The Unnaturals (1969) Available July 5

4 Evil Eyes

What a great Euro-horror film this is! Five people travel by car through a howling storm. They end up in a nearby forgotten, shunned inn. It is occupied by a strange man and his wizened, clairvoyant mother. A séance ensues that shows in flashback the travelers’ involvement in sexual depredations, crime, and murder. The clairvoyant tells them that the murdered man will soon return to exact his revenge. Then, in an amazing climax, the proceedings come to a catastrophic ending—all to the sound of Pigozzi’s maniacal laughter. Pigozzi (aka Alan Collins) is superb as the sinister innkeeper who knows far more about his guests than he should. Fuchsberger is also good in a bad guy/victim role. But it’s Koch who nearly steals the show as Fuchsberger’s wanton wife. Director Margheriti develops a foreboding sense of impending doom.

STARRING: Joachim Fuchsberger, Marianne Koch, Luciano Pigozzi, Helga Anders, Claudio Camaso

The Student of Prague (1935) Available July 5

4 Evil Eyes

The setting is Prague in the 1860s. Walbrook plays Balduin, a handsome young student. He and his pals celebrate the birthday of the innkeeper’s daughter, Lydia, for whom Balduin has affections. But into the inn walks a beautiful singer named Julia. Balduin is swept away by her charms, but winning her love comes with a price; for hovering over her life is the sinister Dr. Carpis, a Satan-like figure who’s more of a human shadow than a flesh-and-blood being. Carpis “helps” Balduin obtain Julia’s affections and financial success, too. However, the price is a heavy one, and Balduin’s life soon sinks into madness and terror. This terrific movie is filled with contrasts of light-hearted gaiety and shadowy dread. Walbrook and Wieck are superb, but Loos, as the sinister Dr. Carpis, steals the show in a role usually given to actors like Boris Karloff or Bela Lugosi.

STARRING: Anton Walbrook, Dorothea Wieck, Theodor Loos, Erich Fiedler

A Place of One’s Own (1945) Available July 5

4 Evil Eyes

Mason, his wife, and their beautiful young companion move into an eerie mansion. Odd things begin to happen. It’s soon obvious that a murdered woman’s ghost is taking over Lockwood’s body. Price plays the loving doctor who’s unable to combat the uncanny powers draining her life. One great scene has Lockwood playing the piano, then suddenly breaking into a strange piece she’s never played before. Look for veteran horror star Thesiger in a small but important role. Fine acting, beautiful photography, and a subtle music score make this a very effective ghost tale.

STARRING: James Mason, Dennis Price, Margaret Lockwood, Barbara Mullen, Ernest Thesiger

The Murder Clinic (1966) Available July 5

4 Evil Eyes

Another fine Italian horror thriller, obviously inspired by The Horrible Dr. Hichcock. Berger plays Dr. Vance, a strange physician who owns a clinic for the mentally ill, located in the wilds of a gloomy forest. He’s surrounded by a bevy of pretty women, all of whom he has eyes for. Unfortunately, there’s also a hooded killer on the grounds, slashing people to death with a straight razor. There’s also a grotesque, club-footed lady living on the upper floor, whom the doctor is trying to cure of a hideously ugly face. This film is great fun and really keeps you guessing who the mad killer is, right up to the very end.

STARRING: Williams Berger, Barbara Wilson, Mary Young, Françoise Prévost, Massimo Righi

Monstrous (2022) Available July 5

Machination is a psychological horror/drama inspired by COVID-19 and its effect on mental health. Claustrophobic, intense, and led by a gripping performance by Steffi Thake, Machination is a sharp, spiralling thriller about the consequences of breathing in constant fear.

