80’s Cinema | The Bedlam Files

TEEN WOLF

Lackluster eighties comedy stuff, patterned on I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF

There was simply no one else like the Hawaiian-bred Albert Pyun, one of the most irrepressible directors working in any genre

The first book devoted entirely to the life and films of Sam Raimi

If limb chopping and head-loppings were enough to make for a quality product then PIECES would be a masterpiece, but they aren’t and it’s not

The release of BLONDE caps a long line of films about the late Norma Jeane Baker, a.k.a. Marilyn Monroe

I feel that had these scripts been filmed the face of cinema may well have been transformed irrevocably

I say yes!

One of the few movies by the late German auteur Ulli Lommel that’s of any worth, and it’s not even that good

Edgar Allan Poe, diptheria, improvisation, an unlikely road trip, slumming stars and eldorado!

A “modern tale of the macabre” that worked better in its movie adaptation: the 1981 teen comedy PRIVATE LESSONS
