Yoshiaki Kawajiri's 1993 anime Ninja Scroll combines action, adventure, swordplay, fantasy, horror, outrageous imagery and perverse eroticism. Ninjas battling demons! A lady ninja whose body kills any man who sleeps with her! A must-see movie.

Lake of Dracula (1971), 2nd film in the Bloodthirsty Trilogy, starts with a dream. Then the dream events seem to really happen. And opening coffins is always a bad idea. There are vampires, and Dracula is involved in directly. Not a bad movie.

Antonio Margheriti’s Web of the Spider is a colour remake of his excellent 1964 Castle of Blood. With Klaus Kinski as Edgar Allan Poe! A good slightly offbeat gothic horror film featuring ghosts (sort of) and a nice aesthetic. Cool ending.

This will upset Fulci fans but I really disliked his 1972 giallo Don’t Torture a Duckling (1972). And in general I'm a major Fulci fan. The right ingredients and a fine cast. Florinda Bolkan is excellent. It just didn't come together for me.

The fine 1972 giallo So Sweet, So Dead begins with a very dead naked girl. Cop Farley Granger's problem is the victim was a general's wife so he has to tread carefully. More murders follow among the decadent rich. The ending packs a real punch.

Just Jaeckin’s The Last Romantic Lover (1978) may be his best film. A circus performer enters a contest to find the country's most romantic man. A strange, magical, entrancing, insanely romantic film with hints of screwball comedy.

Snapshot is a 1979 Australian thriller which is a lot more interesting than its reputation suggests. The surprises here are not the plot twists but the ways in which the characters just don’t behave quite like conventional thriller characters.

Clint Eastwood’s superb directorial debut Play Misty For Me (1971). Classic suspenser/erotic thriller. Amazing performance by Jessica Walter. I love that Eastwood did not cast himself as a conventional hero. Just a regular guy out of his depth.

The original Airport (1970) is quite different from the sequels. It isn't a disaster movie as such. It's an aviation thriller (and a good one) but mostly it's a typical Ross Hunter-produced melodrama. And it's thoroughly enjoyable melodrama.

Savage Three (Fango bollente, 1975), a nasty little movie combining poliziottesco and psycho killer movie elements. Superbly chilling performance by Joe Dallesandro combining evil and innocence. Great movie.
