| The Missionary |
| Ex-Python Michael Palin wrote and starred in a little overlooked gem in 1982. Stuffed with the best of British thespians, The Missionary tells the story of a well-meaning man of the cloth who’s into saving souls in a very unusual way. Camus adopts the position… |

| An Accidental Studio |
| In 1978, Lord Delfont of the British film company giant EMI read a film script and sputtered in fury at what he thought was its blasphemous content. What could be done to resurrect one of the funniest films of all time? Enter a Beatle. Camus reviews An Accidental Studio… |

| Bloody Terror: Bloody New Year |
| In his final review from Indicator's Bloody Terror: The Shocking Cinema of Norman J. Warren 1976-1987 box set, Gort enjoys some elements of a film that ultimately falls some way short of its potential, and rounds off his coverage of what is definitely one of the multi-disc Blu-ray releases of the year. |

| Bloody Terror: Inseminoid |
| In his fourth review of films in Indicator's Bloody Terror: The Shocking Cinema of Norman J. Warren 1976-1987 box set, Gort revisits a film he was never a fan of and still finds things to gripe about, but also some unexpected positives, notably in the subtext and Judy Geeson's performance. |

| Blinded by the Light |
| If left-leaning, working class hero Bruce Springsteen really was ‘The Boss’ then the US might stand a chance of redeeming itself. Blinded by the Light is the story of how one man’s universal art can soar over cultural hurdles. Camus takes that long walk… |

| Bloody Terror: Terror |
| In the third of his reviews from Indicator's Bloody Terror: The Shocking Cinema of Norman J. Warren 1976-1987 box set, Gort is plunged headlong into a lively, sometimes logic-free but well cast, enjoyable and visually attractive explosion of horror borrowings with an authentically giallo feel. |

| Bloody Terror: Prey |
| In his second review from Indicator's Bloody Terror: The Shocking Cinema of Norman J. Warren 1976-1987 box set, Gort gets to grips with a film that doesn't unfold as expected and proves to be a multi-layered and disarmingly involving relationship drama in sf-horror clothing. |

| Bloody Terror: Satan's Slave |
| In the first of his reviews from Indicator's Bloody Terror: The Shocking Cinema of Norman J. Warren 1976-1987 box set, Gort is surprised by just how good Warren's first venture into the horror genre is, and there's much to explore and enjoy on this first disc in the collection. |

| The Incident |
| Disparate passengers are terrorised by two dangerous hoodlums in the car of a New York City subway train at night in Larry Peerce's taut and terrifying 1967 blend biting social drama and nail-biting thriller. Slarek jumps on board with Eureka's Blu-ray and wonders fearfully what he would do if this was for real. |

| Bloody Terror and the recent scarcity of new reviews |
| Reviews have been a bit thin on the ground of late. In our latest blog, Slarek briefly outlines why and explains why our upcoming review for Indicator's new Norman J. Warren box is going to be posted a little differently to the site norm. |

| The Legacy |
| An American couple who unexpectedly become guests in an English country house where odd things are afoot in the first feature from Jagged Edge director Richard Marquand. Gort finds things to enjoy in a film that sometimes falls victim to its borrowings and the familiarity of some of its story components. |

| Dumbo |
| Let’s say you have a successful back catalogue and an odd but business driven aversion to total originality. So you throw technology at the old stories. The Jungle Book worked. Easy executive decision, right? Camus "be done seen 'bout everything…" But does Dumbo fly? |

| Coming Home |
| The destructive impact of the Vietnam War on those who fought in it is movingly explored in one of director Hal Ashby's most critically and commercially successful films. Slarek revisits a gripping, brilliantly performed work from a golden era for socially conscious American cinema on a fine Blu-ray from Eureka. |

| FM |
| A successful Los Angeles radio station comes into conflict with its corporate owners over advertising plans in cinematographer John A. Alonzo's light-hearted, music-driven drama. Slarek likes how it all begins but is less enthralled by where it subsequently takes him. Great soundtrack, though! |