STARRING: Steffi Thake, Rambert Attard

The Golem Available July 5

4 Evil Eyes

This is a fantastic film filled with a plethora of haunting Images. It is almost too deep to describe in a simple synopsis. Let it suffice to say that the story deals with a gem-carver in old Prague who becomes entangled in a web of murder plots and other strange supernatural happenings. The Golem “creature” is not nearly as pronounced as it is in Paul Wegener’s 1920 classic, but this is none the less a powerful psychological horror film laden with mysticism, mystery, and magic. This Euro-horror gem was made around the same time as another Golem film, It with Roddy McDowell.

STARRING: Andre Reybaz, Georges Douking, Francois Vibert, Magali Noel, Francoise Winskill

Evil Night (1992) Available July 5

4 Evil Eyes

Jimmy is the typical college student who is picked on by the rich snobbish kids. A prank is carried too far, leaving Jimmy unconscious.

STARRING: Holly Aeck, Joseph Fautinos, Mark Chavez, Todd Cook

Dracula and Son (1976) Available July 5

4 Evil Eyes

Lee, in his last screen performance as Dracula, is fantastic as he swings between serious moments of horror and outright comedy. Dracula takes a mortal woman to bear his son. After he’s born, the Count turns mom into a vampire. However, when she can’t make it back to her coffin before sunrise, the Count finds himself stuck with raising the young tyke, which isn’t easy since the young vampire balks at putting the bite on people. Eventually the son decides he wants to “make it on his own” in the real world. Meanwhile dad takes the role of a vampire in a big movie production—the producers not knowing he’s the real Dracula. There are many moments that will make you laugh. Watch for a scene involving rigor mortis and another involving an inflatable doll. Lee is superb, and the film has the same kind of brilliant comedy found in Fearless Vampire Killers. A portion of the film is in English, the rest is in French with English subtitles.

STARRING: Christopher Lee, Bernard Menez, Marie Helene Breillat, Catherine Breillat

Creature from Black Lake (1976) Available July 5

4 Evil Eyes

One of the best drive-in movies of the 1970s. Two college kids come to a backwater town doing research on a “bigfoot” creature that’s inhabits a gloomy nearby swamp. Before long they find themselves caught in a sequence of chilling events, culminating with a head-to-head confrontation with the creature. Taylor and Elam are excellent, but Fimple and Carson steal the show as the energetic college kids who soon realize they’ve bitten off far more than they can chew. The final 15 minutes of this film are excellent. The film has a great music score and lots of humorous banter that helps keep the film from getting too dark. A must.

STARRING: Jack Elam, Dub Taylor, Dennis Fimple, John David Carson, Bill Thurman

Challenge the Devil (1963) Available July 5

4 Evil Eyes

Six unruly kids break into a remote castle looking for kicks. The castle’s owner, an odd white-haired man (Lee), asks them to find a missing girl hiding in the castle. Little do they know that Lee is actually a Mephistoles-like character in disguise. At this point the six set out on a search that takes them through the nightmarish corridors and staircases of the castle. They encounter massive spiders, ghosts, and a bizarre room containing a labyrinth of sheet glass and mirrors. These horrors soon lead them to near-madness before they finally can escape. Watch for the scene when two female ghosts appear behind cobweb-shrouded doorways. The orgiastic dance scene is also great fun. This may be Lee’s most unusual portrayal in a horror film. Ardisson chews up the scenery with a wild performance. Filmed in Odescalchi Castle near Rome in 1963.

STARRING: Christopher Lee, George Ardisson, Bella Cortez, Lilli Parker

Alice, or The Last Escapade (1977) Available July 5

4 Evil Eyes

A woman leaves her husband one stormy night.

The woman spends the night, but next morning she finds no trace of her hosts. Finding her car repaired, she leaves; but she soon realizes it’s impossible for her to exit the grounds. She is lost in some kind of fantastic paradox that defies reality. This is a beautiful yet subtly terrifying film with many haunting scenes. Kristel is stunningly beautiful. This film is similar to Carnival of Souls and has a great twist ending. Wow.

STARRING: Sylvia Kristel, Charles Vanel, Ferdinand Ledoux, Francois Perrot
