THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 18: Triangle (2009)
18. A Death March Horror Film (a group of people go on a trip and slowly get killed one by one, but keep moving). I had no idea what to expect out of this movie. The poster gave me The Town That Dreaded Sundown vibes and that’s never a bad thing. Yet for some reason, I […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 17: We’re Going to Eat You (1980)
17. A Horror Film From the Hong Kong New Wave(1979-1984). Did Italian horror cinema have an influence on director Tsui Hark? Well, between the title of this movie — which comes from the tagline for Zombie — and the fact that it stole its soundtrack from Suspiria, I would say yes. There’s also a fair bit taken […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE 19: The Last Horror Film (1982)
16. A Horror Film Featuring Caroline Munro. The Last Horror Movie reunites those wacky lovebirds Joe Spinell and Caroline Munro from Starcrash and Maniac and makes another appearance for Joe on the video nasty section 3 list. Director David Winters was one of the few stage actors and dancers in West Side Story to be in the film […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE 15: Premutos: The Fallen Angel (1997)
15. A Horror Film With Special Effects by Olaf Ittenbach. Olaf Ittenbach is something else. I mean, if you thought Black Past or The Burning Moon was all he was going to do, this movie takes those movies and blows them away. Premutos is the first of the fallen, predating Lucifer, and his son has been preparing the world […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE 14: The Nest (1988)
14. A Horror Film About Insects (No Bigger Than Humans) Directed by Terence H. Winkless and written by Robert King — and based on the novel by Eli Cantor — The Nest has a great poster going for it. I stared at it in the video store for the longest time and now, decades later, I’ve […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE 13: Carnival of Blood (1970)
13. A Horror Film That Takes Place at a Fair, Carnival or Amusement Park. Leonard Kirtman mostly directed adult, churning out titles like The Seduction of Cindy, Up Desiree Lane and Confessions of a Candy Striper, often using the name Leon Gucci. This is one of the few movies he made without penetration yet it has all the […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE 12: The Stone Tape (1972)
12. A Horror Film Written by Nigel Keale. Nigel Keale exists at the center of two lines, between horror and science fiction, finding ancient evil with modern technology, placing learned men in the howling maw of ancient occult terror. Also: this movie has informed so much of my own theories on hauntings. We aren’t seeing […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE 11: Sick Nurses (2007)
11. A Thai Horror Film. Life is cheap and Dr. Tar and his seven nurses have been sellingbodies on the black market, a scam that just might fall apart when he has an affair on one of the nurses with her sister. That girl, Tahwaan, tries to call the cops and gets killed by the […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE 10: The Pink Chiquitas (1987)
10. A Horror Film Scored by Paul Zaza. Frank Stallone as Tony Mareda Jr., a former Olympic athelete and now a detective who fights with the mob the whole way to a drive-in located in Beamsville that soon has a meteor crash down and transform all of the women in sex-obsessed maniacs. Soon, Tony and […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE 9: Furious Road (2014)
9. A Film Directed by Jeff Leroy. With movies named Rat Scratch Fever, Frankenstein in a Women’ Prison and Giantess Attack, Jeff Leroy knows that some of the battle is fought when you name your movie. Also known as Grand Auto Theft: L.A. — a title that is pretty good you know? — this takes a Mad Max-style name to tell […]
