The Howling (Special Edition) [DVD]

Based on the best-selling novel by Gary Brandner, this horror film makes effective use of the classic werewolf tale. Dee Wallace stars as Karen White, a popular female reporter in Los Angeles who cannot escape the horror of a traumatic experience that she suffered while trying to capture Eddie Quist (Robert Ricardo), a dangerous serial killer. When her psychologist (Patrick Macnee) recommends a retreat to "The Colony," up the Northern California coast, she reluctantly agrees, hoping to recover from her nightmarish visions. Karen and her husband (Christopher Stone) arrive at the remote retreat and are shocked at the bizarre behavior of the motley crew of residents. Lurking in the ominous Northern California woods, blanketed by fog, strange sounds can be heard at night, luring the members of the retreat into the forest. In anguish, Karen stumbles on the deadly secret of the community: when sexually excited, they turn into werewolves! The horrified journalist tries to escape from the retreat, battling the lair of leering lycanthropes in a fight for her life. Superb special effects add to the picture, with several shocking human-to-monster transformation sequences.

Bluebeard [DVD]

In 19th century Paris, someone is murdering young women and dumping their bodies into the Seine. That someone is Gaston (John Carradine), a handsome, brooding painter and puppeteer who strangles his models with a black tie. Jean Parker plays Lucille, a dressmaker who finds herself drawn to Gaston's tortured soul after she attends his puppet opera of FAUST. Gaston's shady art dealer (Ludwig Stossel) knows he kills women, but conceals evidence because his paintings sell. When Gaston's latest victim is recognized in one of his works at an exhibit, inspector LeFevre (George Pembroke) takes steps to trap the mysterious painter. This is an amazing, low-budget work by acclaimed cult director Edgar G. Ulmer. Filled with repertoire costumes and painted backgrounds, the stagey feel nonetheless adds to the claustrophobic air of melancholy that hangs over the film, as if the cast were all puppets themselves in some cheap production. It's not a particularly scary film, but it offers plenty of excitement and has moments of beauty, and Carradine is effective as the quietly tortured, magnetic artist.

Boogeyman/The Return of the Boogeyman

THE BOOGEYMAN: A strange, memorable film from horror dilettante Ulli Lommel, whose long and multifaceted career in the industry is highlighted by this project, which combines the best elements of HALLOWEEN and THE EXORCIST. Susanna Love (BLANK GENERATION)--Lommel's wife--and Nicholas Love (WILD AT HEART) star as Lacey and Willy, young adults haunted by a terrible incident in their past, when as children they killed their mother's abusive lover. The incident took place in front of a mirror, and now Willy, who has become mute, is terrified of them. Lacey, for her part, is occasionally possessed by an evil spirit, despite her efforts in psychotherapy. She decides to revisit her old home, where, looking into the same mirror, she sees the dead man walking toward her. Terrified, she breaks the mirror, apparently releasing the evil spirit, which then goes on a rampage, brutally killing anyone who touches a shard of the mirror. THE RETURN OF THE BOOGEYMAN: The final film in the BOOGEYMAN trilogy is an unconventional indie shocker. Annie (Kelly Galindo) is tormented by dreams of a man with no face, and she soon realizes that she is having premonitions of actual crimes this man will commit. With the help of a few friends, including her psychiatrist, Annie attempts to locate the criminal before he strikes again-but are they simply playing into his hands?

Finding herself turned down again and again for roles she could have easily landed just a few years earlier, Lynn is becoming increasingly desperate to return to regain her youthful appearance. So, she jumps at the opportunity when a scientist who is working with Venusian microbes on a "fountain of youth" serum approaches her to test it. Lynn is thrilled when it appears to work but, unfortunately, it also periodically changes her into a hideous bug monster that seems to have a predilection for Hollywood producers who have snubbed Lynn.

The Grapes of Wrath [DVD]

John Ford's memorable screen version of John Steinbeck's epic novel of the Great Depression--often regarded as the director's best film--stars Henry Fonda as Tom Joad. After having served a brief prison sentence for manslaughter, Joad arrives at his family's Oklahoma farm only to find it abandoned. Muley (John Qualen), a neighbor now nearly mad with grief, tells Tom of the drought that has transformed the farmland of Oklahoma into a desert and of the preying land agents who have plowed under the shacks of the sharecroppers. Joined by former hellfire preacher Casy (John Carradine), Tom finds his extended family, including Pa (Charles Grapewin) and his indomitable Ma (Jane Darwell), packing their ramshackle truck to seek work in the fields of California. As the family treks across the country, their dissolution begins with the deaths of Tom's grandparents at close intervals. When they arrive in California, the Joads find only an abundance of poverty-stricken migrants like themselves and little in the way of potential work. Yet, ever resilient, they maintain their dignity, hoping for the best. Among the talented cast, Fonda does perhaps the best work of his career, as does Qualen in the film's most haunting sequence. Director of photography Gregg Toland captures the suffering and the weathered, luminous nobility of the Joads and the other uprooted, drifting families, creating striking images equal to the best work of Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans. In a stirring film that stands as a microcosm of the depression experience of millions, Ford gives poverty a human face in a way that was rare then and even rarer in the decades to follow as Hollywood films with a sense of class consciousness dwindled like a species nearing extinction.
