Sei donne per l'assassino (1964)

...aka: Blood and Black Lace
...aka: Blutige Seide
...aka: Fashion House of Death
...aka: Six Women For the Murderer

Directed by:
Mario Bava

This great-looking horror film, along with Bava's THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH/THE EVIL EYE (1962), basically created and defined the giallo film genre as we know it. At a decadent high-style fashion house owned by chain-smoking Max Marian (Cameron Mitchell), run by fashionista Countess Cristina Como (Eva Bartok) and populated mainly by wealthy, shallow, vain, deluded and/or just plain troubled men and women, a young, drug-addicted model named Isabella is brutally murdered by a psycho dressed in a black top hat, coat and white, expressionless mask… and armed with a clawed glove. When Isabella's diary, containing information that could bury many of the principals, turns up missing, the list of possible suspects starts to decrease as the body count steadily rises. As is, the story is an uneven cookie-cutter tale of blackmail, revenge and murder, a fact not helped any if you decide to watch the dubbed version (the DVD includes a subtitled option). So instead of dwelling too much on that, focus your attention on the astonishing Technicolor photography and wonderfully clever direction. From frame one, a gorgeous night shot of the fashion house with a blood red sign and blue flashes of lightning illuminating the darkness, this is a true triumph of visual imagination. There are many memorable, boldly-colorful and brutally violent set-pieces that elevate this movie above most others in the crowded genre; a model stalked inside her apartment before being beaten, abducted and having her hand and face scalded on a red-hot furnace, a drowning/wrist slashing with the bathtub quickly filling up with blood, a POV prowling around a room full of multi-colored mannequins, disorienting shots looking into, and tilting out of, various mirrors...

It drags at times and is a bit fractured if you want to be anal about it from a writing standpoint, but really it deserves much praise for daring to move away from the confines of conventional narrative storytelling and for its huge influence on the genre. The cast includes Thomas Reiner as a police inspector, Dante DiPaolo, Franco Ressell, Luciano Pigozzi, Lea "Krugher"/Lander (from Bava's RABID DOGS) and Harriet Medin.

La cabina (1972) (TV)

... aka: Phone Box, The
... aka: Telephone Box, The

Directed by:
Antonio Mercero

I didn't have the pleasure of seeing La cabina when I was a kid, but this 35-minute short has apparently frightened many impressionable tykes over the years. First broadcast on Spanish TV in 1972, it became an overnight sensation there, and then saw new life again over the years; particularly by being broadcast on late night horror shows by the BBC, as early as 1979 (though some sources claim it was first aired in 1981). I'm not aware if this was ever shown in the US or not, and I'm not even aware if it's ever had an official release on video or DVD (there's none that I'm aware of), but it's well worth your time and is easy to find online (try youtube) if you're interested in seeing it.

LA CABINA tells the deceptively simple tale of a nameless middle-aged man (José Luis López Vázquez) who sees his son off one pleasant sunny morning and then steps inside a newly installed red phone box (located in the middle of a busy city square) to make a quick call. Once the door shuts, he finds he can't get it open. A couple of people passing by try to help him out, but no one is able to get the door to budge. The few helpers eventually turn into a virtual mob of spectators, voyeurs and would-be rescuers; sitting, watching, laughing, pointing and even pulling up chairs to see the funny sight of a man who somehow managed to become trapped inside a phone booth. Having the lead character in such a compromising, vulnerable position from which there is no escape, begins as comical, but soon escalates to irritation and discomfort as burly men and even professionals equipped to handle such problems can't even get him out of his predicament. Eventually, the company who installed the telephone box show up. Instead of finding a way to open it, they lift it into a flat bed truck and take off toward... Somewhere. To reveal any more would be unthinkable, but the ending really packs a horrific wallop.

Possibly best described as a gradually building surrealistic nightmare, this manages to provoke more thought and give more insight into what it means to live in an impersonal modern world (among several other timeless themes best explored on your own) than films three times as long. There is very little actual dialogue and what there is is in Spanish with no subtitles, but this is such strong storytelling you don't even need them. It won an International Emmy Award for Fiction in 1973, as well as several other major Spanish awards.

★★★1/2

Charlie Boy (1980)

...aka: Hammer House of Horror: Charlie Boy

Directed by:
Robert Young

*I've decided to include all thirteen episodes from the short-lived TV series "Hammer House of Horror" on this website. There are two reasons for this: 1.) Each episode runs 50 minutes and is in essence a feature (short films technically clock in at less than 45 minutes). 2.) More importantly, in the mid-1980s each episode was released separately on video by the ThrillerVideo label and was further padded with commentary from horror hostess Elvira. Since these were very well distributed titles, and in keeping with the video-store feel of the website, I felt it important to keep these titles in the database and review them all individually.*

Not-bad entry in the series; well acted, with enjoyable lead characters, some creepy scenes and a few decent plot twists. Charlie Boy refers to a black, wooden African fetish (a voodoo doll possessing supernatural powers) that's found by our hero Graham (Leigh Lawson) amongst other antiques at his recently deceased uncle's estate. Unfortunately, the property and money has to be split down the middle with his pompous, greedy brother Mark (Michael Culver). Both originally planned to invest their newfound wealth in a film production company, but Mark decides to get greedy and bail out, leaving Graham frustrated and angry. Glancing over a picture of his brother and a few others in his social circle, Graham jabs a knife into the doll and inadvertently unleashes a voodoo curse that has to run full circle before it will stop. Everyone in the picture, not just Mark, become the target of "accidental" death as the curse runs its course. Mark ends up getting impaled on a piece of farm machinery after an unfortunate horse riding accident, a film director friend suffers an on-set accident involving a crossbow, the estate maid ends up dead in a bathtub full of blood... Before long, everyone in the picture is dead except Graham and his wife Sarah (Angela Bruce), who consult an occult expert (Marius Goring) and race against time to destroy the doll (which turns up missing). Likable cast, especially Lawson and Bruce, help anchor the story.

