Retro Review: The Man Who Fell to Earth
Retro Review: Manhunter
With early signs indicating that the back half of Hannibal’s upcoming third season will adapt the novel Red Dragon, there's no better time to revisit that novel's first film adaptation.
Retro Review: Poltergeist
There's a definite need for a particular strain of horror that's aimed at kids, and Poltergeist proves that it can be done effectively, without pulling punches or watering things down.
Retro Review: Over the Edge
A seminal teen drama.
Retro Review: Time After Time
H.G. Wells really is a time traveler who chases Jack the Ripper into the future in this thinking person's adventure tale.
Retro Review: Last Night
It's the end of the world as we know, and this vision of the end is unfailingly polite.
Retro Review: The Freakmaker
A hybrid of disparate elements that shouldn't really go together, much like the human-plant monsters who menace the characters.
Retro Review: Enter the Void
A bold, unique, singular, visionary work about terrible people I didn't engage with doing terrible things I didn't care about.
Retro Review: Tenebrae
Argento tinkers with the giallo formula a bit, resulting in an enjoyable, effective and essentially Argento mystery-thriller.
