Everybody in front of and behind the camera in Red Sun Rising obviously worked very hard, and the result is a solid actioner.

You are probably asking: If House Of The Long Shadows has in its cast John Carradine, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price, and Christopher Lee, why is it so obscure? Well, the four stars are in fine shape, but the rest of the movie…

THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN (1957)

Some serious science fiction from Hammer about a scientist who joins an expedition searching for the legendary Yeti, and ends up finding a lot more than he expected…

Scripted by Nigel Kneale, this low-key, thoughtful drama has much to say about Mankind’s place in the world and his claim to be the dominant species—finally concluding (as if we ever doubted it) that Home sapiens really, really sucks…

While Cocaine: One Man’s Seduction has both some unintended laughs and some effective serious moments, the movie doesn’t work overall either as an exercise in camp or as an effective portrayal of the dangers of drugs.

Although I did revert to form a little at the last minute by reviewing a Jesus Franco film:

The Belko Experiment (2017), in which unseen puppetmasters incite an epidemic of mass murder in a corporate office building…

Europa Report (2013), in which astronauts searching for life on Jupiter’s coolest moon find what they’re looking for…

Get Out (2017), in which meeting the parents is an even bigger nightmare than our hero was expecting…

Iron Doors (2010), in which not everything screwy that befalls one on April Fool’s Day is a prank…

Kong: Skull Island (2017), in which yet another “shared universe” meta-franchise sputters into life…

Mansion of the Living Dead (1982), in which Franco hears someone call Horror of the Zombies the worst of the Blind Dead movies and says, “Agarra mi cerveza“…

Night of the Tentacles (2012), in which the world’s most embarrassing heart attack leads to a pact with Satan even less carefully thought out than usual…

The Vampire’s Coffin (1958), in which Count Laszlo Lavud sees how city living suits him…

and…

Zombie A-Hole (2012), which commendably bears absolutely no resemblance to the movie you just imagined upon reading that title.
