EXTREMITIES
This misconceived 1986 film, an upscale rape-revenge fantasy, is best remembered nowadays as one of several attempts by the late Farrah Fawcett to establish herself as a serious actress
EVILSPEAK
As a longtime Clint Howard fan I’ll always have a soft spot for EVILSPEAK, which marked Clint’s first-ever starring role—even if it is extremely dated and overall quite dumb
EVIL DEAD 2
A film as influential to the horror genre as any of the biggies (DRACULA, THE EXORCIST, etc.), Sam Raimi’s EVIL DEAD II: DEAD BY DAWN introduced a near-revolutionary mix of slapstick and horror
ETOILE
A lame ballet-centered horror flick that was mercifully forgotten until the release of BLACK SWAN, with which it shares quite a few similarities
EPIDEMIC
Denmark’s Lars Von Trier has made some wonderful films in the horror genre (THE KINGDOM, ANTICHRIST), but EPIDEMIC, his first such effort, is not among them
ELVES
Ludicrous straight-to-video anti-Christmas trash from the eighties! ELVES is popular with bad movie buffs, but don’t expect much
EL AMOR BRUJO
Flamenco dancing takes center stage in this musical extravaganza from Spain’s Carlos Saura. All told it’s an impressively stylized work that interweaves authentic Gypsy folklore with song, dance and a fairly potent ghost story
EATING RAOUL
This is the most famous movie directed by the late Paul Bartel, a highly successful indie black comedy about sex, murder and cannibalism
SUPER XUXA VERSUS SATAN
The Brazilian kid show hostess Xuxa is the headliner of his beyond-ridiculous, utterly inappropriate kids’ film whose title adequately sums up its so-called charms
STREET TRASH
Another eighties-era gorefest that adds up to very little conceptually but excels in manic inspiration. It’s about bums who get a hold of flesh-melting hooch—plenty of grue ensues!
