TEOREMA
A very strange Marxist parable from Italy’s Pier Paolo Pasolini, starring the late Terence Stamp
Terence Stamp: 1938-2025
There was nobody else quite like the recently deceased Terence Stamp
AMANITA PESTILENS
This eco-horror tinged psychodrama had the distinction of being the first Canadian live-action feature to be filmed in color
Faust on Acid
The Faust legend reconfigured as avant-garde science fiction? It’s an approach that, in European hands, works far better than you might expect
HWY: AN AMERICAN PASTORAL
A film made by the late Jim Morrison that’s best viewed as exactly what it was: a preview for bigger and better things that unfortunately never arrived
THE ANIMAL (1968)
An especially intriguing trash-fest combining period-specific sexploitation with HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER-esque psycho-horror
PRIVATE PROPERTY
A “Terrible and disgusting” (so claimed JFK) 1960 indie? Perhaps, but it’s also a good one.
Robert Towne: 1934-2024
Another important showbiz death? I’m afraid so…
13 GHOSTS
Another goofy production by the incomparable William Castle, the king of movie gimmicks
Roger Corman: 1926-2024
R.I.P.
