Seems as though I have a love for low budget cinema. Only when it's done right, and this one is. The atmosphere of this movie alone will keep you glued for the entire hour and twenty-three minutes. A man by the name of J.M. comes home to find his wife having an affair. Out of one moment of anger he kills her. Of course not being able to handle what he had done, he leaves his home. He goes out to an old farm house where they had gotten married. To keep anyone from finding out his secret, he…

Jekyll and Hyde is a film that deserves acclaim because of its period flavor and its actors--Michael Caine is great in the title role. Cheryl Ladd does a credible performance as Sarah Crawford, and the late great Lionel Jeffries (his last film?) provideds excellent character support (and subtle comic relief) as Henry Jekyll's father. As a Louisiana high school educator, I show this film to students in my Psychology classes so that they may see an appropriate, graphic depiction of how easy it…

Ambiguous Bodies draws from theories of the grotesque to examine many of the strange and extraordinary creatures and phenomena in the premodern Japanese tales called setsuwa. Grotesque representations in general typically direct our attention to unfinished and unrefined things; they are marked by an earthy sense of the body and an interest in the physical. Because they have many meanings, they can both sustain and undermine authority. This book aims to make sense of grotesque representations in…

I must admit, I really enjoyed watching this movie. The story is about a couple who are traveling on the road and get attacked by some zombies. They are rescued and taken to a place which is deemed safe. What they soon start finding out is the "safe place" they were taken to is a cult led by a supposed religious man, Jeffrey. I don't want to give too much away so I will stop there. But, what I will say is there is over the top gore especially for super low budget they had. The acting…

Low budget production that has uneven acting and a clever premise that never really takes off. Satirizing how far reality/game shows will go is a promising idea, but they needed a bigger budget, better acting and special f/x and a tighter script to successfully pull it off, though there are some good moments here and there. The film starts off promisingly, but then starts to drag, taking too long to get to the slashing. Let's face it, that's what we're watching a film called Slashers…

Sophisticated to a point, this well-executed wolf-man tale works due to its clever setting and enormous star power. We all know Jack Nicholson can go nuts, but the script makes his character aware of his changes, sometimes for the better, early on. The setting, a publishing house in the middle of a takeover, gives the characters dramatic life before the horror elements kicks in. A senior editor about to get the boot, Nicholson's character becomes a new man after being bitten by a wolf. He takes…
