Mar 30, 2013Murder Investigation/Devil Worship Cult
Difficult to find 1970s Canadian-made occult film that doesn't quite live up to expectation. Mostly it is a police procedural and the devil worship cult angle only emerges as a left field ending in the last ten minutes.; Not tight enough as a detective story to fully work

Trilogy of Terror (1975)
Rating: ★★★½
Sep 9, 2007Horror Anthology
Classic tv movie that is a horror anthology offering a trio of tales all featuring Karen Black. The first two items are okay but the one that made the film into a cult item was the third episode with Black being chased through her apartment by an evil doll

The Strange Possession of Mrs. Oliver (1977)

The Strange Possession of Mrs. Oliver (1977)
Rating: ★★
Aug 4, 2016Possessed Housewife
An The Exorcist copy made as a tv movie – where The Exorcist shocked audiences with barf bag theatrics and obscenities, this merely has Karen Black shucking her staid fashion sense and buying a sexy red dress. Rather peculiarly, this becomes a possession story as women's self-actualisation drama

Children of the Corn: The Gathering (1996)

Children of the Corn: The Gathering (1996)
Rating: ★
May 1, 2018Pagan Child Cult
The popularity of the Children of the Corn franchise - eleven films spun out of a sixteen page Stephen King story - baffles one. This is the fourth film, its greatest distinction being that it stars a then unknown Naomi Watts
