My memory was correct. It's a decent movie, but the first half is a bit of an unfocused muddle. The editing in some of the action scenes disrupts the flow, creating more of an action collage. The last act is far more solid. Brigitte Lin is mesmerizing and the most memorable part of the film. 📽

Swordsman II (1992) Ching Siu-tung (director) A hyperactive wuxia packed with undercranked action, wirework, and comedy. The plot isn't as focused as the first film. I first saw it theatrically in the '90s. Been a while since I've seen it. 📽 #SaturdayActionMovie #HongKongCinema #KungFu #Wuxia

One heck of a fun movie! Bud and Terence are their usual charismatic buddy team, with Eli Wallach as a double-crossing pest who stole their money. It's got comedy hi-jinks, some shoot-outs, and a casino heist of sorts. Kevin McCarthy (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) is one of the villains. 📽

Ace High (1968) Giuseppe Colizzi (writer/ director) Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. This is their second movie as a duo and the middle part of a trilogy. It picks up soon after the end of God Forgives... I Don't. 📽 #SaturdayActionMovie #BudSpencer #TerenceHill #ItalianWestern #Filmsky

Simple, fast-paced wuxia tale of scheming and intrigue, with a nice emotional garnish. I like when Ti Lung gets a romance arc. It doesn't happen a lot. 📽

King Eagle (1971) Chang Cheh (director) Ti Lung accidentally gets mixed up in a murder plot among the Tien YI Tong society's chiefs. Then he falls for the 7th Chief (Li Ching). 📽 #SaturdayActionMovie #ShawBrothers #Wuxia #KungFu #ChangCheh #Filmsky

Very very yes! Shot on super 8, with a pulsing electronic score, and practically a silent slasher movie. Over a series of days, a masked killer stalks women. I won't reveal details because it'll spoil things if you're interested. It's 48 minutes of slasher mood, with a touch of the surreal. 📽 💀

Folies Meurtrières (1984) Antoine Pellissier (writer/ director) French underground horror film. Which I have never seen. Bleeding Skull released this collection of Pellissier's features and shorts. 📽 #FridayNightHorror #HorrorMovies #Horrorsky #Horror #Filmsky

Bakterion (1982) Tonino Ricci (director) This is pretty fun. If you're not into the small town monster movie vibe or a detective running around, you may find it dull. But me, as an allegedly grown-up monster kid? I eat it up! 📽 #FridayNightHorror #HorrorMovies #Horrorsky #Horror #MonsterMovie

My gut instincts were right, again. 📽 boxd.it/dvSKcD

Ugly Stepsister (2025) Emilie Blichfeldt (writer/ director) I'd been putting this off because of comparisons to Substance (which I didn't like) in both its body horror and satirical comedy (which I often don't connect with). But I'm going in! 📽 #FridayNightHorror #HorrorMovies #Horror #Horrorsky

The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a pizza man

A new goofball appears! I hope she doesn't make a mess of the land... 🎮 #GreedFall2 #GreedFallTheDyingWorld #VideoGames #Xbox

I hadn't seen it. Love how dark the plot is, yet that jazzy score plays almost non-stop! It's got a mad scientist experimenting with live fetuses. Soledad Miranda's grief spiral into madness. Murder. A little necrophilia. All while sounding like a psychedelic pop dream. Jess Franco! 📽✨️🖤

She Killed in Ecstasy (1971) Jess Franco (writer/ director) Soledad Miranda's ginna get some revenge! This ine shares much cast and crew with Vampyros Lesbos. I don't think I've seen it before. 📽 #JessFranco #Filmsky

Top-notch crime drama with another stellar performance by Franco Nero. Filled with thrilling car chases and slow motion brutality, fueled by heightened emotion and an ever-present sense of dread. 📽

High Crime (1973) Enzo G Castellari (co-writer/ director) Franco Nero vs. drug dealers and gangsters. It was a big hit when released. It's got a great soundtrack by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis (Oliver Onions). 📽 #Poliziesco #Filmsky #ItalianCrimeFilms

Taxes done! Exhausted and hiding under the bed for the next... mmm, haven't decided yet.

That's some real funny diy stuff! Characters say the title many times, and it's always funny. And there are lore dump speeches, dinosaur animation loops, and jokes thrown so casually I played them back again... I dunno. I can't explain why it's funny. You may not think it is, but if so, hoo boy! 📽

Dinosaurs in a Mining Facility (2018) Jordin Goff (writer/ director) Meant to watch this a while ago, but if I had, then I wouldn't be watching it now, and I really want to watch it now, so yay! As much as I know, there are some dinosaurs in a mining facility. 📽 #PsychotronicPsunday #Filmsky

Pretty decent, though a little longer than it needed to be. Lots of scenes that might have been for dramatic impact but merely slowed things down. Oh, but they sure did know how to bring it to an ending!

G.B.H. 2: Lethal Impact (1991) David Kent-Watson (writer/ director) Cliff Twemlow has a last go-around of shot on video vengeance. Aside from the documentary, this'll conclude the Bloody Legend box set. 📽 #PsychotronicPsunday #CliffTwemlow #SeverinFilms #Filmsky

Quite a fun movie. I think this is the first time I saw the complete international version.

Frankenstein vs Baragon (1965) Ishiro Honda (director) I'm glad I live in a world where there's a movie about a gigantic Frankenstein that fights a gigantic reptile monster. Haven't seen this one in ages. 📽 #PsychotronicPsunday #Kaiju #Filmsky #CriterionChannel

In the commentary on the French Blu-ray, Gans addresses many of the problems I have with the film: the long, boring flashback was meant to look like an MGM musical, and the climax was supposed to be a gang of pyramid heads, each with a different weapon. www.dreadcentral.com/news/560811/...

