Wilder's Fright

 

 (imdb)

FRIGHT-1956-After psychiatrist Dr. Hamilton (Eric Fleming) helps police stop a murderer (Frank Marth) from jumping off a bridge, he meets Ann Summers (Nancy Malone; INTIMACY (1966)) who seems to have some problems. He regresses her through hypnotism where she speaks German. Then she disappears. Later he learns she was once Baroness Maria in 1889 Vienna. They wind up falling in love. The doc thinks it's a case of split personality but an annoying reporter prints the reincarnation story which causes a rift between the two lovers. Eventually, Maria takes Ann over completely and vanishes, leading the police to think she might have been murdered by the doc. To get her to come out of hiding, he convinces the murderer that he's the crown prince Maria might be looking for! 

Extreme boredom from director W. Lee Wilder, whose son Myles wrote the screenplay obviously inspired by the Bridey Murphy reincarnation case. The elder Wilder also made MANFISH the same year. Lead actor Fleming starred in QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE in 1958 and in 1959 began a long run as the trial boss on TV's “Rawhide”. TV actress Malone later was also a TV director.

Don't Look A Zombie In The Mouth If He Has A Gift For You

 

 (themoviedb.org)

THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS-2016-Some whacko who didn't like children must have come up with the premise for this UK production. A fungus has turned the human race into noisy cannibalistic zombies. Some mad scientists, led by Dr. Caldwell (Glen Close) experiment on children trying to find a cure. Later, some of them escape with a young girl, Melanie (Sennia Nanua), a 10-year-old cannibal child with a high IQ. It seems she may be heralding a new kind of human.

Screenplay writer Mike Carey adapted his own book. Director Colm Mc-Carthy worked mostly on TV in England before this.

From Finland

 

 (imdb)

THE MATCH FACTORY GIRL-1990-In Finland, lonely Iris (Kati Outinen) works a mundane factory job to support herself, her mother and stepfather who she keeps house for. She goes to dances but doesn't attract a partner. She buys a new dress but her parents disapprove. Later she meets a strange guy and they have sex. On a second date, the guy tells her he doesn't want a relationship (he thought she was a prostitute) and she should beat it. Later she finds out she's pregnant. It looks pretty bleak for Iris but then she decides to buy some rat poison….

This unconventional drama directed by Aki Aurismaki, is regarded as one of the greatest films to come out of “the land of a thousand lakes”. It's the third installment of the director's “Proletariat Trilogy”. I have to check them out some day...

Aurismaki is also known for his movies about the Finnish rock band “The Leningrad Cowboys”.

Very Cold

 

 (imdb)

COLD SKIN-2017-Interesting but ultimately disappointing Lovecraft inspired horror set on an island where a man (David Oakes) has come to be the new watchtower keeper. He meets a guy named Gruner (Ray Stevenson) who says the last keeper is dead. Strange sea creatures terrorize them. It's all downhill from there.

One Scene Boris

 


TONIGHT OR EVER-1931-Opera singer Nella Vago (Gloria Swanson), though successful, is criticized by everyone because they say she sings without passion. She becomes infatuated with Jim Fletcher (Melvin Douglas) who's a gigolo to Bianca San Giovanni (Alison Skipworth).

Corman and Cohen


 
 (imdb)



SATURDAY THE 14TH-1981-John (Richard Benjamin) and Mary (Paula Prentiss) inherit a haunted house from a recently departed uncle. 

Unfortunately, a pair of vampires want a book they have that their son (Kevin Brando) has already opened and releasing some monsters. Weird things happen. An exterminator (Mousie Garner) sends Van Helsing (Severn Darden) to get rid of their bats. Waldemar (Jeffery Tambor), the male vampire puts the bite on Mary. 

Despite the inane jokes and the deliberate bad acting, there are some violent deaths and a severed head. It may have been funny in 1981 but now it's just a dated piece of dumbness. Also with Kari Michaelsen as their daughter, Rosemary De Camp, Stacey Keach Sr., and Roberta Collins. 

Written and directed by Howard R. Cohen, who made a sequel SATURDAY THE 14TH STRIKES BACK in 1988. He worked a lot for Roger Corman. Later directing SPACE RAIDERS (1983) and DEATHSTALKER 4 (he wrote the other Deathstalker movies too).

