I must admit, this one has me conflicted. Based on Sidney Kingsley’s Broadway play of the same name, William’s Wyler’s adaptation of Detective Story deals with a handful of rather outdated themes that are explored in the most melodramatic fashion that makes modern-day eyes roll. But on the ...

The 1980s is now decades behind us and I consider myself fortunate to have been a Gen X-er, having my formative years during that decade. It produced, in my view, the most creativity and risk taking of any decade of filmmaking. There are classics galore from that time because of those ...

“But I am in love with her, Your Highness! I feel terrible.” Ah, yes! A classic case of the lonely heart butler being mistaken for a prince by a beautiful, young countess. What could go wrong? ...

The crazy clown mayhem of All Hallows Eve continues! Writer/Director Damien Leone knows how to commit to horror. I mean, without even batting an eye he serves up a whole platter of gore-iffic deserts, and sure, no one asked for them, but he definitely delivers on the special effects, turning his ...

“The ink that made blood flow.” How this film was able to be made is still a bit of a mystery to me. Made in a Germany-occupied France during World War II and produced by a German production company, Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Le Corbeau was somehow able to disguise its anti-informant ...

Super tongue strikes again! Bob Clark’s Black Christmas is a masterpiece of horror (and humor) that you truly can deck the halls with. There’s no other way to put it. Oh, the print critics had a field day punting it around at the time of its release, but the joke is on them. Its genre legacy speaks ...
