CBS LATE MOVIE: The Woman Who Wouldn’t Die (1965)
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Woman Who Wouldn’t Die was on the CBS Late Movie on March 12 and June 16, 1975. Killing your spouse is a plot as old as plots themselves and an astonishingly foolish choice in real life. But whether it’s for cash, misplaced rage or sheer stupidity, characters on screen keep right on trying. While it’s […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Sexus (1965)
A wealthy heiress (Virginie Solenn) is abducted and held hostage in an isolated hideout while her affluent father scrambles to pull together a massive ransom.

After flipping the bird to the Shaw Brothers assembly line in Hong Kong to set up his own Grand Motion Picture Company in Taiwan, director Li Han-hsiang decided his opening statement shouldn’t just compete with his former bosses. It should make Hollywood’s bloated historical epics look like a local high school theater production. The result? […]
The Embalmer (1965)
Il mostro di Venezia (The Monster of Venice) is at once a giallo and an Italian Gothic; it’s a movie that, when I started watching, I immediately knew was meant for me. A skull-masked serial killer is swimming the canals of Venice, where he takes women, drowns them and then embalms their bodies so that […]
Repulsion (1965)
Roman Polanski’s first English-language film, this is part of his “Apartment Trilogy”, followed by Rosemary’s Baby and The Tenant.

WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (1965)
I hate when people make lists of the worst movies ever made, because stuff like this always ends up on it. Whether you see it as this title or as Duel of the Space Monsters, Frankenstein Meets the Space Men, Mars Attacks Puerto Rico, Mars Invades Puerto Rico or Operation San Juan, you’re going to see something […]
