TENEMENT
Roberta Findlay's urban assult flick is a pale shadow of the great films she made with her husband Michael in the 60s. Slow and poorly paced there is not a lot to enjoy here except for the excessive amounts of blood spilled with each death. The film also contains a rather nasty rape scene and those who have read the text interview with Roberta on the Alpha Blue 70s Porn Directors series, will know that this kind of action is a personal fetish of hers!
TO THE DEVIL A DAUGHTER
I love this film, sure the ending is awful and the monster baby looks like a rubber glove but there are some great images on display through out the film. The acting is excellent on the main but the thing that stands out to me is how much bigger the film is compared to all other Hammer films with it's use of location and bigger named cast. Sadly, it was Hammer's last horror but shows the way that the studio could have progressed.
DEVIL'S DUE
70s XXX smut, cashing in on the then vogue of all things Satanic. Neither good as porn or horror.
