Silver Bullet (1985) isn’t a bad werewolf movie, but it suffers from coming near the end of a series of much better ones. After The Howling (1981), An American Werewolf in London (1981), and The Company of Wolves (1984), it’s kind of hard to compete. This was my first time watching it since its original

We’ve been working through our 70’s TV movies chronologically. However, we’ll occasionally backtrack to see if any we missed the first time have become available. Such is the case with today’s film. Although it never quite combusts, The Devil & Miss Sarah (1971) is a slow burn genre hybrid just interesting enough to be entertaining.

I run to death, and death meets me as fast, and all my pleasures are like yesterday. Holy sonnet VII, Jonne Donne The Seventh Victim (1947) is my least favorite of producer Val Lewton’s early films. In fact, I think I’d rank them in the order they were made: Cat People (1942), I Walked with

This one is a real treat! The Cat Creature (1973) is a good, old-fashioned monster movie that incorporates the subtlety of Val Lewton into a 1970’s twist on The Mummy. It’s so full of classic horror cred, that I’ve got to create a list: This alone is enough to make any monster kid’s heart sing.

This review originally appeared on October 15, 2017 as part of the annual Countdown to Halloween. After reading and hearing about Daughters of Darkness (1971) for many years, I have now finally seen it… and I’m glad about that. Although it isn’t as lurid as I imagined it would be, it’s still one very sexy

Ordeal (1973) wastes no time getting started. Before we even know why Kay Damian (Diana Muldaur) is so eager to leave her husband, Richard (Arthur Hill), for dead when he’s thrown off his horse and tumbles over the edge of a small cliff while visiting a dude ranch, it happens. If you suspect that the

This review originally appeared on the old WordPress site on October 8, 2017 as part of the annual Countdown to Halloween. Island of Death (1976) is the kind of movie I don’t really want to tell anyone I watched. When you’re a horror fan, you see a lot of films that push the boundaries of

The President’s Plane is Missing (1973) is like a version of 24 mixed with a little bit of The West Wing viewed through a filter of the early to mid-1970s. That is to say, it shares the mystery and intrigue of those shows, just at a more leisurely pace. I mean, a very leisurely pace…

Here’s one of those bizarre coincidences that lead me to believe I’m at least a little bit psychic… After watching The Hunger (1983) Thursday night, I awoke on Friday morning to a headline in my New York Times daily newsletter that read: Scientific breakthroughs could soon start slowing the aging process, David Brooks argues. It’s

As many of these 1970s TV horror films as I remember seeing when they first aired, I do not recall Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. My first real viewing occurred when I bought the Warner Archive DVD prior to release of the 2010 remake, which, due to the sale of Miramax Films, was delayed
