Deep Red
Considered
by many to be Dario Argento's first masterpiece. British star
David Hemmings (Blow-Up)
plays
an American jazz pianist who witnesses a brutal, bloody murder
from afar and turns detective to find the killer.
Kooky
Italian journalist Daria Nicolodi (Argento's wife and cowriter
on Suspiria) joins him as comic relief and tepid
romantic interest,
but
the real costar is Argento's high style: gliding camera,
razor-sharp editing, and gorgeous but gruesome set pieces.

The
Terror
Back
when Jack Nicholson was a
Hollywood
unknown appearing in Roger Corman quickies such as
Crybaby
Killer and Little
Shop of Horrors, it wasn't unusual for Corman to make a
movie in just a few days.
That
was the case with this nifty little thriller. Boris
Karloff plays the alleged baron of an isolated castle
on the Baltic coast,
Where
a Napoleonic officer (played by Nicholson!) appears after
becoming intrigued by the presence of a mysterious and
beautiful woman.
Karloff's
baron has a dark history, of course, and creepy atmosphere
makes up for the minimal plot, which makes The Terror a
vintage treat for horror fans

Unsane
Dario
Argento’s stylish direction adds zing to this riveting
murder mystery.
Peter Neal, a successful American writer who is just
about to leave for
Rome
to write a novel,
Is
the central character.
Can the fiction he concocted for “Tenebrae” be
turned into reality.
The movie is packed with attractive women and
well-worth watching.

Snake
People
Korbai is a
small, isolated island that remains unknown to most of the
world, but a dark evil has come to the island. The kind of
evil that is so intense,
It could
consume the entire island and after that, perhaps starts to
spread throughout the world. This is one of horror icon Boris
Karloff's final films.

Don’t
Look in the Basement
If they are
going to call it "don't look in the basement" do you
think that they could have put a basement in it? In fact I
think you see the "basement" for two seconds.
This movie just
plain sucks!

Theatre
of Blood
Theatre Blood
is a black comedy detailing one actor's revenge on a group of
critics who go too far in pretending they understand more
about an art form than the artists involved.
To reveal too
much of the plot might spoil the fun; suffice it to say that
Vincent Price plays Edward Lionheart, the actor who has
suffered once too often at the hands of heartless critics,
and who now
exacts poetic revenge on his tormentors that is as wickedly
funny as it is ingenious. Unfold, and the characters trying to
determine how to stop it from
proceeding to
its seemingly inexorable conclusion, makes for as entertaining
an hour-and-three-quarters as one can spend watching a film.

Werewolf
vs. Vampire Woman
The movie opens
with two doctors conducting an autopsy on the recently
deceased Waldemar Daninsky. They briefly run down the legend
that the villagers believed he was a werewolf,
but our
physicians don't believe this bunk. It just so happens that
this is happening on a night with a full moon. As soon as the
doctors remove the two silver bullets,
Daninsky comes
to life as a werewolf and kills them both. Shortly after, a
woman is innocently walking home through the park.
She (obviously)
becomes the werewolf's next prey for a death count of three
before the beginning credits roll.

Screamers