Cheap Western

 

 (themoviedb.org)

YOUNG JESSE JAMES-1960-After evil Northern troops hang his father, Jesse James (Russ Stricklyn) wants to join the rebel army to get revenge but Quantrill (Emile Meyer) doesn't want him. His brother Frank (Robert Dix) and cousin Cole Younger (Williard Parker) don't want him there either. But Quantrill has a change of heart and sends Jesse into a town in drag. He has a problem with Zack (Rex Holman) but he saves his life. 

This misguided junk makes heroes out of scum while still showing they are cold blooded murders. They talk about revisionism today! 

Merry Anders is Belle Starr and Norman Leavitt, William Mims and Tyler McVey have small roles. Co-screenwriter Orville Hampton worked a lot with director Edward L. Cahn and later mostly did TV work. Director William F. Claxton directed many episodes of TV's “Bonanza” and later made THE NIGHT OF THE LEPUS (1972).

TV Snow Monster

 

 (themoviedb.org)

SNOW BEAST-1977-At the Rill ski lodge winter carnival owned by Emma (Sylvia Sidney), a snow monster kills a skier. Her grandson, Tony (Robert Logan) wants to report it but Emma is afraid it will hurt business. Then a ski patrol member is killed. Meanwhile, former Olympic gold medal winning skier, now disillusioned, Gar Seberg (Bo Svenson) and his unhappy reporter wife Ellen (Yvette Mimieux), Tony's former lover, come for a visit (Gar is looking for a job). Tony believes in the monster and wants to hire Gar to kill it but Gar is more sympathetic. They try to convince the sheriff (Clint Walker) that a Bigfoot is running around. The white hairy creature attacks the lodge and Ellen gets lost in the woods. Gar and Ellen get trapped in a cabin with the monster outside. The sheriff kills a bear and that seems to close the case even though everyone at the lodge saw the attack! Gar, Helen and Tony convince the sheriff to go hunting just in case. After the sheriff is killed, Gar has a snowdown, I mean showdown with the monster. 

The dumbest part of this made for TV movie is the monster POV shots including one with a ski pole. Written by Joseph Stefano (PSYCHO (1960) and directed by Herb Wallerstein who directed many TV show episodes but Snow Beast is his only full-length movie. Unfortunately, he was killed in 1985 by his live-in maid who claimed self-defense.

They're Dead. They're...All Messed Up

 

 (themoviedb.org)

THE DEAD-(2010)-Lt. Brian Murphy (Rob Freeman), an America air force engineer, is the last survivor of a plane crash in West Africa during a zombie apocalypse. He fixes up an old car and journeys across the plains. He meets AWOL army officer Daniel (Prince David Osei) who's looking for his son and doesn't understand white men. Meanwhile, the army is killing all those infected. 

I liked this because the zombies were the slow-moving traditional kind. It's very gory. The end could have been better. Directors Howard J. and Jonathan Ford made THE DEAD 2: INDIA in 2013.

Nothing New Here

 

 (themoviedb.org)

DEMONIC-2021-An idiotic cop and pompous police doctor investigate the mass murder inside a house where one guy is the only survivor. 

Meanwhile, found footage the group took is shown as the back story. They're all a bunch of assholes so who really cares why they went there. The house they visited was once the scene of another mass murder and the guy's mother was the only one who escaped. Nothing new from Neill Blomkamp, the director of the indefensible PROJECT 9.

Reformed Vampires

 

 (imdb)

SUNDOWN: THE VAMPIRE IN RETREAT-1989-A prologue tells us that a community of vampires (Purgatory) live somewhere out west, no longer drinking human blood, using sunblock and other modern devices so that someday they can live in harmony with humans. David Harrison (Jim Meltzer), his wife Sarah (Morgan Brittany) and their 2 monster loving daughters come to town to help make artificial blood for the vampires. The town is run by Mardulak (David Carradine). Meanwhile, Jefferson (John Ireland) is planning a revolt and is gathering a vampire army. Another vampire Shane (Maxwell Caulfield), a former rival of David's ìs in league with Jefferson and invents wooden bullets to kill Mardulak's followers. Another visitor is Robert Van Helsing (Bruce Campbell), who's helped by Sandy, a waitress vampire (Deborah Foreman). Of course, Mardulak is really Dracula and there's a huge shootout between the two factions as a finale. 

