Pearce’s Film Reviews
224 Films have been rated or reviewed by Pearce.
- Big Bird Cage, The (1972)
- Even this relatively light–hearted entry in the genre should be kept away from polite company.
- Big Doll House, The (1971)
- There's a scene early in this when a female prison guard conducts an "internal examination" of an incoming prisoner then wipes her fingers on her shirt. That sets the tone. Extremely grody but well made.
- Women in Cages (1971)
- Any movie with Pam Grier is worthy of two stars, even this one.
- 99 Women (1969)
- The movie that kicked off the entire Women In Prison craze of the '70s when it unexpectedly went to the top of the US box office, it's tame compared to later movies and a great introduction to the unique charms of Senor Franco.
- Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1966)
- If you don't love this movie we can't be friends.
- Caged Heat (1974)
- One of the best movies to come out of one of the worst genres.
- Mask of Satan (Black Sunday) (1960)
- Well yes, I would probably succumb to the undead kiss of Barbara Steele, why do you ask?
- Spirits of the Dead (Histoires Extraordinaires) (1969)
- Five stars for the third segment. Four stars for the second segment. One star for the first segment. Average rounded up to four stars. Just skip the worthless Vadim part and pretend it's a two–parter.
- Vampyros Lesbos (1970)
- Proud to have the adoption certificate for this on my wall, it's my favourite screen version of Dracula.
- Bloody Judge, The (Trono di fuoco, Il) (1970)
- It's funny how Christopher Lee pretended to get mad over all the times that Jess Franco put him in pervy movies like this, yet continued going back to work with him again and again and apparently was quite friendly with him off–screen.
