About Me

Film enthusiast, occasional obsessive. I’ve got a leaning towards horror and comedy, but I love exploring a great director’s whole body of work, namely Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Wilder, Truffaut, Welles, Kubrick, Lynch, Polanski etc. Any film with a daring and unusual tone and atmosphere will keep me watching, as will anything starring Jack Lemmon, Peter Sellers, James Stewart, Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing.

You can follow my film ponderings at my website: FANTASTIC VOYAGES

Latest Update

Mario Bava

Just a few of his hugely influential films - Black Sunday (1960), Planet Of The Vampires (1965), Kill, Baby, Kill (1966), Danger: Diabolik (1968) and Bay Of Blood (1971). These have to be included here!

Hey Voyages, thanks for the follow. Gald to see more Peter Cushing love. The neglect for Horror films on here is shameful, but seems like they are catching up listing more Horror titles to the database. Thank you for submitting The Blood On Satan’s Claw btw :)

A Man Escaped

Based on the real-life memoirs of World War II Resistance fighter Andre Devigny, A Man Escaped is the most rewarding escape-from-prison drama ever made. Far more affecting than the sentimental The…  read review

Targets

Targets opens as a Gothic horror, like any of a dozen Roger Corman B-movies, with Boris Karloff stalking around his 19th century mansion. Then the lights come up and Karloff is seen watching the film…  read review
