30. THE FINAL WAR 1960 (SINISTER CINEMA)...A long sought after film about World War 3 and Japan has been chosen as a prime target for nuclear destruction by the commies. The print is in Japanese with no subtitles, but you'll find it easy to follow. Thanks to Sinister this long lost gem finally gets to be seen.
29. OCTAMAN/THE CREMATORS 1971/1972 (RETROMEDIA) BLU-RAY...Two of my favorite 70's cheapies come to Blu from Fred Olen Ray and Retromedia. Kerwin Matthews stars in the first one about a multi tentacled monster and Maria De Aragon stars in the second about an incinerating dune roller. Cinema magic.
28. YOUNG DILLINGER 1965 (WARNER ARCHIVE)...Here is a release that caught me by surprise. Nick Adams stars in this classic about the life of John Dillinger. Also starring John Ashley. A great film!
27. THE MAGIC CURSE 1975 (SINISTER CINEMA)...A Hong Kong/Filipino production that is about as wild as they come. A young man goes in search of his missing father and runs into many bizarre things in the jungle including zombies, black magic and a snake sect just to name a few. The action is fast and furious and never lets up. Dubbed in English.
26. DEVIL'S EXPRESS 1974 (CODE RED) BLU-RAY...Unbelievable and strange film!! A martial arts expert named Luke played by Warhawk Tanzania fights street gangs and a demon haunting the New York sewer system!! It's films like this that make Blu-ray worth having.
25. GHOST OF SIERRA DE COBRE 1964 (KINO)...Unsold TV pilot of a TV show called "The Haunted" with Martin Landau as a ghost hunter type who is called in to a most bizarre case. The DVD and Blu-ray contain both the TV episode and the expanded version released to a few theaters. Great on a cold and dark night.
24. THEN, NOW AND FOREVER: THE EVOLUTION OF THE WWE WOMEN'S DIVISION 2018 (WWE)...If you like pro wrestling you might like this. It's a three disc set spotlighting women's wrestling from the 80's up to now. There was a lot more they could have included, but it could only be so long, but I am hoping for another set soon. I am not a fan of modern wrestling, but I do think the women are the best thing the sport has going for it at this time, and yep they are a gorgeous bunch for sure.
23. SWEET SUGAR 1972 (VINEGAR SYNDROME) BLU-RAY...Excellent print of the women in prison classic starring Phyllis Davis as a loose woman sent to a prison where the usual tortures occur. The character of Dr. John is something to behold. WOW.
22. THREADS 1985 (SEVERIN) BLU-RAY...Easily the most disturbing film on this list. A nuclear war and it's after effects on people and the world is examined in this thought provoking film. Actually it may be the most disturbing film I have ever seen.
21. NIGHT STRANGLER 1972 (KINO) BLU-RAY...This sequel to "The Night Stalker" has Darrin McGavin as Carl Kolchak tracking and ageless killer in Seattle. Brilliant on all levels and directed by Dan Curtis. This is an all time classic finally on Blu-ray!!
Well next week we start the Top 20. I hope you all have a great Christmas. I know I will with "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians" and the Mexican "Santa Claus".
