The Headless Eyes

videonastiespodcast@gmail.com (Christopher Brown) — Sat, 06 Mar 2021 12:33:44 +0000

Fairly arty, quite odd, pretty sleazy. The Headless Eyes, from 1971, is a bit of an aquired taste, but this is a wonderfully grubby serial killer flick, shot in New York.

Death Weekend

videonastiespodcast@gmail.com (Christopher Brown) — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 12:07:20 +0000

William Fruet’s exploitation film is considerably better than you’d expect, considering it was trashed on its release, lashed as the other film with touring prints of Last House On The Left, and fell into relative obscurity. It’s all due to some strong character work and great acting.

The Toy Box

videonastiespodcast@gmail.com (Christopher Brown) — Sun, 28 Jun 2020 09:35:10 +0000

Superstition

videonastiespodcast@gmail.com (Christopher Brown) — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 09:51:55 +0000
