A masked maniac prowls the beaches of Argentina. He captures beautiful girls, takes them back to his lair, and injects them with dope. This is when things get very weird. He then plays some freaky-sounding organ music to turn them into his zombie slaves. We won't tell you what he does to them, but it isn't pretty. There are some cringe-worthy moments involving hypodermic needles and there are numerous shock scenes.

The authorities find him dead, nearly every bone in his body broken. Later, a beautiful young television producer is passed a slip of paper (slipped into...

1971, aka THE STRANGE VICE OF MRS. WARDH This film is considered by many to be a landmark giallo film. An ambassador's promiscuous wife discovers that either her husband, her ex-lover, or her current lover might actually be a sadistic slasher who has been brutally slaying women in the area. The scene of the maniac killing a prostitute in a car is most disturbing. Grim, but stylishly done. Nice color, widescreen, from 35mm.

As far as we know, Fritz Lang's Journey to the Lost City has not been seen in an anamorphic format since its Colorscope release by AIP in 1960. The film was originally culled from two separate movies, The Tiger of Eschnapur (1959) and its sequel, The Indian Tomb. In this great 2-disc edition, you get both films in their anamorphic widescreen format. Most of us know the story: Hubschmid is an architect who has come to the far-off city of Eschnapur to do work for a Maharajah (Walter Reyer). He...

Don't stay at this inn if your a good-looking lady who shows even the slightest propensity toward men. The two crazy-sister inkeepers will have their way with you.

Nadja Tiller, Peter Van Eyck, Nicole Badal, Amedeo Nazarri, Hannah Wieder. A brilliant piece of filmmaking about a group of mental misfits in a way-out-of-this-world sanatorium. Tiller is an alcoholic poet battling madness. Van Eyck, also an alcoholic, is the handsome artist who befriends her. Wieder, however, almost steals the show as the sex kitten nymphomaniac who is also suicidal. There are many bits of brilliance in this outstanding film. Wow! Our absolute highest recommendation! 16mm ...
