*This is the sixth and final installment of the series “Karloff’s Bizarre and Final Six Pack,” which also featured Fear Chamber, House of Evil, Curse of the Crimson Altar, Cauldron of Blood, and Isle of the Snake People. Alien Terror (1971) (AKA) Sinister Invasion is one of the oddest of Boris Karloff‘s final . . . → Read More: ALIEN TERROR (1971) * This is the fifth installment in the series “Karloff’s Bizarre and Final Six Pack.” Snake People (AKA Isle Of The Snake People) feels like pure Jack Hill; that is, Jack Hill the exploitation guru to whom Quentin Tarantino has built an altar. The opening narration is a duller variant of Criswell’s repetitive but puerile Plan . . . → Read More: ISLE OF THE SNAKE PEOPLE (1971) “Moving pictures merely repeat what we have been told for centuries by novels and plays. Thus, a marvelous instrument for the expression of poetry and dreams (the subconscious world) is reduced to the role of simple REPEATER of stories expressed by other art forms”-Luis Buñuel. Simon of the Desert (1965) was Buñuel’s final Mexican film . . . → Read More: BUNUEL’S SIMON OF THE DESERT (1965) * This is the second installment in the series “Karloff’s Bizarre and Final Six Pack.” Boris Karloff‘s series of Mexican films is anything but routine. Of the entire ill-reputed group, House of Evil (1968) has something that most resembles a traditional plot. It is orthodox only in that it is a retread of the old dark . . . → Read More: HOUSE OF EVIL (1968) *This is the first part of “Karloff’s Bizarre and Final Six Pack,” a series examining Karloff’s final films.

However, few, if any, of the Abbott and Costello films withstand the test of time. Their initial rendezvous with a trio of Universal monsters retains some dated charm, but little of it comes . . . → Read More: LA CASA DEL TERROR (1960) AND FACE OF THE SCREAMING WEREWOLF (1964) Luis Buñuel‘s self-imposed exile in Mexico from 1946-1964 yielded a fruitful harvest, and his films from this period are, arguably, his most organic and economically composed. The director listed Nazarin, based off the Benito Perez Galdos novel, as a film he felt much affection for, and that affection extended to the character Father Nazario (Francisco Rabal). . . . → Read More: BUNUEL’S NAZARIN (1959) “Nothing in [critic's] educations or experiences can have prepared them for The Holy Mountain. Here is a film completely outside the entire tradition of motion picture art, outside the tradition of modern theater, outside the tradition of criticism and review. Criticism is irrelevant.”–film critic Jules Siegel, a quote chosen for The Holy Mountain‘s trailer . . . → Read More: 83.
