Aenigma (1987), a fine late Lucio Fulci film (I do like late Fulci). Seriously surreal and twisted. Unsettling and perplexing but in a way that is original and distinctive. It takes place in a nightmare world in which reality plays little part.

The Curse of the Hidden Vault (1964) is a typical early Rialto Edgar Wallace krimi. In other words it's hugely entertaining. Some good plot twists and visually impressive and imaginative, especially the wonderful hidden vault complex sets. Plus, Klaus Kinski!

Sergio Martino's The Island of the Fishmen (1979). Prison ship survivors are marooned on an island and they're up against monsters, voodoo and mad people. It's a glorious romp done with style and energy and a slight steampunk vibe. Great fun.

So Sweet...So Perverse (1969), an Umberto Lenzi giallo starring Carroll Baker. With delightfully twisted nasty plot twists coming thick and fast. You can't take anybody in this movie at face value. Decadence, betrayal and murder. Great stuff.

The Man with the Glass Eye (1969) is a late entry in Rialto's German Edgar Wallace krimi cycle. Maybe not the equal of the classic early krimis (and with a bit more blood) but rather enjoyable with some nice slightly surreal touches.

Umberto Lenzi's Seven Blood-Stained Orchids (1972) is sometimes seen as a very late krimi but it's more of a giallo. It was based on Cornell Woolrich’s novel Rendezvous in Black. It's fairly clued and it ticks the right giallo boxes.

Murderers Club of Brooklyn (1967), 5th of the German crime movies (set in the US) featuring G-Man Jerry Cotton. This time he's faced with a kidnapping. Some nasty twists in this one. Stylish, energetic and fun with a nice 60s vibe.

Just Jaeckin's Madame Claude (1977), both an erotic film and a political thriller about a very high-class call-girl ring, run by a rather sympathetic madam. Combines voyeurism and paranoia. A gorgeous, provocative and intelligent movie.

Special mention should be made of Serge Gainsbourg’s score, and of Jane Birkin’s wonderful vocals.

The Doll of Satan (1969), an Italian gothic horror film with some krimi and giallo elements. A woman inherits a spooky gothic castle and has visions of dungeons and torture with herself as victim. It's OK but needed a bit more style and energy.

The Red Circle (1960), the second of Rialto's German Edgar Wallace krimis. There's a blackmail racket, a question of inheritance, a sexy bad girl and lots of murders. Well-paced, well-crafted, stylish and wildly and deliriously entertaining.

Lips of Blood (1975) marks the end of the first phase of Jean Rollin’s career, in which Rollin tried to combine unconventional erotic horror with full-blooded surrealism. Its commercial failure forced him to change direction. A great movie.

Bruno Mattei’s Shocking Dark (AKA Terminator II, 1989) manages to be a rip-off Aliens, Terminator and Alien. It's not so much an homage as grand larceny. Which is fine by me. I love these Italian rip-off movies and this one is great fun.

Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville (1965), a weird disorienting dystopian sci-fi secret agent hardboiled pulp arthouse B-movie homage. The plot makes no sense but it's a strangely enjoyable oddball little movie quite unlike any other.

In Luciano Ercoli's interesting 1972 giallo Death Walks at Midnight a model under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug sees a vision of a horrific murder. She finds out such a murder really happened and thinks the murderer is out to kill her.

Slithis (AKA Spawn of the Slithis) is a low-budget 1978 US sci-fi/horror movie. A slime monster from the deep is on a killing rampage in California. A good old-fashioned monster movie that doesn’t try to be too clever. Stock up on beer and popcorn and you'll have fun.

Jean Rollin’s Lost in New York (1989), a precursor to his excellent Two Orphan Vampires (1997). This is a movie obsessed with time and with the pop culture of the past that Rollin loved.

There are two girls, lost in time and unable to find each other.

Subtle surrealism, dream-like, haunting. Brilliant movie.

Roger Vadim's Love on a Pillow (1962) is a psycho-sexual melodrama starring Brigitte Bardot. It deals with freedom versus responsibility, free love versus marriage.

This is Bardot in a more serious complex role (moving away from her early romantic comedies) and she's superb. Great movie.

Luigi Cozzi’s classical music/punk rock horror film Paganini Horror (1988). A girl punk band chooses a Paganini composition as its next single, forgetting the legend that Paganini sold his soul to the Devil. Daria Nicolodi stars and co-wrote the film.

Good visuals and fine horror moments. Flawed but fun and with cool ideas.

Footprints on the Moon (1975) is a delightfully off-beat slice of Italian movie weirdness. Alice (Florinda Bolkan) has been having dreams about astronauts dying on the Moon. A mix of giallo and surrealism. Lots of blurring of the lines between dream and reality. Interesting low-key colour palette.

Killing Car (1993), a very odd untypical Jean Rollin movie, but a very good and interesting one. An Asian woman has a car and a gun and she makes use of both. She goes on a killing spree.

There's Rollin surrealism here, but it's a gritty scuzzy harsh surrealism.
