Pearce’s Film Reviews

239 Films have been rated or reviewed by Pearce.

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.
Witchfinder General (The Conqueror Worm) (1968): This kicked off a very dubious series of movies about women being tortured as witches but is one of the few of the entire cycle to have a conscience and not play it for pervy thrills.
Bad Lieutenant (1992): Dropping this an entire star because Led Zeppelin's lawsuit removed the Schooly D track that originally drove this movie... now only people who saw it at the cinema will remember that.
Devils, The (1971): Release the uncut version, Warner Brother, you cowards!
Bucket of Blood, A (1959): The best beatnik movie ever made, this minor classic is 65 minutes of fun.
Ghost Stories (2017): All build–up, no pay–off.
