Creature Cabin (2017)
This was originally called Tarnation, which may be a better title. That said, I really dug Oscar’s (Daisy Masterman, MurderDrome) story, as she must get over the loss of her man, her job and her cat by going to a cabin in the, well, woods to work out her life. Too bad there’s a demon unique out […]
Karateci Kız (1973)
Zeynep (Filiz Akın, who starred in 116 movies in just over thirteen years and even survived being stabbed in the leg by an obsessed fan — she even went on stage to perform that same night!) is a mute girl content to be a florist with her father. They’ve been saving money for an operation that […]
Kadın Düşmanı (1967)
With a name like Woman Despiser, you know that you’re entering the world of the giallo.

The amazing thing is that this film comes from 1967, before Argento reinvented the form, so it really is […]
Tarkan: Altin Madalyon (1973)

Tarkan was orphaned by Iranian nomads and raised by wild grey wolves. He travels with Kurt, a wolf, as he […]
Vahsi Kan (1983)
The team of Çetin Inanç and Cüneyt Arkin create movies that make my head hurt so badly in the best of ways. Wild Blood, known by some as Turkish Rambo, is a movie that will own you. Buckle up, get your motion sickness pills and leave your ideas of what makes a good or bad movie behind […]
Baskin (2015)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Roger Braden runs the Facebook group Valley Nightmares, which is all about the history of the films that played at the drive-ins and theaters in his home state of Kentucky. He’s a great guy and I’m excited to read his take on this movie. Originally a short film that impressed, creator Can Evrenol […]
