Chambre 666 (1982)

 

 

During the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, German director Wim Wenders asks fifteen other famous directors to give their views on the future of cinema.

 

Curious short documentary with an interesting idea is fascinating for its array of important directors and their views, but is generally, due to the temporal nature of the query, outdated.

The Nest of the Cuckoo Birds (1965)

 

 

 

An agent for the Liquor Control Department is dispatched to disband a gang of cut-throat still operators on an island in the everglades run by their leader "Doc".

 

At first, this off-kilter Southern Gothic drama puts its audience off with over-the-top screeching performances and seemingly amateurish direction, but does compel with its harsh b/w settings and a genuinely nightmarish atmosphere.

 

 

Snow White: A Tale of Terror (1997)

Orgy of the Dead (1965)

 

 

A couple driving to a cemetery looking for inspiration for a horror story encounters the dancing dead. 

 

Mercilessly juvenile and utterly tedious succession of amateur nudie dance scenes and not much else; believe it or not, Ed Wood's inane dialogues add some (involuntary) comic relief.

Alison Brie

The Staggering Girl (2019)

 

 

Francesca, an Italian-American writer who lives in New York and must return to Rome to retrieve her aging mother. 

 

Sumptuous art house short with lots of Valentino Haute Couture to admire actually utilizes its stellar cast to tell a compelling woman's story.

Chiaki Kuriyama

Lock Up (1989)

 

 

With only six months left of his sentence, an inmate is transferred from a minimum security prison to a maximum security prison by a vindictive warden.

Tough prison camp thriller is watchable for its cast, but adds nothing new to the genre.
 

Halliwell (no star): "Nasty and sadistic, with no redeeming qualities."

Maltin*1/2: "Missing are Linda Blair, John Vernon, a lesbian guard, and 15 gratuitous showers; you do get a body-shop montage backed by Ides of March's "Vehicle." Bottom of the world, ma."
