TALES FROM THE QUADEAD ZONE

A 3-part anthology flick from crap movie auteur Chester N. Turner, which given his pedigree is every bit as astoundingly horrible as you might expect

DOLLS

This isn’t one of Stuart Gordon’s better films, but it does contain some very enjoyable moving doll effects

DON’T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS

British-made silliness with a novel twist on the Yuletide slasher formula: this time it’s not a mad Santa Claus on a killing spree but guys dressed as Santa who bear the brunt of the abuse

DR. JEKYLL AND HIS WOMEN

The late Walerian Borowczyk’s highly idiosyncratic take on DR. JEKLL AND MR. HYDE, a profoundly eerie and poetic film that may be Borowczyk’s masterpiece

RIVER’S EDGE

A good film, but overrated, RIVER’S EDGE, loosely based on a true story, is one of the most popular of the teens-from-Hell films of the eighties, and features quite a few then-upcoming stars

RED AND ROSY

This ultra-kinetic sensory assault is a one-of-a-kind achievement, and certainly the only drag racing monster movie you’ll ever need to see

RATS–NIGHT OF TERROR

Italian trashola from 1983 that sees sleaze maven Bruno Mattei, a.k.a. Vincent Dawn, take on the popular post-nuke genre with a dash of WILLARD (in the form of mutant rats)

RAT MAN

This Italian slasher movie sucks, but is notable for the title character, an undersized mutant played by Nelson de la Rosa, a.k.a. the World’s Smallest Man
