The Mask of Dimitrios (1944)

You know what's great? Travel movies. The kind of film where folks move from city to city, country to country, enjoying the sights, talking with the locals, researching people they don't know, getting involved in sordid tales of crime, espionage, murder, and eventually ending the matter in a filthy, condemned apartment in Paris with a … Continue reading The Mask of Dimitrios (1944) →

Trench 11 (2017)

I don't know why, but this movie really makes me hungry for some vermicelli. I wonder why that is... It's the closing days of World War I. The Germans have mostly pulled out of the Argonne Forest as American and French forces wage the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. With the hasty German withdrawal, British intelligence discovers an … Continue reading Trench 11 (2017) →

The Last Horror Film (1982)

Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first day of the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, so I thought I'd celebrate by talking about a very particular horror movie filmed guerrilla style around the festival. Is it exploitative? Yes? Is it sleazy? Hell yes. Am I pandering? Of course. You should have figured out by now that … Continue reading The Last Horror Film (1982) →

Overlord (2018)

This movie exists like a weird hybrid of the horror in the Outpost series and occasionally the camp of the film Zone Troopers. More so the Outpost series, but who am I to complain about a Nazisploitation horror movie? It's 1944. D-Day has arrived, and the Allied forces are storming the beaches of Normandy. Unfortunately, … Continue reading Overlord (2018) →

La chute de la maison Usher (1928)

La chute de la maison Usher is a French silent film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's short story The Fall of the House of Usher. It's been years since I read the story, and of the film adaptations, the one I'm most familiar with is the Roger Corman production House of Usher, starring Vincent Price. … Continue reading La chute de la maison Usher (1928) →

Eyes Without a Face (1960)

Man, 1960 was quite the year for horror cinema. In England, you had Peeping Tom and Village of the Damned. In America, Psycho (as well as a personal favorite, House of Usher). In Italy, Black Sunday. In Japan, Jigoku. In France, Eyes Without a Face. Yes, Eyes Without a Face deserves to be here with … Continue reading Eyes Without a Face (1960) →

Devil Story (1985)

Another one for the bottom five. Devil Story makes Violent Shit look as good as Schindler's List. I'm still trying to understand this plot, so please be understanding over how odd this will sound: Some guy dressed as Peter Boyle in a Nazi uniform grunts a lot and murders people. Then a lady gets attacked … Continue reading Devil Story (1985) →
