Dracula A.D. 1972 [1972] 1. “Com’on Jess, it’s only for a giggle.” 2. A truly great edit: tilt up from a gravestone in 1872 to the sky, in which a jet plane suddenly appears. 3. Bubbling blood and ashes in … Continue reading
3 things about Rusty Cundieff & Darin Scott’s TALES FROM THE HOOD 2
Tales from the Hood 2 [2018] 1. His name is Portifoy Simms … a nod to Ossie Davis in the pilot episode of Night Gallery? 2. Cards Against Humanity does not translate well to film. 3. A fleet of Klan … Continue reading

3 things about Nobuo Nakagawa’s JIGOKU
Jigoku [1960] 1. Low angle long take: burlesque cocktail waitress plies her trade. 2. An endless vista of stones. 3. Needle hell. This movie is bats. And it’s from 1960! I’ve never seen anything like it.
