Martin (1978) 90% EDIT “More than just a midnight-movie classic, Martin is inventive, haunting and bitingly smart. Forget the recent Land Of The Dead and see Romero at the top of his terror game.” – Film4 Oct 14, 2011 Full Review Blood for Dracula (1974) 68% EDIT “Outrageous, hilarious and shocking, this is trash art at its very best.” – Film4 Oct 19, 2009 Full Review Mister Lonely (2007) 45% 2/5 EDIT “Mister Lonely is an exercise in transformation, both on and off the screen. Korine has shed his Dogme 95 skin but what kind of filmmaker emerges is not exactly clear.” – Film4 Mar 14, 2008 Full Review Fando and Lis (1968) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Jodorowsky's lyrical fantasy leaves Fellini and Buuel spluttering in its dust.” – Film4 Feb 26, 2008 Full Review Planet Terror (2007) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Following Tarantino's Death Proof, Rodriguez throws his hat into the Grindhouse ring and comes out the clear winner. Impossible not to be charmed by its gross-out effects, bad dialogue and amputee action.” – Film4 Nov 9, 2007 Full Review This Filthy World (2006) 92% 4/5 EDIT “At 61-years-old, Waters is growing old in disgraceful fashion. Avid fans will know some of the shtick already but nothing can compare to hearing it from the horse's filthy mouth.” – Film4 Sep 28, 2007 Full Review Grindhouse Presents: Death Proof (2007) 67% 2/5 EDIT “No need to buckle up, Death Proof is stuck in the slow lane. Self-indulgent and uninspired, bankrollers Bob and Harvey Weinstein should have reined in Tarantino with a genuine Grindhouse-sized budget.” – Film4 Sep 21, 2007 Full Review The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) 85% 3/5 EDIT “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre loses none of its intensity as the years go by.” – Film4 Sep 19, 2007 Full Review
