The Brood

Year: 1979
Director: David Cronenberg
Writer: David Cronenberg
Rating: 9.5/10

Excellent Cronenberg horror/thriller.

Savage Weekend

Year: 1979
Director: David Paulsen
Writer: David Paulsen
Rating: 7/10

Muddled low budget horror with a strong "regional" sense.

Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror

Year: 1981
Director: Andrea Bianchi
Writer: Piero Regnoli
Rating: 8.5/10

Languid Italian zombie flick with unique costume and make-up for the undead.

Exterminator 2

Year: 1984
Director: Mark Buntzman
Writers: Mark Buntzman, William Sachs
Rating: 7.5/10

Semi-post-apocalyptic action flick with an improbable storyline - burning "punx" in the streets.

E Tu Vivrai Nel Terrore - L'aldilà (The Beyond)

Year: 1981
Director: Lucio Fulci
Writers: Dardano Sacchetti, Dardano Sacchetti, Giorgio Mariuzzo, Lucio Fulci
Rating: 9/10

Essential Fulci.

Night Of The Demon

Year: 1980
Director: James C. Wasson
Writers: Jim L. Ball, Mike Williams
Rating: 8.5/10

Cut-rate (in all the right ways) Sasquatch horror; note the excellent and excessive use of the phrase "horribly mutilated".

Inferno In Diretta (Cut And Run)

Year: 1985
Director: Ruggero Deodato
Writers: Cesare Frugoni, Dardano Sacchetti, Luciano Vincenzoni
Rating: 8/10

Somewhat conflicted and strange Italian jungle adventure b flick.

Dead-End Drive In

Year: 1986
Director: Brian Trenchard-Smith
Writers: Peter Carey, Peter Smalley
Rating: 10/10

Idiosyncratic post-apocalyptic film with a uniquely Australian flavor.

Steel

Year: 1997
Director: Kenneth Johnson
Writer: Kenneth Johnson
Rating: 6.5/10

Watching Shaq act is the sole reason (but a great reason) to watch this comic-book action flick.

Under Siege 2: Dark Territory

Year: 1995
Director: Geoff Murphy
Writers: Richard Hatem, Matt Reeves, J.F. Lawton
Rating: 6/10

This Seagal vehicle mostly offers expansion on the 'Casey Rybeck' character and a streamlined 'GoldenEye' plot.

On Deadly Ground

Year: 1994
Director: Steven Seagal
Writers: Ed Horowitz, Robin U. Russin
Rating: 9/10

Seagal finally directs his own movie, and the result is a sublimely mishandled (or perfectly handled) action flick "with a conscious".

Under Siege

Year: 1992
Director: Andrew Davis
Writers: J.F. Lawton
Rating: 7.5/10

A decent 'Die Hard' knockoff; Gary Busey in drag is a definite highlight of this Seagal vehicle.

Out For Justice

Year: 1991
Director: John Flynn
Writers: David Lee Henry
Rating: 8.5/10

From start to finish, a definite high mark for Seagal - perhaps because there was only 1 writer?

Marked For Death

Year: 1990
Director: Dwight H. Little
Writers: Michael Grais, Mark Victor
Rating: 8/10

Further developments of the 'Seagal' character, and 'Screwface' is one of the more memorable Seagal villains.

Above The Law

Year: 1988
Director: Andrew Davis
Writers: Andrew Davis, Steven Seagal, Steven Pressfield, Ronald Shusett
Rating: 7.5/10

Entertaining action flick that introduces the 'Seagal' character.

Kickboxer

Year: 1989
Directors: Mark DiSalle, David Worth
Writers: Mark DiSalle, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Glenn A. Bruce
Rating: 6.5/10

Excellent martial arts action, but stumbles through several Hollywood cliches.

Antropophagus

Year: 1980
Director: Joe D'Amato
Writers: Joe D'Amato, George Eastman
Rating: 9/10

Italian horror that shines with its leisurely pacing and grotesque cannibalism.

Deadly Friend

Year: 1986
Director: Wes Craven
Writer: Bruce Joel Rubin
Rating: 9/10

Odd but well-executed sci-fi/medical horror.

Buio Omega (Beyond The Darkness)

Year: 1979
Director: Joe D'Amato
Writers: Ottavio Fabbri, Giacomo Guerrini
Rating: 9.5/10

Sleazy Italian b-horror that nearly becomes an art film due to its slow pace, minimal dialog, and "slice-of-life" direction.

Spice World

Year: 1997
Director: Bob Spiers
Writers: Kim Fuller, Jamie Curtis
Rating: 5/10

A somewhat terrifying look at mid-90s Britain and its popstars.

Night Of The Demons

Year: 1988
Director: Kevin Tenney
Writer: Joe Augustyn
Rating: 8/10

Haphazardly executed b-horror, but completely worth it for several notable lines and scenes.

Phantasm

Year: 1979
Director: Don Coscarelli
Writer: Don Coscarelli
Rating: 9.5/10

Fantastically bizarre sci-fi/horror.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Year: 1982
Director: Tommy Lee Wallace
Writers: Tommy Lee Wallace, Nigel Kneale
Rating: 9/10

Sci-fi horror very much in the style of John Carpenter and the Twilight Zone.

Slugs: The Movie

Year: 1988
Director: Juan Piquer Simón
Writers: Juan Piquer Simón, José Antonio Escrivá, Ron Gantman
Rating: 8.5/10

Riotous b-horror; killer slugs, what else needs to be said?

Inferno

Year: 1980
Director: Dario Argento
Writer: Dario Argento
Rating: 9/10

Well-done horror that builds upon the strong points of "Susperia".

Cruising

Year: 1980
Director: William Friedkin
Writer: William Friedkin
Rating: 8/10

Al Pacino delving into the world of "heavy leather / leather daddies"; nicely executed crime thriller, but it could have benefited from more club scenes.
