The Bloodhound (2020)
Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher has been filmed several times, most famously in 1960 by Roger Corman and 2002 by Ken Russell. Curtis Harrington was a huge fan of the story, shooting a ten minute version in 1942 and a 36 minute take in 2002 with both starring himself as […]
The Astrology of Pandemics (2021)
I love getting movies to review, because so many of them are films I’d never watch on my own. Case in point, this movie, which describes why the COVID-19 pandemic occurred based on astrological charts. Even if you don’t know a thing about astrology — I don’t — you’ll learn a fair amount in this […]

Because we love Susan Tyrrell! In East Texas, young lovers Jack (Matt Dillon) and Ginny (Cindy Fisher, who […]
THE EXCITING EIGHTIES: The Lady and the Highwayman (1989)
Barbara Cartland’s romance novel Cupid Rides Pillion was filmed as this British TV movie, one of the first appearances by Hugh Grant, who appears alongside a pretty solid cast that includes Oliver Reed (once a werewolf, once a diver out of a mansion window in Burnt Offerings), Claire Bloom (Clash of the Titans), Michael York (who […]
