There is a special place in my heart for Italian horror films. No matter how bad they are, I have always enjoyed the boldness and cohesiveness with the elements on display. With Stage Fright (a.k.a. Deliria), there is no exception. The story consists of a group of actors rehearsing for their opening of a stage musical performance about a serial killer when an actual…
On his way to Mexico to see the child he didn't know he had, an alcoholic mess of a human stumbles into a small town's yearly tradition of hunting humans. Warren is played by Martin Dingle Wall, a poor man's Kurt Russell/Bill Paxton, who struggles with his alcohol demons throughout the movie. His performance was not bad, and reminded me a bit of Snake…

As shops close and properties are bought up by a single real estate company, three teens discover a plot by vampires to take over the Bronx. While it's not the best movie ever, I did like the pacing and adventure. I also found it to encapsulate the spirit of Stranger Things and The Lost Boys, which is something I didn't know I needed last…
