THE WHIP AND THE BODY
One of the strangest and most interesting films made by Mario Bava, a film featuring ahead-of-its-time perversity and the type of visual brilliance for which Bava is renowned
THE HAUNTING (1963)
A G-rated horror movie? Yes, there is indeed such a thing, and it can actually work, as this 1963 classic from the late Robert Wise proves
MATANGO
This classic of Japanese horror, from the creator of the GODZILLA flicks, was a groundbreaker in its day and remains an effective piece of work
MARAT/SADE
Peter Brook’s infamous filming of Peter Weiss’ MARAT/SADE is one of the screen’s great depictions of unfettered insanity, as well as a historical drama with definite contemporary relevance
MANTIS IN LACE
Sex and psychedelia merge in this supremely silly late-sixties freak-out about an acidhead stripper on a killing rampage. It’s stupid as shit but fun nonetheless!
THE MANSTER
An American-Japanese co-production that apparently horrified an entire generation of sixties-era youngsters
VIY
An astounding Nikolai Gogol inspired achievement in old-school horror
BURN, WITCH BURN!
This intriguing 1962 horror fest, known as NIGHT OF THE EAGLE outside the US, is a justified classic, but it should be better than it is
THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE
Perhaps the ultimate head-in-a-dish movie, and there’s an excellent reason for its notoriety
BLOODY PIT OF HORROR
A far stupider-than-average Italian horror/trash fest from the mid sixties. It’s kinda fun, but don’t expect too much.
