Sinister Cinema

Heinz Drache, Barbara Rutting, Klaus Kinsky. The nameless shadow of a mad killer known only as 'the squeaker' follows the lives of three horrified people who are to be his next victims. From 16mm.

Sean Flynn, Jose Ferrer, Nicole Courcel. An outstanding film about an American Army train going from Berlin into the West Zone. On board is an East German stowaway. The Russians get wind of it and stop the train. A standoff between the good guys and the commies ensues. A very literate, engaging script that keeps your interest perked. This film, more than any other, showed the acting potential of Errol Flynn's son, Sean, who plays the lead role. From 16mm.

Stewart Granger, Karen Dor, Rupert Davies, Curt Jurgens, Molly Peters, Adolfo Celi. A secret agent is sent abroad to prevent a crime syndicate from assassinating a young heiress. Our debonair agent Granger saves the girl and wins her affections as well in this very well made Italian spy thriller. From 16mm.

Ginger Rogers, Lyle Talbot. One of the better poverty row old dark house horror films to come out of the 1930's. A hooded maniac in a spooky house does in his many victims by electrocution as they're speaking on the telephone!

Robert Beatty, Betty McDowall, Lee Patterson, Sean Connery. A banker's son is accidently locked in an air-tight vault that's not set to open again for over 60 hours. It's a life-and-death race against time to save the boy's life in this great British thriller. 16mm.

Gordon Scott, Massimo Serato. Italian sword & sandal thrills as the son of Hercules is pitted against an evil king and his wretched followers. Now in color.

George O'Brien, Dorothy Wilson, Paul Kelly, Harry Woods, Jimmy Butler, Richard Carlyle. This is one helluva B western. A spoiled rich dude--down to his last $200 after wasting his inheritance--takes a train to California and gets off at a little cowboy town where he completely turns his life around. He intercedes on behalf of a local farmer who's had his water supply cut off by another rancher. O'Brien was one the top Western stars of the 30's, and it's easy to see why. We highly recommend...

Paul Lukas, Mary anderson, Helmut Dantine. A female reporter has info that lays suspicion upon a well known patron of the arts who may have murdered a young girl many years before. He makes several attempts to 'get rid' of her before she can prove her theory to the authorities.

Terry Moore, Debra Paget, Bert Freed, Juli Redding. Padget commits murder. Moore is arrested instead, then tried and sentenced to die. This engaging crime thriller takes you right through Terry's trial and up to her last minutes on death row. When Padget is finally ready to confess, Moore is already strapped into the electric chair! Will she be saved? A very ambitious AIP thriller that we strongly Recommended. 16mm.

Eddie Constantine. In this French espionage thriller, Eddie again plays the role that made him a star, Lemmy Caution. Lots of two fisted action. From 16mm.

Donald Pleasance, Tom Baker, Brad Harris, Michael Dunn, Julie Ege. Pleasance plays a mad scientist crossing plants and animals. He creates a series of horrendous freaks, including a lizard woman and a human Venus Flytrap. Dunn has great fun playing PleasanceOs deformed assistant. Chilling at times and well worth a look. Color, 16mm.

Brian Cox, Leonard Rossiter, Suzanne Neve, Tony Vogel. Bizarre drama about Earth in the distant future. Overpopulation is a big problem so television has been filled with gluttony and porno programs in order to put people off food and sex. It is also the year of the Sex Olympics. However, when TV ratings fail, a reality-based show is introduced in which a real-life couple is deposited on a remote island with no modern conveniences. Considering this was a British TV feature, itOs amazing to see...
