What Waits Below (1984)

UK
aka Secrets of the Phantom Caverns
Director: Don Sharp
Starring: Robert Powell, Timothy Bottoms, Lisa Blount, Richard Johnson, Anne Heywood, A.C. Weary, Liam Sullivan, Jackson Bostwick, Richard Beauchamp

All right! The Hex brings you Don Sharp - Hammer Studio veteran (The Kiss of the Vampire, The Face of Fu Manchu , Rasputin: The Mad Monk etc.) and Psychomania mastermind - and his low-budget 80's action creeper What Waits Below! Well what? What does wait below? Well, you'll just have to wait. It builds slowly but be patient brothers and sisters...it pays off and the solid cast, creative plot and special effects make it well worth the wait.

Hydra (1975)

aka Zaat
Director: Don Barton

How can a film this bad just feel soooo right? Could this be the Holy Grail of bad horror films? We're not sure but if you can show us something worse we'll give you a medal.

Planet of Horrors (1981)

Director: Bruce D. Clark
Starring: Eddie Albert, Erin Moran, Zalman King, Robert Englund, Sid Haig

The best of the US Alien ripoofs and the hands down best exploitation effort that came out of the New World Pictures waning years equals a film that has grown to legendary status....James Cameron on B Unit and a modern wet dream cult cast - Eddie Albert, Zalman King, Robert Englund, Sid Haig and Erin Moran in a great Happy Days stereotype busting role. This movie was a late night cable mainstay in the early 80s and has aged like a fine wine. Super bloody and super grim...this legitimate SciFi epic is due for a revisting to get the respect it so richly deserves...but don't let all this gushing about the excellent acting, story, tone and alien existentialism take away from the fact that this is a hardcore exploitation flick of the first magnitude...the extended alien monster rape scene alone will clear the place of the people with weaker constitutions. GIve this one a serious watch - you'll be glad you did...

Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971)

Italy
aka 4 mosche di velluto grigio
Director: Dario Argento
Starring: Michael Brandon, Mimsy Farmer, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Bud Spencer

Hold on kiddies, 'cuz this is it!!! Dario Argento's elusive Four Flies on Grey Velvet--his one major Giallo film that remains unreleased to this day...why? Only some suits in a smokey room know for sure but it damn sure isn't for quality reasons. This has long been the Hex's favorite Argento slasher film - sure others have more gimmick and blood...but this one has pure dripping style BABY! A perfect mix of go-go party and psychological horror! Oh, and did we mention the best film ending since Planet of the Apes? Got your attention now? Yea, we thought so...co-written by none other that Luigi Cozzi of Starcrash fame!

Mysteries from Beyond Earth (1975)

Director: George Gale
Narrator: Lawrence Dobkin

Weird Phenomena Documentaries...while always an exciting prospect at the Hex, there is always a bit pf apprehension prior to first screenings. The flood of these films at the height of the genre's popularity in the mid-70s lead to what some would call a large, gaping fissure in quality control. This is why we are proud to bring you Mysteries from Beyond Earth. This one stands out from the chaff--the sheer number of topics it covers prevents it from ever dragging on a technical level...but it also approaches all the subjects at hand with an earnest seriousness and appreciation. TV character actor extraordinaire Lawrence Dobkin (who also took a stab at Pontius Pilate with In Search of Historic Jesus) hosts the piece with a gravitas that makes you feel like you are part of a 2am gentleman's debate of the topics in the study with 25 year old Scotch and Cuban cigars. Telepathy & Psychokinesis, Bigfoot to Black Masses, UFOs & Atlantis, Kirlian Photography, Cloning, Cryonics...and that's just the beginning of this awesome film. Are we indeed the new Atlantis?

Satan's Triangle (1975)

Director: Sutton Roley
Starring: Kim Novak, Doug McClure, Alejandro Rey, Jim Davis, Ed Lauter, Michael Conrad

An excellent entry into the 70’s Bermuda Triangle craze featuring a fantastic cast and narration by Rod Serling. A made for teevee movie that came from teevee! A normal no-no here, but this one deserves viewing. Eschewing the normal UFO/triangle mythology, this has a thick haunted doomsday aspect that slowly builds and sets a great tone. What would you do when faced with certain doom?
