Susan Tyrrell
Wizards (1977)
May 3, 2003Post-Holocaust Sword and Sorcery/Animation
Ralph Bakshi left behind counter-culture animation to embark on this original fantasy film that comes with a trippily surreal quality, mixing fantasy tropes with a science-fictional rationalisation
Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981)
Jul 30, 2003Psycho Stepmother
Psycho film that features Susan Tyrrell giving a totally demented performance and a plot that involves some fascinatingly twisted sexuality
Forbidden Zone (1982)
Aug 12, 2011Gonzo Other-Dimensional Musical
Cultishly bizarre, deliberately offbeat and wacky film that was made as a vehicle for the band Oingo Boingo. More a film you admire for its determination to be strange than anything else
Angel (1984)
Jun 1, 1999Teenage Hooker vs a Psycho
Trashy film about a regular high school student who leads a double life as a hooker on Hollywood Boulevard who becomes targeted by a serial killer. Several sequels followed.
From a Whisper to a Scream (1987)
Jun 18, 1999Horror Anthology
One of the more underrated horror anthologies featuring an aging Vincent Price as narrator. All four stories are equally strong and venture into some pleasingly dark and grisly places
Big Top Pee-Wee (1988)
Jul 8, 2001Overgrown Adolescent's Absurdist Adventures
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure proved a quirky hit and so Pee-Wee was spun out in this sequel. This lacks the zany touch of Tim Burton in the director's chair, nevertheless has its own moments
Document of the Dead (1989)
Mar 27, 2001George A. Romero Documentary
A documentary about George Romero that was filmed during the shooting of Dawn of the Dead. Originally made as a teaching aid for a film school class before being given commercial release
Rockula (1990)
Aug 6, 2020Vampire Rock Star Comedy
Painfully unfunny vampire comedy from Cannon Films about a vampire teenager who becomes a rock star. This has one of the least credible premises I've ever seen in a film. Mostly it seems to have been conceived around placing various musicians of the day in acting roles with bizarre results
Digital Man (1995)
Jun 20, 1999Amok Android
Fairly average 90s SF/action video release about soldiers hunting an amok military android before realising the androids have also infiltrated their troupe
The Demolitionist (1996)
Jun 26, 1999Female Cyborg Cop
Nicole Eggert stars in this cheap and rather laughable copy of RoboCop, where she is a police officer killed in the line of duty who is resurrected as an avenging cyborg vigilante
