    Scorpion Releasing (new company that offers rare/obscure/campy flicks)

    Interesting that Scorpion is considering a Twilight Time approach to some of its upcoming Blus...and that certain genre films that he knows the numbers on aren't selling all that well. It's a good company.

    If I'd have been in charge of cutting it, there'd of been nothing left. I can't imagine anything of value being in an uncut version (except more of Brian Eno's score, and how he got involved is another puzzle).

    If only the movie were that exciting...the post-sync audio is particularly grating. Only if you must.

    THE DEVIL'S MEN (which is/was on Netflix Instant as LAND OF THE MINOTAUR) is the pits, absolutely terrible, rock bottom--which has its charms. TERROR looks to be a smidgen better.

    ESCAPE TO ATHENA, THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL, and THE EAGLE HAS LANDED are all available as inexpensive, region-free Blu-rays from ITC. ATHENA is a sweet-looking BD.

    It would be nice to see a proper transfer of 92 IN THE SHADE, but it seems to have slipped into the public domain, based on the number of unauthorized DVDs I used to come across.

    Haven't seen PIGEONS but any film with Elaine Stritch as "Tough Lady" is bound to have/find an audience. Director John Dexter (a two-time Tony winner) also made I WANT WHAT I WANT, which Scorpion also released.

    1971 drug smuggling thriller, from an Alistair MacLean novel, noted for a big boat chase (which you can find on YouTube).

    But THE DEVIL WITHIN HER and NOTHING BUT THE NIGHT are far, far from Sasdy's best work--it's hard to get too, uh, "exorcised" over a movie with Joan Collins and an evil dwarf, but NIGHT is dispiriting for Cushing/Lee fans. Still thery're the kinds of films that need a patron.

    Now more than ever, given that a new version is due soon (and at Sundance now).

    DIAGNOSIS MURDER is the title of the Lee film. And the ZULU DAWN that's out there could easily be bettered.
