Now Watching: Blood And Black Lace
A Rome fashion house is plagued by scandal, betrayal and murder. Beautiful to look at and wickedly entertaining, everyone is absolutely terrible, which makes all violent depravity very satisfying.

A teenage girl must traverse a maze to save her baby brother from the Goblin King. Wildly imaginative and very entertaining, I hadn’t seen this in ages and forgot how really great it is.

An American who interrupted a serial killer during an attempted murder becomes a target of the murderer as he tries to uncover their identity. A giallo classic, this wasn’t Argento greatest heights but it’s awfully satisfying.

Now Watching: Inferno Rosso: Joe D’Amato On The Road Of Excess
An in depth look at the producer, writer and director’s life and work thru the eyes of his friends and family. Aristide Massaccesi and his work often gets thrown in the dumpster and it’s completely unfair.

Now Watching: Springsteen: Delivery Me From Knowhere
Bruce Springsteen struggles with expectations after having the most successful album and tour of his life. Incredibly likable and deeply affecting, I was completely surprised by how much this movie sucked me in.

The most brutal death metal band in Finland must escape from prison to play a big international festival to save their guitarist’s farm. Big hearted & riotously funny, I found it impossible to not love the continued adventures of Impaled Rektum in all their absurd glory.

A twin wrongly institutionalized for the murder his brother committed escapes after ten years causing his evil sibling to go on another bloody rampage. While I’m always sad to say goodbye to Halloween that doesn’t mean the violent massacres need come to an end.

Friends going to a Halloween party run afoul of an intergalactic criminal snake that has crash landed on and driven into a homicidal frenzy by pot smoke. Wonderfully cheesy, this feels very much like the low budget late night horror schlock that inspired it.