Dabbs Greer is a German vampire. John Hancock is the sheriff. Emmett Walsh is a gas station attendant who decapitates a punk and Bert Remsen is his brother. Buck Flower is impaled with an umbrella. 

The story is part horror parody and part serious horror and it doesn't always mesh but Carradine, Campbell & Ireland are good. “Town Without Pity” and “Earth Angel” are played over the closing credits. 

This was director Anthony Hickox's second feature (after WAXWORK in 1988). His dad, Douglas directed Vincent Price in THEATER OF BLOOD (1973).

For You My Friend, They Are The Angels of Death…

 


WHITE ZOMBIE-1932-In Haiti, a couple, Neil (John Harron) and Madeline (Madge Bellamy) are to be married in the home of Mr. Beaumont (Robert Frazer), a weird guy who's obviously obsessed with Madeline. They meet the friendly eccentric Dr. Bruner (Joseph Cawthorn) who is to marry them. While being driven to Beaumont’s plantation, they run into a bunch of guys their driver (Clarence Muse) says are zombies. Beaumont visits 'Murder” Legendre and his mill of zombie workers. He wants Madeline all to himself. Legendre suggests turning her into a zombie. Beaumont doesn't go for the idea. But Legendre has his own agenda. He casts a spell that seems to make her die. 

Poor Neil takes to drink and hallucinates. Legendre and Beaumont visit Madeline's tomb and his zombie servants (all former enemies) remove her coffin. Neil discovers the empty tomb and freaks out. Dr. Bruner explains that the zombies aren't really dead. They are just under a spell. Soon Madeline is up and about and playing the piano for Beaumont but now she's just an empty shell. Beaumont realizes his mistake and begs Legendre to return her to her living state. Instead, Legendre turns Beaumont into a zombie because he “has other plans” for Madeline. Beaumont's sneaky butler Silver (Brandon Hurst) is thrown in the water to drown (he holds his nose before being dunked). Neil & Bruner get help from witch doctor Pierre (Dan Crimmins). Neil gets to the castle but collapses. Legendre finds him and commands Madeline to stab him. 

This is a low budget but eerie independent horror film with a nice climax and Lugosi great as the smirking evil power mad villain. Makeup by Jack Pierce. Director Victor Halperin later made REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES (1936). His brother Edward was the producer.

Strangling In Germany

 

 (imdb)

STRANGLER OF BLACKMORE CASTLE-1963-Lucien Clark (Rudolph Fernau), a guy about to be knighted, is visited by a gun toting masked figure, who accuses him of murder and says he has some stolen diamonds in his possession. An arriving car scares the intruder away but he vows to be back. Clark's niece, reporter Claridge (Karin Dor; THE FACE OF FU MANCHU (1965)) comes home with Lord Blackmore (Hans Neilsen), a bird lover with a weird beard who's renting his castle to Clark. After a murder where the victim had an M carved on his forehead, two Scotland Yard detectives Mitchell (Harry Riebauer) & Watson (Gerhard Hartig) investigate while Claridge does her own snooping and a rival reporter Mike (Hans Reiser) hangs around too. Clark is involved with the diamonds. His chauffeur is decapitated while delivering some stolen loot and Clark receives the head in a wood box. His butler Anthony (Dieter Eppler) seems up to no good. The cops' big clue is the suspect has 9 fingers just like Clark…

This German production isn't bad although the climax is a little crazy. It's based on a story by Bryan Edgar Wallace. It was directed by Harald Reinl, who earlier made two films featuring the “Dr. Mabuse” character and later made the speculation film CHARIOTS OF THE GOD? (1970) and several sequels.

Chan

 

 (imdb)

CRIME STORY-1993-A police inspector Eddie Chan (Jackie Chan), who may be suffering post trauma, becomes involved in the kidnapping of a real estate magnate (Kar-Ling Law) and his ailing wife (Auyeung Pui San), planned by Detective Hung (Kent Cheng), a corrupt cop. There are some incredible stunts and sfx, especially in the finale but this is much more serious than Chan's usual serio-comedy outings. Directed by Kirk Wong (with an assist by Chan).

