DON’T LOOK NOW
One of the greatest horror movies of the 1970s, and indeed of all time: a sexy, innovative and atmospheric depiction of psychic terror
DR. LAMB
One of the most notorious films to emerge from the Category III cycle of nineties-era Hong Kong cinema
DUST DEVIL
Richard Stanley more than made good on the early promise of HARDWARE with DUST DEVIL, a veritable epic of gore and magic set in the deserts of Namibia, Africa
THE DEATHMAKER
This is one of the nastiest, most unflinching depictions of madness and murder you’ll ever experience, despite the fact that THE DEATHMAKER doesn’t contain a single act of onscreen violence
DEADLY RUN
A lackluster French thriller notable for its intriguing premise, bequeathed by Marc Behm’s stunning source novel, and an unforgettable performance by Isabelle Adjani
CURE
The artful and disturbing CURE was the breakout film by Japan’s Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and is still arguably his finest work
CURDLED
A memorably twisted black comedy from the nineties, executive produced by Quentin Tarantino and starring the shamefully underrated Angela Jones
CRIMETIME
A strikingly weird British made entry in the media satire craze of the 1990s, though not a very successful one!
THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY
This eminently readable slice of history alternates the accounts of Daniel Burnham, the director of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and Herman Mudgett, a.k.a. H.H. Holmes, the serial killer who haunted the event
KILLER INSTINCT
In the category of books about moviemaking this one for me ranks among the top of the heap
