I watched this again a few weeks ago, for the first time in ages. I have to say that it's slipped a bit in my estimation. It's still pretty good, mind you, but just never quite seems to get over the...

Personal take:Just watched John Krish's nice UNEARTHLY STRANGER (1964), from Sinister Cinema, for the first time in years. Coincidentally, I saw MGM's recent issue of BURN WITCH BURN (also a long time...

After reading the novel as a teenager, I waited decades to see NIGHT OF THE EAGLE...but in comparison, the film left me largely disappointed, particularly in how passive it made Tansy's character (who...