Goblin

 

 (imdb)

GOBLIN-2020-A goblin hiding in the basement of a newlywed couple's basement (summoned by the previous owner) kills in various extremely gory ways. The acting isn't great and there's some sound problems but at least it isn't full of itself. After the goblin is killed, zombies attack and kill the rest of the cast. The director Scott Lando directed other movies and was also a cinematographer.

Thanks for reading and Happy Mother's Day to all you mother out there!

Big Brain

 

(imdb)

THE BRAIN-1988-A woman, Vicki is attacked by some tentacles after her teddy bear has stigmata but it turns out to be an illusion. When she thinks her boyfriend is being attacked, she accidentally kills him. Then she's pushed out a window by what looks like a brain. Some moron pretend bad boy James (Tom Bresnahan) who has good grades but is a wise ass joker gets what's coming to him when he's sent to the clinic of Dr. Blake (REANIMATOR's David Gale), the host of TV's “Independent Thinking”. James' girlfriend Janet (Cyndy Preston) is pretty smart though. She doesn't want to have sex with him. Blake hooks James up to a machine that is connected to a giant brain. He sees Blake's female assistant topless and then a scary monster. Blake is using the brain to hypnotize his TV audience. When the assistant complains, the brain eats her. Meantime, James loses control of his car when a tentacle comes out of the steering wheel. He goes crazy in a fast food place and Blake's male assistant (George Buza) takes him back to the institute where he sees Blake talking to the brain which now has evil eyes and fangs! Janet and his friend Willie (Brent Pearson) break into the place to save him. Poor Willie is eaten by the brain. The assistant decapitates a cop but James & Janet get the blame. Meanwhile, the brain gets bigger and its broadcasts make a woman chainsaw her husband. The teen fugitives hide out in their high school and have sex. When Janet watches a broadcast, she turns against James. After a big car chase, he returns to the institute where its discovered Blake is an alien trying to take over the world. James & Janet confront the brain after it eats the male assistant. It seems to end happily but…?? 

Satirical low budget horror movie doesn't take itself too seriously and I think it was influenced by THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS. The James character is not much of a hero though. Filmed in Canada by Ed Hunt (STARSHIP INVASIONS).

Wise Thriller

 

 (imdb)

HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL-1951-A woman (Valentina Cortese) in a Nazi prison takes on the identity of her friend Karen who died there. She comes to America looking for her “son” Chris who is heir to a fortune. In NY, she meets Chris’ guardian Allen (Richard Basehart) who she eventually marries. They go to San Francisco and meet Chris (Gordon Gebert) and then go live in the title house where she has a problem with housekeeper Margaret (Fay Baker) who seems as though she might have a secret agenda with Allen. Especially when the brakes fail on Karen's car. She tells Allen's sort of friend, Marc (William Lundigan), she thinks Allen is trying to kill her and Chris. Or is it just in Karen's mind? 

An ironic twist ending reveals everything. Nice little thriller directed by Robert Wise who made THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL the same year.

An Hour And 5 Minutes In Hell

 

 (imdb)

SEASON IN HELL-2006-There seems to be a terrorist attack on the East coast. Two people trying to escape the mayhem stop at a house run by satanists or a blood cult. The shaky direction and optical effects are ridiculous. Women are tortured and when one of the guys tries to free a kidnapped girl, he's later dismembered.

The director has issues and probably saw HOUSE OF1000 CORPSES too many times.

Thanks for reading!

Kill The Video Camera

 

 (imdb)

KILL SYNDROME-2006-Shot on video garbage about some redneck assholes torturing a girl for a snuff movie. They kidnap others and torture them. The acting sucks of course. A movie like this (I'm not even sure if it is a movie) makes me wonder...

 Sure, some amateurs with a camera who've seen THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE too many times may have just wanted to make an extreme gore film because they thought it was cool but I'm not sure. 

The 2 directors might profit from mental health examinations.

Monster Rule Ok!

