THE WARRIOR
A totally crazed martial arts fantasy, THE WARRIOR isn’t “good” by any means, but as surreal thrill-a-minute entertainment it’s hard to beat
WARLOCK
Far dumber than average eighties horror. It has some fun elements but has dated extremely poorly, and anyway isn’t at all scary
MYSTICS IN BALI
Those wanting craziness will be amply rewarded by this Indonesian import centered on Eastern mysticism, in particular the mythology-based figure of a malevolent flying head with dangling entrails. Yes, it’s that kind of movie!
MUTANT
Dumber-than-average eighties horror, a testament to the never-waning influence of George Romero’s DAWN OF THE DEAD—but keep in mind that comparing the two films is giving MUTANT way too much credit!
THE MUSIC OF ERICH ZANN
Easily the BEST EVER short film to be adapted from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, THE MUSIC OF ERICH ZANN is a small classic from 1980 that fully retains the haunting aura of Lovecraft’s incomparable story of the same name
MURDER ONE
A solid fact-based account of mass murder, thoughtful and naturalistic enough to satisfy true crime buffs while still bloody enough to sate most gore hounds
MOONCHILD (1989)
Spain’s Augusti Villaronga followed up his fearsome masterpiece IN A GLASS CAGE with this highly ambitious mystical fantasy
THE MONSTER SQUAD
1987 action-horror aimed at a kid audience. My verdict: it’s fun, especially if you’re an eighties movie maven like me.
MIRACLE MILE
MIRACLE MILE may not actually fall under the category of horror, but it is one of the scariest movies ever made
MIDNIGHT HEAT
The most famous of the handful of porno features made by the late Roger Watkins, and fairly impressive in its way, but be forewarned: it’s a profoundly dark film in every sense of the word
