The Giant Behemoth (1958)
Jan 18, 2001Atomically Revived Dinosaur
The director of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms essentially rehashes the same film here with another atomically revived dinosaur this time attacking London instead of New York
Jack MacGowran
Vengeance (1962)
May 3, 2001Evil Disembodied Brain
The third film version of Curt Siodmak's novel Donovan's Brain, this abandons much of the book. Not a terribly interesting effort, mostly noted as the directorial debut of Anglo-horror regular Freddie Francis
The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
Mar 9, 2001Vampire Hunter Comedy
Roman Polanski misfired with this vampire comedy intended as a spoof of Hammer Films. Beautifully produced but comedy is not Polanski's forte and the film seems to consists of much slapstick running around
How I Won the War (1967)
Mar 18, 2003WWII Absurdist Black Comedy
A World War II comedy from Richard Lester that heads into a wild absurdism, a film that is both brilliant and numbingly noisy. Most did not get the surreal blacker-than-black tone and the film was not a success
The Exorcist (1973)
Sep 24, 2000Demonic Possession
A landmark classic of the horror genre, a film whose take on demonic possession and exorcism laid down a series of tropes that are still present over five decades later. A gruelling and intensive horror story into the bargain
