Paganini Horror (1988)
ELO fans will get it.
Ok its a low budget supernatural thriller. Dont expect a lot, but its camp so enjoyable if youre into it. The outfits sow off 80's Italian design that takes a lot of clues from 1980's LA scene. The plot wasnt confusing but thats not what this film is about anyway. Its seems to be a pulpy vehicle for... the soundtrack? Overdecorated mansions? Nice hair?
So fun fact, the lost Paganini song is a direct rip off of ELO's Twilight from their 1981 album, Time.
I can just imagine Jeff Lynne watching this and going "here, hold on a minute!" .
And Donald Pleasence is the king of quick appearances in low budget horror movies. He can show up, run lines, grab his check and be home for dinner. He knows what kind of movies hes in.
More (1969)
A time capsule
Ok, i wanted to see this for a while because of the Pink Floyd connection. However what we have here is Sid and Nancy before Sid and Nancy. This movie is the sole reason pot was labelled a gateway drug.
Starfish (2018)
You cant use a rotary phone
Dead ultra-hipster gives clues to her sleepy and ditsy model friend to thwart an alien invasion.
Black Dynamite (2011)
Underrated cultural touchstone
The series is written so well with jokes/cultural references firing faster than Black Dynamites machine gun. This is a masterclass in Blacksploitation, taking the genre to its ultimate climax.