Swordsman (1990) King Hu, Tsui Hark, Ching Siu-tung, Raymond Lee (directors) When Shout acquired the Golden Princess library, this was one of the top films I was excited about getting. It's my favorite of the three in this series. 📽 #SaturdayActionMovie #HongKongCinema #FilmSky #TsuiHark

Shaolin Martial Arts (1974) Chang Cheh (co-writer/ director) Third in the Shaolin Cycle. It's got Fu Sheng, Chi Kuan-chun, and Gordon Liu. Lau Kar-leung worked on the action. As with the other films in the cycle, it's great! 📽 #SaturdayActionMovie #ShawBrothers #KungFu #ChangCheh #Filmsky

Black Magic 2 (1976) Ho Meng-hua (director) Hong Kong horror! Not really a sequel. It's a different story with some returning actors. Has a look and style reminiscent of Italian horror. And worms. 📽 #FridayNightHorror #HorrorMovies #Horrorsky #Horror #HongKongCinema #ShawBrothers

Good ideas, and decent for stretches, but it breaks its rules on occasion and is a bit too preoccupied with serving the audience over its own story. Doesn't have enough guts to deliver actual chaos and harm when the climax tries to let loose. And too many instances of flat comedy. It's okay. 📽

Weapons (2025) Zach Cregger (writer/ director) Okay. I put this off because I liked Barbarian up until the last 5 minutes or so, when it drove itself off a cliff into a trash dump. I've l managed to escape knowing what this is about. 📽 #FridayNightHorror #HorrorMovies #Horrorsky #Horror

they knew what they were doing

Deaf Crocodile currently has a new pri ting of their Shahram Mokri set on sale at 29.95 (normally 54.95). Give it a peek. If it's your thing, that price makes it a must. I've watched Ashkan and Fish & Cat, and those two alone are worth the price. 📽 #Filmsky deafcrocodile.com/products/tim...

The protagonist lies in a state of delirium, and the very structure of the film reflects his mind, with scenes dissolving and fracturing, struggling under the weight of a new reality where cities could be annihilated in an instant. While it's firmly rooted in 1948, the themes are still relevant. 📽

Krakatit (1948) Otakar Vávra (co-writer/ director) Czechoslovak science fiction mystery thriller about a scientist found injured, delerious, and filled with regret for having invented a powerful explosive. 📽 #Filmsky #DeafCrocodile

A slice of noir drama in a postwar town where the only economy is from the US Air Force base. A black marketeer drives truckloads of stolen gravel to make extra money. A police investigator and a woman from his past start the plot down a very grim path. This is quite good! 📽

Black Gravel (1961) Helmut Käutner (co-writer/ director) Hardboiled German noir concerning tensions in a small town with a US Air Force base and the theft of black gravel. First-time viewing. 📽 #Filmsky #Noir

Moomin are trolls, btw.

Pretty far into Resident Evil Requiem, and I love it, but there's a thing I find annoying. Grace walks around, making scared noises like Luigi. Sure, I get she has panic attacks and such, but that doesn't cause people to constantly make fragile scared lady sounds. 🎮

Vampyros Lesbos (1971) Jess Franco (co-writer/ director) Watching Severin's 4k UHD disk. Beautifully shot, dynamite soundtrack, mesmerizing cabaret numbers, Soledad Miranda's eyes, and lesbian vampires. Embrace the vibes and drift away. 📽 #PsychotronicPsunday #Vampires #SeverinFilms #JessFranco

Lost (1983) Al Adamson (director) A family discovers their new home is a run-down shack, and the young daughter gets lost in the Utah mountains. Adamson's final theatrical movie. It's got Sandra Dee, Jack Elam, and Festus from Gunsmoke. 📽 #PsychotronicPsunday #Filmsky #AlAdamson #SeverinFilms

The preorder listing currently says inly 102 left in stock. vinegarsyndrome.com/products/cas...

Knock.Off (1998) Tsui Hark (Director) I saw this theatrically every day opening week. Tsui Hark, making Van Damme look the best he's ever looked. The cinematography is bananas. The camera is doing all kinds of mad tricks. Solid gold entertainment. 📽 #SaturdayActionMovie #TsuiHark #Filmsky

Men From the Monastery (1974) Chang Cheh (co-writer/ director) Second in the Shaolin Cycle and companion to Heroes Two. Another movie I love to bits! Interesting structure - the first segments show backstory to events prior to Heroes Two. 📽 #SaturdayActionMovie #ShawBrothers #KungFu #ChangCheh

A heck of a good time! Guy finds an artifact, and his life tumbles into a hallucinatory nightmare. Sixty-five minutes of synth moods and practical effects, done up on a meager budget. 📽

Deep Night (1991) Fabio Salerno (writer/ director) 16 mm diy Italian horror. Something about a guy who finds an evil artifact. First-time viewing. 📽 #FridayNightHorror #HorrorMovies #Horrorsky #Horror #Filmsky

For a while, it plays as a commentary on the bullying of outsiders. It shifts into pop psychology on wearing literal masks to escape societal masks. Eventually, the character plot solidifies and settles into a completely different movie. Trades off on humor and melodrama. Wobbly, but not bad. 📽

Persona (2000) Takashi Komatsu (director) Going in for J-Horror with tonight's first movie. Another one I know nothing about. It's the next in the J-Horror Rising set. 📽 #FridayNightHorror #HorrorMovies #Horrorsky #Horror #JHorror
