A ★★½ review of The Girl Who Dared (1944) The Girl Who Dared is a completely harmless old dark house murder mystery churned out from the Poverty Row system of the 40s. I was drawn to watch it purely on the basis of my recent acquisition of th...

"The basic pitch for the film made me wonder if it had some influence (conscious or unconscious) on John Carpenter when he crafted his screenplay for The Fog... if young Carpenter caught The Girl Who Dared on TV as a kid."

William Nigh's BLACK DRAGONS (1942), which turned 84 a few days ago, may hold the distinction of being the most incomprehensible movie ever to emerge from Golden Age Hollywood.

A ★★★½ review of Strangler of the Swamp (1946) A remake of the 1930s German film Marie Ferryman, Strangler Of The Swamp is amongst the very best of the poverty row horror pictures of its era. And that's not damning it with faint praise, as it's ge...

"The Strangling Ghost (Charles "Ming The Merciless" Middleton), a really frightening blurry, indistinct figure with twin pools of darkness for eyes, keeps busy bumping off everyone connected to his lynching with swamp vine nooses..." boxd.it/dsoakp #FilmSky #horrorsky #PovertyRow #ghoststory

A pair of underachieving 1940s PRC cheapies starring George Zucco, a 108 year old 11 minute Mummy horror comedy, & an early 30s prison escape classic that is still unfortunately all-too-relevant today.

A ★★ review of The Black Raven (1943) George Zucco is front and center of another PRC Poverty Row cheapie, but this time in a heroic role. He plays the sharp but shady manager of The Black Raven, a small hotel near the US/Canadian border,...

"George Zucco is front and center of another PRC Poverty Row cheapie, but this time in a heroic role... always being the smartest person in the room, dishing out plenty of sardonic asides and standing up for the innocent, a type that Zucco is perfect to play." boxd.it/cZOUnP

A ★ review of The Ape Man (1943) Ever since I was a little kid looking through monster movie books, every glimpse of Lugosi in The Ape Man always convinced me that I never needed to watch it. But my current Poverty Row obsession veto...

"I'll give it one star for the dubious pleasure of witnessing Lugosi acting like an enraged ape and getting into a vocal argument with the "real" gorilla, which is a guy in the same gorilla suit you see in every one of these cheapies of the war years." boxd.it/cKekhJ

A ★★ review of The Crime of Doctor Crespi (1935) The Crime Of Doctor Crespi is low grade poverty row junk that I should dislike purely for how boring it is... but somehow, I can't resist giving it that little heart. Eric Von Stroheim can't hold a ca...

"...in a moment that predates John Carpenter by about 40 years, Brooks has a nonchalant phone call talking about how attractive the buried man was... unaware that he is slowly inching his way down the darkened hospital corridor towards her."

A ★★ review of Voodoo Man (1944) After years of being blindingly underlit by a cinematographer's lighting crew, Bela Lugosi is driven to fiendish madness and a quest to revive his zombified wife with voodoo. Assisting him is a hilari...

"Voodoo Man is exactly the movie you deserve for selecting to watch a movie called Voodoo Man, which may or may not be a recommendation to your ears."

From Poverty Row, an example of how one can make a pretty good little atmospheric spook-story with about 50 cents and a few bologna sandwiches.

With this one, PRC decided nothing succeeds like success and reused the plot to this movie 3 or 4 times over the next few years. In one version, the "devil bat" even became the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl!

Joseph H. Lewis was one of the great b-movie artists of Golden Age Hollywood, a director with an unique visual flair who put his stamp on nearly every genre.

Naja. Charles Bronson prominent auf dem Cover, im Film hat er nur eine Szene & zwei Sätze. Dreist.
Erfreulich: Die Hauptrolle in der Krieg-LoveTriangle-C-Produktion spricht #RainerBrandt.
