CHRISTINE
One of John Carpenter’s all-around best films, a darkly comedic haunted car chiller that’s dated extremely well.
CHICKEN PARK
An Italian take-off on JURASSIC PARK—and my God, what a piece of shit!
WOLF
For those wondering why nineties horror generally gets such a bad rap, consider this Exhibit #1
WHITE DOG
This unreleased film is one of the late Samuel Fuller’s all-time best, a lively, entertaining and, ultimately, extremely powerful look at racism in America as seen through the attempted rehabilitation of a “White Dog”
THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN
An agreeably trashy Hong Kong production from the seventies, THE MIGHT PEKING MAN was a remake of KING KONG that’s as exploitive and ridiculous as anyone could possibly desire
MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS
An early effort from the aptly named Asylum B-movie outfit, involving a giant shark, a giant octopus and eighties teen queen Debbie Gibson. Need I say more?
BAXTER
An evil dog whose misanthropic thoughts are voiced on the soundtrack? A deranged kid obsessed with Adolph Hitler? This is by no means a perfect film, but it’s one you won’t soon forget!
EXECUTIVE KOALA
Japanese director Minoru Kawasaki’s follow-up to his cult hit THE CALAMARI WRESTLER was this goofy 2005 psycho thriller about a businessman koala bear who may or may not be a murderer
EATEN ALIVE
Director Tobe Hooper’s follow up to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, EATEN ALIVE was one of the innumerable JAWS knock-offs that flooded Hollywood in the late 1970s, the shark stand-in here being a massive crocodile to which a loony old man feeds his enemies
SNAKES ON A PLANE
Years from now this 2006 movie, and the brief phenomenon it inspired, will be looked upon as one of the most unique products of its time
