An interesting blend of a Psycho inspired slasher with a hardcore sex film, A Woman Tormented is actually a pretty excellent movie. Tara Chung steals the show as Karen, the woman with deep psychological problems who is very much a ‘black widow’ who does in every man who crosses her path. She gives an inspired performance, and we’re actually able to believe that she is as messed up as the story would like us to think, as she curls into the fetal position in the shower to avoid the voices she knows she shouldn’t listen to. Seeing her masturbate with almost self destructive glee after giving in to her bloodlust and returning to the shower to clean herself off solidifies her state for us, and we know she’s completely off her rocker.Read More »

Directed by Hollywood legend Orson Welles (Citizen Kane, The Stranger, The Lady from Shanghai), Touch of Evil is a film noir masterpiece whose Hollywood backstory is as unforgettable as the movie itself. Starring Charlton Heston (The Big Country, Ben-Hur), Janet Leigh (The Manchurian Candidate, Psycho) and Welles himself, this dark portrait of corruption and morally compromised obsessions tells the story of a crooked police chief who frames a Mexican youth as part of an intricate criminal plot. With its iconic ticking-bomb opening shot, shadowy cinematography by Russell Metty (Spartacus), evocative score by Henry Mancini (Arabesque) and memorable supporting turns by Akim Tamiroff (The General Died at Dawn) and Marlene Dietrich (Desire), Touch of Evil is a stylistic triumph that stands the test of time.Read More »
