20. Herschall Gordon Lewis: The Godfather Of Gore (Something Weird); Excellent documentary about the man who created the "splatter" genre. This year has seen some great docs come out and this is one of them.

19. Dr. Black & Mr. Hyde (VCI) Bernie Casey stars as a scientist who changes into a white killer in this blaxploitation film based on the Jekyll & Hyde story. Good performances, but gad what a title.