Score: 6.5 out of 10

Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things (1972)

...aka: Revenge of the Living Dead
...aka: Things From the Dead
...aka: Zombie Graveyard
...aka: Zreaks

Directed by:
Bob Clark

High points for weirdness here in one of the first and most unique zombie flicks to follow on the heels of Romero's trend-setting 1968 classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. In this case, the style of unique will either delight and amuse or infuriate and annoy. It just depends on who you are. The characters in this one are pretty out-there, and they like to talk. A lot. A group of six self-proclaimed "jaded young deviants" (pretentious, smart-ass actors) travel to a secluded island cottage off of Miami, where extreme asshole theater director Alan (Alan Ormsby) plots to raise the dead using a "grimori" (ancient Satanic text). It starts as a joke, but the spells actually ends up working, the dead rise and attack in a NOTLD-style ambush on the house. CHILDREN doesn't have much action in the first hour. It's all talk, talk, talk... Ormsby's character consistently makes such an ass of himself and is such a jerk, you can't wait to see him bite it. His wife Anya Ormsby plays a waif-like near mute and most of the side characters (the studly actor, the spunky young actress and the pudgy, balding easy target) are equally forgettable. The most likable of the bunch is Valerie Mamches (playing Val), the one who can go toe-to-toe with Alan's consistent stream of condescending insults. Thankfully, it picks up for a strong and genuinely creepy finale, and also offers the aforementioned excellent dead-rising-from-ground sequence, an effective, foggy graveyard setting and good, scary make-up FX from star Ormsby (who also worked on the screenplay).

Filmed in Florida; it was the feature debut of Bob (credited as "Benjamin") Clark, who'd go on to make DEATHDREAM (1972), BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974) and MURDER BY DECREE (1979). Chris Martell (co-star of FLESH FEAST and SCREAM BABY SCREAM) was the production manager.

Beware! Children at Play (1989)

...aka: Goblins

Directed by:
Mik Cribben

A college professor and his young son are camping in the woods. Dad steps on a bear trap, goes crazy and dies, then the son stabs his chest, pulls out his liver and eats it. Ten years later, that same now-teen boy (Danny McClaughlin) is hiding out in the woods and kidnapping kids for his cult of "woodies," who kill and eat the adults of a small town. The kids worship the legend of Beowulf and the leader calls himself Grendel. A controversial author of the paranormal (Michael Robertson), his bitchy wife (Lori Tirgrath) and their young daughter show up to help a friendly sheriff (Rich Hamilton) cope with the disappearance of his teen daughter (Lorna Courtney), who is now part of the cult. Eventually a redneck posse is organized by a "bible thumping moron" (played by the director) to go after them. If you like to see little kids getting killed in gory ways, you've got it here. When the posse attacks, they stab, shoot, impale and dismember a whole camp of the little psychos. One even has his head blown off with a shotgun! There's also a strange rape scene involving Grendel and the sheriff's (insane) wife (Robin Lilly). The enthusiastic little kids must have had a great time dressing in ragged clothes, running around in the woods and chanting, "Gulp the blood! Gobble the flesh!" OK, this is stupid, silly and cheap, with some of the most awkward and unnatural sounding dialogue scenes I've heard, but it's still a hell of a lot more fun to watch than the overrated CHILDREN OF THE CORN.

The director had previously appeared in an acting role in NIGHTMARE IN A DAMAGED BRAIN (1981), and done production work on a variety of other films since the mid-70s, such as SQUIRM (1976), THE DEADLY SPAWN (1983) and ROBOT HOLOCAUST (1986). Jim Muro (who had directed the gory cult hit STREET TRASH in 1987) operated the steadicam and went on to do the same on big budget Hollywood films, such as TERMINATOR II and TITANIC. It was filmed in Unionville, New York under the title GOBLINS and finally released by Troma (in a fun video box that I made into a T-shirt) in 1995.

Score: 3 out of 10

Crucible of Horror (1970)

...aka: Corpse, The
...aka: Velvet House, The

Directed by:
Viktors Ritelis

A passive artist housewife (Yvonne Mitchell) and her nubile, sheltered teen daughter (Sharon Gurney) decide they’ve suffered enough at the hands of controlling, abusive husband/dad Michael Gough. They devise an elaborate scheme to get rid of him and think they do, but the corpse doesn’t seem to stay put for long. Nothing really original or special; this owes quite a bit to the French classic LES DIABOLIQUES, but Gough (whose real-life son Simon Gough plays same here) is impressively despicable and there are a few good suspense/horror sequences.

Score: 5 out of 10

Y Titles

Films are listed by their original English-language release title when available. If the film has not been officially released in the U.S. then I'll use the informal release title. If that's not an option, then I'll go with the original foreign release title. I am trying to database every horror title made between 1950 - 1990 right here and will constantly be adding more in the future so make sure to check back! A * next to a title means I have it rated and have uploaded a photo but haven't done the review yet. If you see anything missing, shoot me a message and it will be added.
