Also, there’s this:
…And All Through the House from Amicus Films’ anthology Tales from the Crypt (Freddie Francis 1972)
Not to take away from Black Christmas as 1) the entire film TftC isn’t holiday themed and 2) Jolly Saint Nick here may not have the onscreen body count to properly qualify as a slasher. But still a fun watch.
And why not throw in this:
I suspect the movie isn’t very special, but a cute trailer/premise.
Denzel was robbed of an oscar for Malcolm X. Training Day was… fine… I guess. But his turn as Malcolm was perfection… The scene at the end with A Change gonna Come playing is probably one of my favorite all time scenes from any film…
And yeah, that this is Washington’s best role is one of the few hills I WILL die on…
Devil in a Blue Dress is my favorite. It kills me that he’s done 3 Equalizer movies but no more Easy Rawlins mysteries. If you’ve never read the books they are excellent.
Agree. Possibly the only retro-PI-type movie that didn’t feel fake.
