Fulci’s A Lizard in a Woman's Skin (1971) scratches EVERY giallo itch until the skin breaks and soured blood pools under the ragged fingernails. Lesbians boudoirs, psychotic dreams spilling into reality, vivisected dogs, bloodthirsty hippies, and a, motherfucking, nightmarish kaiju swan.

#blackandwhitefilm of the day: Meet John Doe, 1941. Frank Capra's brilliant satire of corrupt journalism and politics. Gary Cooper is the down-and-out pushed by ambitious Barbara Stanwyck to sell a dodgy dream for a despotic leader on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social at 1.15am youtu.be/9j3gdbdnoEk?...
Night 22 of #31nightsofhorror: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) remains really shockingly effective indie horror.

In the 80’s mainstream Hollywood movies were still comfortable letting their heroes be deeply flawed. In 48 HRS. (1982) Nick Nolte’s cop is rough around every edge but the film lets him change. They were messy, selfish, and human, which is exactly why they felt relatable. #EddieMurphy
