Quote from: lester1/2jr on July 24, 2026, 04:14:54 PMThe Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane (1977) - I recently read all the recent viewings reviews in both the old and the new threads. When I finished...I started over again and this was one from the second round, or maybe I didn't go back far enough the first time. At any rate, it was my own review and I liked it more this time. It's generally a "creepy kid" horror like Devil Times 5 or The Omen, but much more of a drama and the evil is more debatable (maybe just "quite resourceful kid"? )
Jodie Foster, Martin Sheen, and deceptive Matthew Modine imitator Scott Jacoby lend their talents to this low budget (mostly takes place in the living room of a house), dank, and unpredictable tale of a young (Jewish?) girl and her struggle to survive in some random town while being bothered by adults who want her to do stuff like attend school. It's hard to have an interesting movie that takes place just in a living room, so some fairly jaw dropping stuff happens, aided by the excellent acting performances.
Jodie Foster is somehow always obviously a lesbian, but so enigmatic and brainiac seeming that it somehow doesn't matter. She, of course, become a huge star in Taxi Driver circa the year before, so this is, I guess, her Corvette Summer (Mark Hamill) .
4.5 / 5

I do not like New Order (at all), but I was interested in listening to the remixes by some musicians I do like (especially Howie B). Turns out the Howie was the only one I liked. Oh well.

"Atomic Horror" was popular during the 1950s, and still lived on in the 1970s.
Terror Circus (1973)
Phase IV (1974) Cosmic radiation, but still radiation.
The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
Quote from: M.10rda on July 24, 2026, 07:27:31 AMThis one has occasionally occurred to me:
Fulci's THE BEYOND
Argento's INFERNO
Polanski's THE NINTH GATE
Michael Winner's THE SENTINEL
...All are about occult (in the literal sense) or cryptic portals to the netherworld, just hangin' out surreptitiously though more or less in plain sight. There must be more movies in this unofficial universe that I've yet to recall...
