A shy 12 year old who has trouble at school and likes to watch horror films one day finds a human head in his older brothers bedroom. This is the start of the young boys journey. Fascinating to watch, really gets a grip on you in that low key horror way. Although not all about gore, there are some tough scenes involving gore.
Ian Ogilvy returns from Spain to find who killed his brother. Ogilvy is a retired gangster who takes on a horrible street gang with the help of a few of his ex gangster chums. Great seeing Ogilvy in a lead role again, and although he does some nasty things he has a sense of charm about his character. No great film, but very enjoyable stuff for this viewer.
All about the gangster Pretty Boy Floyd and how he became a gangster. The first part of the film I preferred more before Floyd became a bit to big for his boots so to speak. For the budget it sometimes captures the Bonnie and Clyde atmosphere, but is not a patch on that film. An ok film to pass the time though.
I got this movie for a long long time, but never watched. From what I’ve have seen on the internet, sounds like a western movie with macaroni combat influences… I will finally give it a try tonight.
Tonight at the Billy Wilder theater in LA: Double feature… White Zombie and Ouanga (very rare). 35mm prints restored by the UCLA Film Archive. tomorrow they’re screening The Crime of Dr Crespi. Another rare film with Erich von Stroheim, which I wont be able to attend
