I think Omega Entertainment wishes they could go back in time so that their release of the movie The Time Traveller (a.k.a. THE NEXT ONE) could then get much better DVD case art.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.

Shelved for 26 years (!!!) before finally getting released, the sketch comedy movie Imps has in its cast cult stars such as Linda Blair, John Carradine, Sybil Danning, Fred Willard, Marilyn Chambers, Jennifer Tilly, Jimmie Walker, David L. Lander, and Michael McKean. What it doesn’t have, unfortunately, are any laughs.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
I always enjoy an all-over-the-map update after one as narrowly focused as last month’s:
Beast from Haunted Cave (1959), in which the bank robbers were ready for anything except a monster…
Dracula (1973), in which I’m not sure how you arrive at the decision to cast a cowboy in decline as frigging Count Dracula, but that’s what Dan Curtis did…
Dune, Part One (2021), in which I’m insisting on that “Part One” precisely because the producers were so determined to downplay it…
Frankenstein (1973), in which Curtis does something even more radical than casting Jack Palance as Dracula: he makes a Frankenstein movie that more or less follows the book!
Halloween: Resurrection (2002), in which the second major timeline of the Halloween franchise reaches an ending even more ignominious than the first one’s…
Superchick (1973), in which she may have a secret identity, but her only superpower is polyamory…
and…
What Have You Done to Solange? (1972), in which I saved the sleaziest for last with regard to my recent giallo binge.
El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.
I don’t get it

The British family Christmas movie Get Santa might have been passable or even very good had it not heavily aped the worst of American Christmas movies.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
While Attack On Darfur is packaged as an action movie, it’s actually a movie delivering a serious message about the brutality of both armed conflict and genocide.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.

There is little in The Sea Gypsies to differentiate it from the plethora of other mediocre wilderness-oriented family movies of the 1970s.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
Too much, really, as it happened. One of the movies I planned to review for this update had to get kicked back into next month’s update so that I could keep all these tangly-ass mysteries about black-gloved killers straight enough to write about them!
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970), in which Dario Argento more or less singlehandedly convinces people outside of West Germany to care about gialli at long last…
The Cat o’ Nine Tails (1971), in which Argento really earns his nickname as the Italian Hitchcock…
Gently Before She Dies (1972), in which I acquire a new favorite riff on “The Black Cat,” but still can’t bring myself to type Your Vice Is a Locked Room, and Only I Have the Key over and over again…
and…
A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin (1971), in which Lucio Fulci, of all people, proves that a giallo can be full of arresting, irrational imagery and still make solid, logical sense for the most part.
El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.
Most people would understandably find Beyond The Poseidon Adventure to be a bad movie. However, I think it would be passable for certain people in certain situations.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
The horror anthology After Midnight makes two fatal mistakes; not having enough horror, and not really delivering when it comes to twists at the end of its stories.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.

If I gave ratings to the movie reviews on my website, the Peter Bogdanovich movie Illegally Yours would get a “zero”. Or “no stars”. Or an “F”. Or… you get the idea.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
