The Hands of Orlac (1960)
Sep 21, 2022Possessed Hands
The third film and least version of the classic horror story about a pianist who receives hands transplanted from a murderer and is driven mad believing they are possessing him
Mel Ferrer
Blood and Roses (1960)
Jun 2, 2000Lesbian Vampire/Carmilla Adaptation
Roger Vadim conducts a very sofctore adaptation the classic vampire story Carmilla but this seems pallid and bloodless in contrast to the Hammer Films of the same period, not to mention their later adaptations of the same story
The Antichrist (1974)
Aug 20, 2014Possession and Exorcism Film
An Italian-made ripoff of The Exorcist. Probably the most lavishly produced of all Exorcist ripoffs, this soon slips into lurid shock theatrics. Star Carla Gravina should get full marks for going beyond the call of duty
The Amazing Captain Nemo (1978)
Jun 8, 1999Captain Nemo's Modern Day Adventures
TV mini-series released as a theatrical film in some parts of the world that resurrects Captain Nemo in the present-day. It is Irwin Allen returning to his tv roots where Captain Nemo’s adventures become a blatant attempt to copy Star Wars
The Great Alligator (1979)
Jun 20, 2010Giant Alligator
A belated Italian-made attempt to jump aboard the bandwagon and copy Jaws with a giant alligator hunting people on an island
The Visitor (1979)
May 4, 2003Satan is an Alien/Impregnation
Head-scratchingly strange Italian film that seems made as a crosshatch of 1970s Devil Child films and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Makes no sense in terms of story but worth watching for the bizarreness of its imagery
Nightmare City (1980)
Aug 7, 2014Italian Zombie Film
One of the numerous gore-drenched Italian zombie films of the 1980s copying George Romero's Dawn of the Dead. The film is like the kid in class who doesn't have much skill but who throws himself into what he does with wholehearted abandon
