Oct 21, 2003Portrait of Madness
A work of considerable brilliance from a young Roman Polanski with Catherine Deneuve as a woman slipping into madness in an apartment over the course of a weekend. What makes the film particularly disturbing is Polanski's lack of a blurring line between reality and hallucination

Aug 14, 2004The Marquis de Sade's Possessed Skull
Peter Cushing-Christopher Lee vehicle from Amicus with Cushing as a collector who obtains the Marquis de Sade's possessed skull. One of the more over-rated Anglo-horror films, this feels more like an episode from one of their anthologies than a full film

Dec 5, 1999Historical Witch Persecutions
Stark and effective film based on a true-life historical figure, this sets out to depict the barbarism of the 17th century witch hunts. Vincent Price plays seriously and the film is all the more effective as a result

Dec 21, 2002Mirror-Reversed Counter-Earth
