Skullduggery (1970)
Les animaux dénaturés was written by Jean Bruller under his pseudonym Vercors and it was printed in English under the titles You Shall Know Them, The Murder of the Missing Link and Borderline. One imagines that producer Saul David and 20th Century Fox were looking for another ape-related story after the success of their last […]
Single White Female (1992)
I saw this movie on a teenage date, in a theater filled with other young people and I remember that when the scene came up when Allison (Bridget Fonda) accidentally watched Hedra (Jennifer Jason Leigh) masturbating on her bed, everyone was laughing at the awkward nature of this scene. But I think about this moment […]
Deadly Strangers (1975)
Someone has escaped Greenwood Mental Hospital, broken into someone’s home and stolen a car. And now, they’re on the loose. Could it be Stephen Slade? He has the same car as the one that has just been stolen. And why is he stalking Belle Adams (Hayley Mills!) when she heads home from the bar with […]
Diary Of An Erotic Murderess (1975)

Within a few moments of plot […]

Director […]

Witches of Blackwood (2021)
Originally titled The Unlit, Witches of Blackwood is all about a police officer named Cassie going back home to deal with the death of her father and being put on leave after witnessing the suicide of a young man.
