LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET
A frequently appalling, amateurish seventies sleaze fest that remains a fascinating curiosity nonetheless
LASERBLAST: The Movie
A dude finds an alien laser gun, shoots a bunch of people and blows a lot of things up. Yes, that about sums up LASERBLAST!
LA CABINA
A haunted phone booth may seem like an unlikely object of horror, but that’s precisely the status it attains in this creepy Spanish TV movie, a classic of its type
THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN
I’ll say one thing for this half-baked historical saga: it had GREAT poster art picturing a hooded figure’s upper torso silhouetted over a small Southern town, a singularly haunting image that promises everything this tawdry film fails to deliver
TOWER OF EVIL
This 1972 British splat fest can be viewed, along with Mario Bava’s TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE, as the true prototype of the modern “slasher” film
THE TODD KILLINGS
Surely one the major feel-bad movies of the Twentieth Century, THE TODD KILLINGS can be called the anti-BREAKFAST CLUB
TO THE DEVIL…A DAUGHTER
If you like Hammer films you might enjoy this 1976 production, Hammer’s final horror entry. I find it confusing and silly
TIS PITY SHE’S A WHORE
A visually fascinating but dramatically flawed Italian production from the seventies
THUNDERCRACK!
This is the legendary underground opus that interweaves Tennessee Williams-esque dialogue, hard core porn and gothic horror into a bizarre black-and-white micro epic
THRILLER–A CRUEL PICTURE
This Swedish obscurity has been called “the roughest revenge movie ever made” by no less an authority than Quentin Tarantino
