Maniac (1980) 45% EDIT “The script's probings into the roots of his psychosis are a bit shallow, but Spinell was a criminally underrated actor and carried much of the movie on his back.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Creepshow (1982) 66% EDIT “Bringing in plenty of name talent, the anthology-style film is more fun than scary.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Dawn of the Dead (1978) 92% EDIT “The second in Romero's Living Dead trilogy is rich with satirical pokes at consumer culture. ” – Austin Chronicle Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Day of the Dead (1985) 61% EDIT “Romero's budgetary restraints made for a rather talky and claustrophobic movie, filled with thoroughly unlikable characters and a clammy sense of hopelessness.” – Austin Chronicle Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Blue Collar (1978) 96% EDIT “Paul Schrader's directorial debut is an unexpectedly gritty working-class melodrama set in Detroit.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 21, 2021 Full Review The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) 98% EDIT “Stiller is terrific as a transit authority police lieutenant, as is Matthau as the rather sour cop who has to outsmart the bad guys.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 7, 2021 Full Review The Well (1951) 100% EDIT “The pace and direction of the film help maintain a great deal of tension from start to finish, and despite the obscure cast, the performances are uniformly good.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 7, 2020 Full Review The Crazies (1973) 68% EDIT “The Crazies offers no hope, no comfort and sure as hell no happy ending.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 28, 2018 Full Review Lisa and the Devil (1973) 64% EDIT “Beautiful, dark, and unsettling as hell, a real must for Mario Bava fans.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 28, 2018 Full Review The Last Man on Earth (1964) 79% EDIT “A chilling study of loneliness and an acting tour de force for Price as the last survivor of a dead race, and not exactly the feel-good movie of 1964.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 10, 2007 Full Review Skidoo (1968) 42% EDIT “It's worth seeing just for the sheer jaw-dropping amazement of it all.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 23, 2007 Full Review Foxy Brown (1974) 58% EDIT “This is fun action sleaze from the classic era of drive-in blaxploitation films, driven by the no-nonsense direction of Jack Hill, and did well enough at the box office to help put the still-gorgeous Pam Grier on the map. Don't miss it.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 13, 2007 Full Review Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002) 2.5/4 EDIT “Everyone loves a good rasslin' match between giant monsters, and that's something that this updated, modernized, new and improved Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla certainly delivers.” – Reel.com Apr 17, 2004 Full Review Highwaymen (2004) 13% 3/4 EDIT “Delivers plenty of scares, wince-inducing scenes and indie-film stylistic fillips.” – Reel.com Feb 20, 2004 Full Review Night of the Living Dead (1990) 57% EDIT “Sure, it's not the original NOTLD, but who expected it to be? The only real failings of the remake are in the bug-eyed performances (eliminating much of the original's nuance) and the extremely dated soundtrack.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 1, 2003 Full Review Race With the Devil (1975) 71% EDIT “This is some dumb, thoroughly predictable, drive-in flotsam, but between the cast and the nonstop action, it's fun nonetheless.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 1, 2003 Full Review Straw Dogs (1971) 82% EDIT “If The Wild Bunch was Peckinpah's most violent film, surely Straw Dogs has to be his coarsest and most intense. Peace and love? Forget it.” – Austin Chronicle Apr 2, 2003 Full Review
