JEAN ROLLIN-UARY: Jean Rollin, le rêveur égaré (2011)
The Stray Dreamer, directed and written by Damien Aimé Dupont and Yvan Pierre-Kaiser, is an attempt to tell the story of Jean Rollin and to create “the portrait of a real artist, the last surrealist, a poet who created his very own dreamworld.” The best part of this is that so much of the story […]

JEAN ROLLIN-UARY: The Mask of Madusa (2006)
It was thought that Jean Rollin’s 2007 film House of Clocks was his final film of his career, but then he made this one-hour short which was screened at the Cinémathèque de Toulouse.

Troll 2 (1990)
There’s this school of thought that Troll 2 is the worst movie ever made. Nothing could be further from the truth. It doesn’t commit the cardinal sin of a truly bad movie. At no time is it expected, boring or like anything you’ve ever seen before. It’s not a romantic comedy that you can predict from the […]
End Zone 2 (1970)
Whatever side you’re on when it comes to the controversy between whether Mikey Smash or William Mouth played Smash Mouth in the sequel to Warren Q. Harolds’ 1965 slasher End Zone, you can say quite simply that they’re both better than Snead Crump when it comes to menacing Angela Smazmoth (Julie Kane). Now that there’s a […]
