I read some terrible reviews, and after watching the film, I don't quite understand why. Aside from fans complaining about the PG-13 rating or the fact that the monster appears rather late, the film h...

More than five years after opening his massage therapy clinic in Puerto del Carmen, Francis Barbier-Martins looks back at the very different paths, passions and experiences that eventually brought him...

The Vinegar Syndrome 4K release blows every other edition out of the water in terms of bonus content—not to mention the splendid print, which casts the film in a whole new light compared to other form...

I re-re-watched but this time the uncut Japanese version - only available on the Australian Blu ray. It is splendidly effective, making truly sublime use of the widescreen format and maintaining tense...

A real curio, almost an anomaly in the work of Sergio Gobbi, who is frankly not an author I particularly appreciate. He's less heavy-handed than usual, perhaps also due to the source material he's dra...

Having just watched the mediocre Oak Street, seeing this B-movie was a breath of fresh air. I hadn't read anything about it, and thankfully so. don't watch the trailer either.Luckily, I watched it aft...

First of all : Carole Kane is God. Office Killer has been branded at the time as an "arty horror movie: It is SO much than that. Carol Kane—whom I adore—is a demure Dorine, devoted to her work as an e...

Many people only think about massage when pain becomes impossible to ignore. Increasingly, however, regular massage is being seen as a practical way to support movement, recovery and long-term wellbei...

Breathtakingly beautiful and weird. The 4K Powerhouse/Indicator is just magnificent. The precision of the details, the explosion of colors, the chiaroscuro, the depth of the blacks—all of which makes ...

Suzzanna possesses a magnetic presence, somewhere between a grieving victim and a goddess of vengeance. Sudjio knows how to showcase her perfectly, with a certain mastery in his use of the Scope forma...

Weird mix between early Giallo and late Italian horror gothic tale. It follows the economic model of many Italian Gothic films: shooting in a virtually single location - here the Balsorano Castle wher...

El Cheapo DethO. 80 long mn of trying to bring new vibe to an old rehashed story. This is bottom of the barrel, as the movie did not even get some decent post production. Being a non-union movie, Thom...

Cute, but overlong - with romance tropes that have already been there - done that.  Too bad is predictable and overstays its welcome. Should have stayed a serie.

The director of *lThe Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism* and The Night of the Devils teamed up with screenwriter Giorgio Stegani—writer of Blood for a Silver Dollar and co-writer of Cannibal Holocaust—to ...

It is hard to emerge unscathed from watching this film. You can sense the ending coming; I didn't want it to take that turn, yet—on the edge of my seat—I witnessed something of tragic beauty, deeply p...

Ghosts or no Ghosts? No spoiler here, as GIOIA MIA Unfolds its narrative layers, you’ll know what really happens in the apartment above the great aunt Gela that welcomed young Nico for a Sicilian summ...

Most people would never ignore routine servicing for their vehicle. Yet many wait until pain becomes unavoidable before giving the same attention to their own bodies.

I do not get the positive reviews.  It’s bland, inoffensive, predictable with no proper rythm. It erases sexuality on every level (the gay one, of course). Amblin forbids drag queens to have a sex lif...

As his tenure as President of Italy nears its end, Mariano De Santis faces wrenching decisions-both political and deeply personal. Amid these moral quandaries, he must confront his own conscience and ...

Dr Mabuse is back. Or is he? Shot in May 1962, just after the release of the third episode, producer Brauner fulfilled his wish to remake the 1932 version, which Lang had refused in 1960. He rehired s...

Kongsploitation. Ouch. That hurts. Clearly, the project falls into the Kongsploitation genre, just like Queen Kong, A:P:E, or Mighty Peking Man. It's a very curious one, and I wonder who the film was ...

Knowing that Lumet was able to impose a nearly three-hour runtime on this adaptation of true events, getting rid of the screenwriter and the project originally intended for De Palma, is quite astonish...