 

 (imdb)

THE MONSTER CLUB-1981-Aramis (Vincent Price), a vampire bites R. Chetwynd Hayes (John Carradine), the horror writer. Aramis then takes the writer to “The Monster Club” so he can get some ideas and The Viewers do “Monsters Rule OK”. After Aramis explains the genealogy of vampires and werewolves we get our first story in this anthology. A con artist couple have a scheme to swindle a lonely unusual looking guy Raven (James Laurenson) when the girl Angela (Barbara Kellerman) helps him catalog his collections. He creeps her out but she also feels sorry for him. Her boyfriend George (Simon Ward) wants to make a big score and when the guy proposes George wants her to marry him. Raven says he is a “shadmock” and can never whistle. He throws a costume party with his relatives. Angela is caught robbing his safe and he whistles turning her into a monstrosity much to the surprise of George when she visits him. 

BA Robertson performs. Then, vampire/film producer Limton Busotsky (Anthony Steel) shows a scene from his upcoming movie. This is the second story, a young, bullied boy wonders about the night work his father (Richard Johnson) does. His mother (Britt Ekland) says he was a nobleman in Europe. A priest (Donald Pleasence) urges the boy to discover why dad sleeps all day. The boy discovers dad is a vampire and the priest is a vampire hunter. The vampire turns the tables on his hunters in the comical finale. 

Then the band Night performs “Stripper”. The 3rd story is about a “Humgoo”. A grouchy American director (Stuart Whitman) goes to scout a shooting sight in a remote village. An old man (Patrick Magee) tells him the village is run by The Elders. The decrepit townspeople force him to stay. He meets a young girl Luna (Lesley Dunlop) who informs him that the whole village is made up of ghouls. From a diary he learns how some evil ghouls took over the village. The only place they won't go is a church, so he hides out there with Luna, who is half human. They escape but Luna is killed. He's picked up by some ghoul policemen and taken back for “the great eating”. In the end, Aramis makes a great case for allowing a “hume” in the club. Everyone dances to The Pretty Things doing the title song. 

This was the last film produced by Milton Subotsky, who in the 1970's, along with his partner Max J. Rosenberg produced many horror films under the Amicus banner. This was an independent production, however. 

The stories are based on ones written by real horror & ghost story writer R. Chetwynd Hayes who didn't like the movie or Carradine's portrayal of him (he thought the actor too old). The filmmakers had wanted Sir Christopher Lee but he turned it down. It's also the last film directed by the great Roy Ward Baker. Most folks seem to run this movie down and admittedly it's no classic, it's just a fun combo of horror, comedy and music.

Munch

 

 (imdb)

MUNCHIES-1987-An anthropologist Simon Watterman (Harvey Korman) and his son Paul (Charlie Stratton) find a strange creature in a cave in South America. They name it Arnold and bring it back to the US. While Simon and his girlfriend Cindy have sex, Watterman’s brother Cecil (also Korman) kidnaps the creature with the help of his dim-witted stepson. Arnold splits into 4 separate creatures and they drive a car, smoke pot, drink beer and use a rifle. 

Obviously inspired by GREMLINS and GHOULIES, producer Roger Corman gave this assignment to first time director Tina Hirsch because she had edited GREMLINS. Although she continued to edited movies, she directed only one more after this lame comedy rip-off.

Satire In Wolf's Clothing

 

 (imdb)

WEREWOLF OF WASHINGTON-1973-Reporter Jack Whittier (Dean Stockwell) is having an affair with Marion (Jane House), the president's daughter. He wants to break it off, so he asks his paper to transfer him to Budapest. He has a car accident and while looking for his girlfriend Giselle (Katalin Kallay), kills a wolf and is wounded in the process. It turns out he killed a gypsy woman's son, a werewolf (sound familiar?). Whittier doesn't believe the gypsy (Despo Diamantidou) when she says he will become a werewolf. He thinks it's a government plot. A police bureaucrat (Thayer David) makes them leave. Back in the US, the president hires him as press secretary. Whittier becomes a werewolf when the moon is full. His first victim is the talkative Mrs. Captree (Nancy Andrews). Then he kills a newspaper publisher. 

Michael Dunn is wasted as a mad scientist named Dr. Kiss.

It's supposed to be a horror comedy/political satire but it's not very funny. Writer-director Milton Moses Ginsberg made COMING APART with Rip Torn in 1969 but after WEREWOLF he only made a few short films
