Review: She Freak
Blu-ray: She Freak (1967)Another in 101 Films AGFA line of releases (make sure to read my reviews of Effects, Lady Street Fighter and Jungle Trap), She Freak once again gave me another dollop of low budget indie filmmaking that thoroughly entertained me.The story (what little there is) revolves around Jade Cochran (Claire Brennen); a woman jaded with her […]

Review: Voices

Review: The Devil’s Men
Blu-ray: The Devil’s Men (1976) Though starring Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasence (2 actors who I will watch in anything just because they are in it), The Devil’s Men struggled to keep my attention throughout its 88 minute running time. Cushing plays Baron Corofax; a suave man who also just happens to be the leader of a satanic cult […]
