BAR TRASH: a brief history of exploitation cinema, where imagination reigns supreme

A look back at a century of exploitation cinema as a source of “pure enjoyment and delight, despite improbable plots, ‘bad’ acting, or ragged film technique.”

PSYCHO (1960/Uncut 4K Restoration)
REVIEWS

PSYCHO (1960/Uncut 4K Restoration)

Not so much a review of the film, more of a reflection on the restoration – which is stunningly vivid – and the uncut theatrical version – which amplifies the horror.

FIRESTARTER (2022)
REVIEWS

FIRESTARTER (2022)

Keith Thomas’ remake is like food from a hastily arranged trip to the park with one of those disposable BBQ trays: burnt at the edges and raw in the middle.

FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN (1973)
REVIEWS

FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN (1973)

MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN (1994)
REVIEWS

MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN (1994)

HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP (1980)
REVIEWS

HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP (1980)

80 minutes of ‘schlock & awe’ from Roger Corman’s New World Pictures and director Barbara Peeters (well, for some of the time…).

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1983)
REVIEWS

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1983)

Whilst it’s always a delight to see this charming film, its shortcomings are many and the 35mm print used at BFI is really starting to show considerable age.

CLOSET MONSTER (2015)
REVIEWS

CLOSET MONSTER (2015)

A film that I hoped would be horror-ier (which I know isn’t a word but ‘have more horror in it’ isn’t right here either…).
