CBS LATE MOVIE MONTH: Just Before Dawn (1981)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Just Before Dawn was on the CBS Late Movie on October 10, 1988. Man, if all Jeff Lieberman did was make Squirm and Blue Sunshine, he’d already be way ahead of the horror game. But no, he also made this contribution to the slasher genre, which owes a major debt to Deliverance (it was called Survivance in France). […]
CBS LATE MOVIE MONTH: Night of Dark Shadows (1971)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Night of Dark Shadows was on the CBS Late Movie on June 13, 1977. After the success of 1970’s House of Dark Shadows, MGM wanted a sequel. The show was off the air and Curtis thought that this would be the perfect time to bring back Barnabas Collins, but Johnathan Frid was fearful […]
Tales from the Crypt S4 E3: On a Deadman’s Chest (1992)
Was William Friedkin actually making a joke by naming the heavy metal band in this episode Exorcist? “Don’t be cool. Greetings poison girls. Are you ready to rock and roll? Good. Then slip into your gore jacket and prepare to sing along. Can’t carry a tomb? That’s okay. I’m just playing by ear myself. Tonight’s […]

Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival: Strange Darling (2023)
Director and writer JT Mollner — working with producer and cinematographer Giovanni Ribisi, who shot this in 35mm — has created a twisty tale that is “one day in the twisted love life of a serial killer” yet also one that unfolds in the narrative technique that Tarantino used in Pulp Fiction. Read that as time […]
Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival: Possession: Kerasukan (2024)
This is a hard movie to review. Possession is one of my favorite movies of all time, a movie that I described by writing “They should attack you. They should change your consciousness. They should take your psyche like a rock tumbler and slam you against the walls over and over until you emerge better.” It […]
