AATANK
Bollywood’s take on JAWS, a wholly ridiculous action/suspense/romance/musical/monster mash!
PIRANHA (1978)
the infamous Roger Corman produced JAWS rip that contained some heavy duty talent working behind the scenes. It’s fun, but don’t expect anything too profound
GREMLINS
You’re probably familiar with GREMLINS, one of the greatest Hollywood blockbusters of the eighties, as well as a signature film by the sometimes-great Joe Dante
LUCKY
This digitally shot dimestore epic is the none-too tender story of a lonely young man and his pet dog Lucky
LONG WEEKEND
From Australia, an almost-classic mood piece about nature turning on a young couple
TWO EVIL EYES
A dream project for longtime horror buffs, or so it seemed, this two-parter teamed George Romero and Dario Argento, each delivering an hour-long adaptation of an Edgar Allen Poe story
TAXIDERMIA
This Hungarian freak-out isn’t really a horror movie, yet I believe it will be best appreciated by horror fans
TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE
This 1990 anthology film, from George Romero’s late Laurel Entertainment, was a big screen transposition of the TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE TV series
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)
THE CORMORANT
A very good, chilly and disquieting BBC telefilm, adapted from the popular novel by Stephen Gregory and starring a young Ralph Fiennes
