Crime, Triple-Time! + Quick News Cuts
Blade is a 1973 detective thriller / serial killer thriller that may be the worst shot film of the seventies, whereas ring of Death / Un detective (1969) is a forgotten, seriously underrated gem that’s the best thing in Code Red’s double-feature DVD. Also added to the review mix is a review of Fred Bongusto’s Un detective soundtrack, which frankly grooves, plus news bits including vintage 3D coming to Blu-ray, and Clive Barker’s Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut comes to Rue Morgue’s Cinemacabre this month at the TIFF Bell Lightbox!
