THE FILMS OF RENATO POLSELLI: Casa dell’amore… la polizia interviene (1978)
I’ve been trying to work my way through the non-horror films of Polselli and they’re fine, but I was missing something, Missing women standing wide-eyed and screaming, tree branches being used for the most nefarious of reasons and strange rituals happening for no reason at all. Thankfully — after much searching through some of the […]
THE FILMS OF RENATO POLSELLI: The Sheriff Won’t Shoot (1965)
In the interview with Jay Slater that I have been referring to throughout my discussion of the films of Renato Polselli, this is mentioned as the director trying his hands at a Western: “Lo sceriffo che non spara tells of a muscular sheriff (played by Polselli regular Mickey Hargitay) who doesn’t need bullets to rid […]
CANNON CANON CATCH-UP: Lone Wolf McQuade (1983)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Nothing gives me greater joy than when our site gets mentioned on my favorite podcast, The Cannon Canon. There are a few movies they’ve covered that I haven’t, so it’s time to fix that. I have no idea why Lone Wolf McQuade hasn’t been on the site. I mean, it pits Chuck Norris as McQuade — […]
THE FILMS OF RENATO POLSELLI: Delitti a luce rossa (1996)
Directed by Pasquale Fanetti, who often worked as a cinematographer on movies like Lady Chatterley’s Passions 2: Julie’s Secret and Penombra, as well as directing Lady Emanuelle and 1990’s Top Model 2, which was written by Ernesto Gastaldi and Roberto Leoni while seemingly having nothing to do with the Joe D’Amato movies, Intimate Crimes has the traditional large Italian writing […]
CANNON CANON CATCH-UP: Above The Law (1988)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Nothing gives me greater joy than when our site gets mentioned on my favorite podcast, The Cannon Canon. There are a few movies they’ve covered that I haven’t, so it’s time to fix that. Steven Segal has barely been on our site and that’s for a reason. I don’t get it. I’ve known plenty of […]

CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Memorial Valley Massacre (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Thanks to Matthew Hale on Letterboxd, I’ve learned that there are alternate versions of this Mill Creek box set. For the sake of completeness and my obsessive compulsive disorder, here’s this missing movie. Sometimes, the right movie comes along at just the right time. This would be that movie. Today would be that […]

Shelton, Deadtime Stories was originally […]
THE FILMS OF RENATO POLSELLI: Torino centrale del vizio (1979)
Turin Headquarters of Vice also known as Lust* has Jones Brown listed as its director on some posters, but that’s a combination of Bruno Vani, who was a production manager on movies like Oscenità and Mania, and the man who made those movies, Renato Polselli. Vani also made several other films afterward, mostly adult films like Oh…Angelina!, Angelina Superporno, Dyane, Teresa altri […]
