Aka Flesheaters. Bill Hinzman (the original Night Of The Living Dead zombie) directs and stars in it. Its one of those 'so bad its good' films, the acting is just so bad but i loved it, 7/10

Crawlspace -- 8.5/10; This is proof that non-narrative filmic elements can easily overcome a ridiculous narrative. Kinski looks the part.

The Mutilator -- 3/10; A generic slasher with a most unmemorable baddie.

THE MANITOU 1978

I have seen this movie before but really had forgotten a lot of it. Tony Curtis stars as a "psychic" whose girlfriend appears to be giving birth to a 400 year old medicine man via a huge tumour on her neck.

Tony Curtis appears so out of place in this movie that it oddly works. He enlists the aid of a Native American to help him try to defeat the "shaman" and save his girlfriend's life.

Without giving TMI, the manifestation of the shaman was pretty cool. Over the top, but still gave me the creeps.

Breeders -- 4/10; An alien life-form needs female human virgins to reproduce. Their mating with unchaste victims results in undue schlockiness.

The Legacy (1978) -- 4/10; Hunting a Satanist's legacy should've been much more entertaining than this. Anyway, it was good for a few laughs, as when a nurse (who has the ability to transform into a cat) is pushed down the stairs and makes cat noises all the way down.

Frogs (1972) -- 1/10; If you like repetitious close-ups of frog faces, this one's for you. At least the poster is cool.

Ghostkeeper (1981) -- 8/10; This atmospheric slow-burner makes such great use of its winter setting that I actually felt cold watching it. Although its first twist is rather clunky, its second strikes dead center and will confuse the average rube who skips to the end. The woman who played the old kook sold me from the first. If The Shining and The Skeleton Key had a low-budget love child, it would be Ghostkeeper.

Checked this out after reading your post. Found it on YouTube. I love horror in cold, isolated settings. You might like BLOOD RUNS COLD 2011.

It sounds familiar, but I'll check it out. Did Ghostkeeper have enough meat on its bones for you?
