1980 / USA / ** (JA Kerswell)
"
A thoroughly depressing and ultimately empty—if occasionally fascinating—exercise in 42nd Street Grindhouse psychosexual sleaze."
1969 / UK / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"
David Bowie playing a moon-crazed psycho who hacks up fellow '60s pop star Scott Walker with a curved machete? It nearly happened."
1992 / USA / ** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"
An escapee from a lunatic asylum, convinced he's a doctor, returns to his hometown and begins killing teenagers."
"Protesting Elves, a killer Santa and the shadowy potential role of a soft drink behemoth in the downfall of the most controversial holiday horror film ever made in this sometimes surreal true-life tale of festive fear ..."
1988 / France / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"
Spanish trash auteur Jess Franco’s gory—and surprisingly polished—reworking of his earlier film is an ‘80s excess with a who's who of Eurohorror."
1989 / USA / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"A woman escapes from a mental institution for the criminally insane and arrives at her adult son's house, claiming she’s come to stay."
2014 / China / ** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"This deliciously overstuffed Chinese cod-supernatural slasher throws multiple twists, each more ludicrous than the last."
1971 /USA/Sweden / **** (JA Kerswell)
"A slow-paced yet captivating locked room mystery with proto-slasher tendencies."
