i, monster (1971)

"The path to knowledge is always dangerous..."
Dr. Marlowe (Christopher Lee) experiments on himself and releases the pent up personality Mr. Blake. Blake enables Marlowe enact on his inner desires. What begins as an almost child like character becomes more and more bestial with each transformation. Dr Utterson (Peter Cushing) is Marlowe's friend and colleague who gradually comes to believe that Blake is a detrimental influence on Marlowe, little knowing the truth.
A thinly veiled Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, which works rather well, due mainly on the fine casting of Lee and Cushing.

murder on campus (1961)

AKA Out Of The Shadow.
"Extraordinary the things that seem to happen to you Mr Kingston."
Mark Kingston (Terence Longdon) is a journalist who sets out to find out who killed his brother a student in an Oxford college. The police believe that it was a tragic accident, but as usual in these things they are wrong and Kingston sets out to prove it.
A Winner film that is actually watchable for the right reasons! A low key, but entertaining British style crime drama.

las vegas hillbillys (1966)

AKA Country Music. Country Music, U.S.A.
"The only thing free in this world is your mothers love."
Woodrow Wilson Weatherby (Ferlin Husky), a hillbilly inherits a casino in Las Vegas and think he's hit the jackpot. That is until he sees it. Saddled with a large debt, Woodrow has to turn the casino around, and quick. Good job that he has some interesting ideas on how to do it.
Really a thinly veiled way of getting a wide variety of country music stars onto the screen. Well stars is pushing it, as I've never heard of any of them! But it does manage to cram Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren into the proceedings. Nothing to write home about, not all that interesting, funny or entertaining, but an interesting product of its time none the less.

requiem for a vampire (1971)

AKA Vierges et vampires. Caged Vampires. Caged Virgins. Crazed Virgins. Dungeon of Terror. Sex Vampires. The Crazed Vampire. Virgins and Vampires. Virgins and the Vampires.
"Cruel men and vicious women fill your heart with loathing..."
Two schoolgirls, Michelle (Mirielle d'Argent) and Marie (Marie Pierre Castel) are on the run. After a violent car chase, in which their driver is killed they find themselves at a chateau stuffed full with vampires. The Vampire leader decides to take them in and initiate them to renew the vampire race...
Another surreal French vampire film from Jean Rollin, featuring his patented technique of startling visuals and lots of skin. This time though he has mixed it with subtle (ie almost none existant) dialogue and sophoriphic pacing.

godzilla vs mechagodzilla (1974)

AKA Godzilla vs. Bionic Monster. Godzilla vs. Cosmic Monster. Gojira tai Mekagojira.
"Look at that!"
Aliens have built a mechanical version of Godzilla, in order to be able to take over the world, but they don't count on Godzilla getting a second wind and the help of some humans.
The first appearance of Mechagodzilla on film and he wastes no time in whipping Godzilla to within an inch of his life. The fights and general pacing of the film leave you breathless, as they trash the Japanese countryside. Not one with a major plot, but that's not why you watch Godzilla for after all!
Japanese, Monster, Horror, Jun Fukuda,

sacred flesh (2000)

"Mans corrupting flesh stole into her mind..."
A mother superior (Sally Tremaine) has a religious discussion with Mary Magdalene (Kristina Bill), illustrated by some
Tries to be a thesis on the madness that descended on nunneries in the middle ages, much as happened in Loudin. But comes across as an a level version of a Pete Greenaway film, all surface gloss and talk, no action!

kiss of the vampire (1963)

AKA Kiss of Evil.
"I will not say that she has not changed in any way., Mr. Harcourt. She has, as you may put it, grown up - tasted the more sophisticated, more erotic fruits of... life."
It's the turn of the century and a funeral is underway in a remote village. A mystery man (Clifford Evans) turns up and plunges a spade into the coffin, killing the vampire within...We next meet Gerald and Marianne Harcourt (Edward de Souza and Jennifer Daniel) who have to make for the deserted village hotel, when their car runs out of petrol. There they wonder why the hotel is empty, but don't have time to ponder when they are invited to Dr. Ravna's (Noel Willman) castle for dinner. Ravna and his family prove to be perfect hosts, maybe too perfect...
A fine Gothic horror, that relys on a sense of unease as it builds to its conclusion.
