Master filmmaker Robert Wise began his career with horror classics The Curse of the Cat People and The Body Snatcher for producer Val Lewton. His career would go on to include westerns, thrillers, science fiction and musicals, earning him two academy awards for Best Director. In 1963 he returned to his Lewtonian roots with the classic ghost story The Haunting. In 1977 he returned once more with the supernatural thriller Audrey Rose. All Bill and Jane Templeton wish for is a quiet, peaceful life with their 11-year-old daughter Ivy. But their dreams turn to nightmares as Ivy is besieged first by terrifying ‘memories’ of events that never occurred… and then by a mysterious stranger who stalks her every move, and claims that Ivy was in fact his daughter in another life. Released in the wake of The Exorcist and The Omen, Audrey Rose is an intelligent, heartfelt drama that approaches it’s subject with an open mind and seriousness of intent that caught many off guard but typifies Wise’s previous genre forays. Sensitively played by a sterling cast at the top of their game, this underseen gem deserves a place on the shelf of any fan of classic horror.

This excellent British horror gem is a must. Based on the chilling tale by M. R. James. Cool. From 35mm. ALSO: The Fall Of The House Of Usher (1928) Herbert Stern, Hildegarde Watson, Melville Webber. When a wayward traveler arrives at the Usher mansion, he discovers that the family members are living under the effects of a horrible curse.

It’s not often that we just go bonkers over an actor’s portrayal in a film, but Patrick Magee’s performance in What Big Eyes in our humble opinion is one of the finest acting jobs by an actor in a horror film that we’ve ever seen in the more than three-and-a-half decades of Sinister Cinema. He is AMAZING. An RSPCA officer is horrified when he discovers that pet shop owner Magee has been receiving and conducting bizarre experiments on wolves, searching for proof of lycanthropy in humans. His guinea pig? Himself. Like Lugosi in The Raven or Rathbone in Love from a Stranger, there are moments where the intensity of Magee’s dialogue will pass right through the TV screen and creep down into your spine. Wow! Everyone else in the cast excels as well, especially Madge Ryan as his mentally battered daughter. The final scene in this short British made-for-TV feature is very memorable.
STARRING: Patrick Magee, Madge Ryan, Michael Kitchen, Gerald James, Bill Dean

McClure and his Coast Guard helicopter pal come upon a shipwreck in an area known as “the Devil’s Triangle.” When McClure is lowered to the ship he finds dead bodies all over the place.

Unfortunately, a cable snaps on the helicopter’s rescue basket and McClure and Novak are stuck on the boat until the chopper can return. She tells a grisly tale of what happened.

One of the most remarkable films we’ve seen in 30 years of business. An archaeological team unearths the body of an ancient witch and pulls a stake from her rotted corpse. Soon a beautiful naked girl is found in the witch’s grave. The villagers are sure she is the ancient witch returned to life. She soon sets about bewitching men in the most erotic ways imaginable, without resorting to full-blown sex. The scenes of Mane dancing nude were intended to be mesmerizing—and they are! The film’s overall visual images are great. The blending of a classical-style score with a flowing sense of eroticism is haunting. In Finnish with English subtitles. 35mm.
