THE STUDENT OF PRAGUE (1935) Anton Walbrook, Dorothea Wieck, Theodor Loos, Erich Fiedler. A magnificent horror-fantasy film!  The setting is Prague in the 1860s.  Walbrook plays Balduin, a handsome young student.  Into his life walks a beautiful singer named Julia. But hovering over her life is the sinister Dr. Carpis, a Satan-like figure who’s more of a human shadow than a flesh-and-blood being...

(1963, Upgraded 12/30/22) Victor Buono, Diane Sayer, Ellen Corby, David McLean, Davey Davison, Russ Bender. There's a mad killer on the loose in the form of an overweight lab technician. His victims are the nurses who attend his over-possessive mother. Buono, fresh off his success in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, is uncomfortably over-realistic in his role as the demented killer.  There are some pretty grim...

Five people have stolen a priceless, legendary emerald from a religious temple. One of them is slain by an unknown killer. The police search desperately for...

(1972, Upgraded 12/28/22) Bonnie Bedelia, Ken Howard, Anthony Zerbe. Howard picks up a young, quirky (and very pretty) vagabond woman in the desert. She tricks him into taking her to her desert shack where she breaks his leg with the blunt end of an axe! After that it’s very much like the Cathy Bates-James Caan relationship from Stephen King’s "Misery." In fact, the story is so...

(1966, Updated 12/30/20) Lon Chaney, Carol Ohmart, Jill Banner, Quinn K. Redeker, Beverly Washburn, Sid Haig, Mantan Moreland. Perversely delightful, often hilarious, and downright horrifying. Chaney is the household master of an eerie mansion full of regressive psychos. Mantan Moreland's famous window-slice-and-dice opening scene gives you a grim but humous taste of what's coming...

(1945, aka THE BELLMAN) Renée Faure, Roger Pigaut, Madeleine Robinson, Lucien Coëdel, Fernand Ledoux..  With every batch of new releases there’s always a film or two that we absolutely rave about.  Spells is one of those films.  The IMDB description fits it perfectly, listing it as a horror-crime-drama.  Spells is full of latent and overt horror elements, featuring a black devil horse that terrorizes mountain villagers...

(1976) Pauline Quirke, Geoffrey Bateman, Wensley Pithey, Ruth Goring, Shirley Cheriton.  Quirke is brilliant in her portrayal of a pitiful, frumpy, inhibited teenage checkout girl at a small supermarket.  She has a crush on her manager who despises her and lusts for another female employee.  Then strange things begin happening.  It begins with a can rolling across the market floor, seemingly under its own power...

(1967, aka DIARY OF A MADMAN) Tom Troupe.  It's not often you see a psychological horror film that delves into the depths of madness the way this film does.  Sofi begins with a 19^th Century business clerk walking through his village toward home.  Inside his humble dwelling he looks into the camera and begins to tell tales of his every day experiences and his infactuation with a woman named Sofi.  His rantings soon dissolve into self-induced madness and brooding psychological horror...
