Dracula's Dog (1977)

 

Stark Fear (1962)

 

A sadistic husband mentally tortures his wife, while eventually planning to murder her. 

Unusual Noir psychological thriller captures domestic violence in some drastic scenes and strong black-and-white images to an almost frenetic level. 

 

Tetsuo (1989)

 

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)

 

A former child star torments her paraplegic sister in their decaying Hollywood mansion.

Delightfully over-the-top psychological horror thriller gives Davis and Crawford the opportunity to go into full throttle competition with their performances; full of memorable moments - and some shock along the way.

Halliwell*: "Famous for marking the first time Hollywood's ageing first ladies stooped to horror, and followed by Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte and the other Whatevers, this dreary looking melodrama only occasionally grabs the attention and has enough plot for about half its length. The performances, however, are striking."

Maltin***1/2: "Far-fetched, thoroughly engaging black comedy...Bette has a field day in her macabre characterization, with Buono a perfect match."

More Than Honey (2012)

 

An in-depth look at honeybee colonies in California, Switzerland, China and Australia.

Beautifully photographed documentary presents its insights in a strangely impassive and unexcited tone, besides the global challenges facing bee cultures.
