Reviews of three 1980s shockers of varying quality: John Schlesinger’s deliciously trashy occult thriller The Believers (Twilight Time), Sam Raimi draws blood in Josh Becker’s Thou Shalt Not Kill… Except (Synapse Films), and Klaus Kinski reprises Nosferatu in Vampire in Venice (One 7 Movies).
Anthony Quinn stars in two flawed but worthy films from 1969: Daniel Mann’s A Dream of Kings (on DVD from Warner Archive) and Stanley Kramer’s The Secret of Santa Vittoria (on Blu from Twilight Time).
Burt Lancaster stars in Stanley Kramer and Abby Mann’s classic postwar drama Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) + John Frankenheimer’s WII art heist thriller The Train (1964), both on Blu via Twilight Time.
Reviews of kissing cousins documentaries Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon (Anchor Bay) and Super Super Alice Cooper (eOne).
Reviews of three soundtrack albums: Marc Streitenfeld’s After the Fall (Lakeshore Records), John Lunn’s Electricity (MovieScore Media), and Laura Karpman & Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum’s Regarding Susan Sontag (Lakeshore Records).
