEMENTIA 13
It’s an article of faith among many film buffs that the top filmmakers of the so-called movie brat generation (Scorsese, Spielberg, Lucas, etc) all had “monumental” debuts
DEATH LAID AN EGG
Here’s one for fans of late sixties cinematic self-indulgence, of which this film stands as a particularly outrageous example
A DAY WITH THE BOYS
Made back in 1969 by the veteran character actor Clu Gulager, A DAY WITH THE BOYS packs a punch that time has not diluted; it is, quite simply, one of the most powerful short films I’ve seen in some time
THE CUBE
A fascinating made-for-TV experiment by the late Jim Henson, proving his talents extended far beyond the Muppets
