aka Cagliostro. Im-Ho-Tep. King of the Dead .
An exhibition to Egypt uncovers a mummy, buried alive, for some sacrilegious reason. A mummy that then disappears. Ten years later a mysterious Egyptian arrives, could it be Im-ho-tep back from the dead?
Boris Karloff is in fine, menacing form in the role of Im-ho-tep, searching for and believing he has found his lost love. Everything in this film is set to a slow poetic pace which lends a dream like quality to this fine film.
A man covered in bandages turns up at a small village pub asking for lodgings. He soon starts to make trouble and when the police try to arrest him he sheds his cloths to reveal he is invisible.
A great re-working of the H G Wells classic, with fantastic effects, especially for the period. A must see film for all Sci-fi and horror fans.
aka Die Wespenfrau. La Donna vespa. Insect Woman. La Mujer avispa. La Mujer insecto. The Bee Girl.
Janice Starlin (Susan Cabot) owns a cosmetic factory and is concerned about dropping sales. To re-dress this she hires a scientist who is researching with wasp enzymes to makes animals younger and she becomes his human subject. But she soon starts noticing side effects.
Another Corman low budget quicky that never outstays its welcome and there's enough to keep you interested in the outcome.
Eric Porter is a Dr who discovers violent tendencies in a young girl and takes her on as a patient. He comes to believe her possessed by her dead father's spirit, that compels her to kill. Angharad Rees stars as the daughter of someone with a peculiar talent in murder, Jack the Ripper, and who may have taken up fathers hobby.
An often overlooked Hammer, that slowly delves into the psychology of killing, but none the less manages to pack a few shocks along the way. A Pygmalian for the slasher generation that deserves a look.
Though based on a true story, this is an entirely fictitious account of Ma Baker and her boys. It's believed that Ma Baker had no actual involvement in the Barker-Karpis gang. This not withstanding, the film rattles along in fine style as she and her boys go from small time delinquents to FBI's most wanted. Along the way the boys develop virtually every deviancy known to man, or woman for that matter. All interspirsed with archive of the period, commented on by Ma herself, as she looks after her boys and all their needs! A low budget, but compelling film, just don't believe a word of it!
