assorted, dysfunctional kooks who make up the rest of the household.
The Island Of Lost Souls
1932 S. Charles Laughton, Bela Lugosi
Charles Laughton is a truly malevolent Dr. Moreau in this first, and by far
most chilling, adaptation of the H.G. Wells story.
Jack The Ripper 1988 S.
Michael Caine, Jane Seymour, Armand Assante This
handsome, three-hour television feature seems to be the most historically
accurate and best-executed portrayal of the Jack The Ripper's reign of
terror. Michael Caine plays the lead investigator as a drunkard
version of Sherlock Holmes, working under a bureaucratic yoke to ferret out
the killer from a list of colorful suspects, including a member of the royal
family. Leagues better than From Hell. (Lorimar)
The Mad Magician
1954 S. Vincent Price, Eva
Gabor Vincent Price strides
magnificently through what would otherwise be a fairly standard horror movie
of the Phantom Of The Opera genus. An under-appreciated designer of
elaborate magical tricks cremates his rivals and steals their identities to
confuse the determined authorities hot on the case.
The
Mask 1961 A
diabolical Mayan artifact falls into the hands of a psychiatrist who
unwisely deigns to use it's hallucinatory powers to unlock the secrets of
the unconscious mind. Psychedelic 3D hijinks ensue.
Night Of The Creeps
1986 Colorful comic homage to the
zombie movie, the "creeps" of the title are nasty little millipedes from
outer space that dart in through the mouth to make the host-organism into a
Romero-esque zombie inside which to breed and propagate. The great
epilogue tacked on to the end for the broadcast TV version would be ideal
for the DVD, IMO.
The Skull
1965 S. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee
A collector of diabolical curiosities, Peter Cushing finds himself driven to
obsession by his latest addition, the skull of the Marquis de Sade. (Amicus)
Sugar Hill 1974 S.
Robert Quarry The character of the title is a black
bombshell who uses voodoo to resurrect a platoon of victims of the 17th
Century slave trade as her zombie avengers. Robert Quarry plays a
local mobster, and the subject of "Sugar" Hill's wrath. (AIP)
Twins Of Evil 1971 S.
