Mosquito (Jones, 1994)

Campy B-movie
spirit with gooey models,
primitive CG.

The French Sex Murders (Merighi, 1972)

So what’s French: the sex,
the murders, or, perhaps, all
the Italians?

Nine Guests for a Crime (Baldi, 1977)

Swinging family,
mostly naked, all snuffed out
because they are jerks.

The Naked Witch (Alexander & Buchanan, 1960)

A questionable
history, stilted witching:
hillbilly Häxan.

Strip Nude for Your Killer (Bianchi, 1975)

Oh, the heady days
when giallos were little
more than softcore porn.

Naked You Die (Margheriti, 1968)

Much less nudity
than you’d think. Forget the main
character. Go, Jill!

Corpse Eaters (Passmore & Vetter, 1974)

Too much narrating
while driving and not enough
of the corpse eating.

Cake of Blood (various, 1971)

If Ingmar Bergman
were Spanish and loved tortured,
whispered narration.

The First Nudie Musical (Haggard & Kimmel, 1976)

Not all the jokes are
wieners but, with what they have,
they give their breast shot.

Clown in a Cornfield (Craig, 2025)

Don’t know manual
or rotary phones; kids these
days just won’t cut it.

Until Dawn (Sandberg, 2025)

Watching the same bland
teens die in the same bland ways
equals beige horror.

Handsome Devil (Butler, 2016)

Sweet British gay boys
in one of those feel-good tales
that turns sweet boys gay.

The Woman in the Yard (Collet-Serra, 2025)

Spooky goings-on
down at Ol' Tragedy Farm.
Pretty obvious.

Play Dead (Wittman, 1983)

Why did Rottweiler
Greta never reach slasher
icon status? Bitch.

Dogs of Hell (Keeter, 1983)

Lake Lure: home of
combustible cars, walking
parcels of dog chow.

Dogs (Brinckerhoff, 1976)

What’s causing canine
mischief? Pheromones? Hippies?
Awkward dialogue?

Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell (Harrington, 1978)

That puppy’s sparkling
eyes means that he’s the bestest
boy of the devil.

Dracula's Fiancée (Rollin, 2002)

A double-barreled
shotgun of carnivalesque
Gothic tragedy.

Two Orphan Vampires (Rollin, 1997)

Blinded by the light,
and at night, there’s only blue.
Take care, amour fou.

The Living Dead Girl (Rollin, 1982)

The dead grow human,

Fascination (Rollin, 1979)

Gorgeous French bodies
in gorgeous French gowns, for now
filled with yummy blood.

The Grapes of Death (Rollin, 1978)

Hordes of French Crazies,
drunk on tainted red wine, find
terroir in their blood.

Lips of Blood (Rollin, 1975)

Vampires wearing
diaphanous gowns almost
find a narrative.

Schoolgirl Hitchhikers (Rollin, 1973)

Rollin sans horror
is little more than softcore,
jazzy frolicking.

Requiem for a Vampire (Rollin, 1971)

Dialogue-light romp
of boobs and fangs doesn’t beat
around the bat-bush.
