Not as good as #3, but the ending is worth all the cheesy dragon fighting.

My first Mario Bava movie. The blue print of the modern slasher film. There’s lots of stylized lighting but didn’t quite hold my attention.

Low, low budget Japanese zombie movie. Terrible make-up. No scares. There are a few funny gags though: finger sushi and a clever zombie death or two.

Nowhere near as good as the sequel.

Great music and a twist that will have you immediately rewatching the first few scenes when it’s over. I hesitatingly think the Bird with the Crystal Plumage is a better movie.

Interesting documentary co-produced Penn Jillete that dissects a single raunchy joke. Lots of funny moments and lots of interesting shop-talk.

One of the worst movies ever made.

Francis Ford Coppola’s first feature. A low budget triller with good twists and nice pacing. The ending is a little weak and photography is 2nd rate, but all in all pretty good.

Low budget sci-fi from the 50s. Only noteworthy for its hard-scifi aspirations.

British production from the producer of Pieces. Pretty good but suffers from mediocre acting in what is essentially a character study.
