A HUNGER ARTIST
This 1982 Franz Kafka adaptation is a nicely lensed 22-minute account that really captures the story’s surreal élan
HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP
More eighties trashola from Roger Corman, with plenty of gore, slime, cheesy sea monsters, gratuitous T&A and one of the cinema’s better mutant birth scenes
THE HOUSE OF THE YELLOW CARPET
A powerfully atmospheric 1983 entry in the giallo cycle with a clever script and strong performances
THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GRAVES
Heavily surreal horror from Argentina that’s confusing and incoherent
THE HIDDEN
Irresistible horror/sci fi from 1987 that combines two eighties movie mainstays: alien invasion and police action
HERO AND THE TERROR (Film)
This 1988 Chuck Norris vehicle, released at the nadir of his stardom, represents one of Chuck’s rare attempts at real acting
HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER (Film)
Serial killer biopics are a dime a dozen these days, but in 1986 there was nothing quite like HENRY, which remains a stunner
HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD
One of the absolute goofiest of the early eighties DAWN OF THE DEAD knock-offs from Italy
The Jack Martin Books
Movie novelizations are among the most thankless forms of writing that exist

The second film directed by Oliver Stone, made before he became the Oliver Stone we know. It’s a so-so Michael Caine starrer about an errant severed hand
