Le Lac Des Morts Vivants (Zombie Lake)

Sublimely surreal zombie flick that crosses the line from horror to "Art".

Blackjack

Year: 1998
Director: John Woo
Writer: Peter Lance
Rating: 8/10

At first, it seems to be a tepid recycling of "Hard Boiled" but the abundance of homosexual overtones combine to create an action-packed gay pride homage / giallo.

Midwestern malaise at its finest; dream-crushing.

Suor Omicidi (Killer Nun)

Over the top "nun-sploitation" Italian b-slasher.

The House Of The Devil

Finely crafted early 80s horror worship; but definitely not just a throw-back.

Absurdist post-apocalyptic Mad Max-styled Italian flick.

A decent giallo, but definitely post-1990 Argento.
