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.
Director: Evan Lee
Starring: Christopher Lee, Larry Justin
Runtime: 85 min
This film has it ALL! Drunk panty sniffers AND drunk Christopher Lee (looking like last nights party.) Loser druggy gang tortures a family, killing everyone but Dad who ends up in a coma. He ineptly tries to use the Occult for revenge and gets in way over his head... A rambling revenge movie oozing with weird 70s energy. The Hex enthusiastically approves! As if that weren't enough, Ed Wood makes what has to be his last cameo before leaving this mortal coil.
Quality: Good.

aka Alice Goes to Acidland
Director: John Donne
Starring: Colleen Murphy, Buxx Banner, Patty Roberts
Well, it sure seems like a long time since we posted any acid films.....Lo-and-behold!!!! The wildest, swingin' nudie cutie we have ever seen! Not only that, but the most 'naked' example of the sexploitation as scare film - so the squares can justify getting a little kinky too! This one starts off as your standard N.C. but with acid and pot standing in for the booze......then it switches from B&W to color and the shenanigans really kick into 'high' gear!!!! Its well made, clever, sexy as hell...and a Swiftian tribute to Charles Dodgson in the vaguest of ways (at least in our minds)!
While we are on the subject - we HIGHLY recommend Anna Biller's genius swingin' 60s tribute - Viva (Unrated Edition). You will never find a more detailed love letter to the genre....

Starring: Kirk Scott, Sue Lyon, Christopher Lee, iz Ross
Another Christopher Lee SciFi opus from his mid 70's 'black out' years...how weird it must be to come across pictures of yourself starring in feature length scifi films and go "WHAAAAAA??????" You know that was some gooood Scotch!
This film has enough padding to weather a Piano drop, but the fact than an alien invasion scheme centers around a convent full of nuns more than makes up for it...BRILLIANT! No one EVER suspects the Nuns! The film wears the 70's on its sleeve, but the build up does pay off...in a Sunn Classics sorta way....speaking of which, Andrew Belling did the soundtrack for this and Hangar 18 and they are both amazing feats of synth mayhem!
This film really makes you explore things like what a drink-off between Christopher Lee and Jack Palance would have really been like....Watch this and the '79 Shape of Things to Come back-to-back with a handle of Dewars and you will probably get a good idea!

Join our hard bolied all-American hero as he hits the Guatemalan jungle to investigate his partner's disappearance. See him kill a leopard (or "tiger" as they're known to the natives) with his bare hands. Watch as he orders his Carta Blanca "very cold, please". But can he save the virgin from the clutches of the savages who still worship the old gods?
Director: Leo Garen
Starring: Keith Carradine, Scott Glenn, Hilary Thompson, Gary Busey, Robert Walker Jr., Dan Haggerty, John Carradine
Wow, whats not to like? Turn of the century period piece centered around a WW1 era Motorcycle gang (!?!?!) that stumbles into a rural Americana web of occult. An initial lighthearted tone gives way to a creepy and psychedelic witchcraft horror fable. That its called 'HEX' only sweetens the pot! It also has an outrageous cast in Keith & John Carradine, Scott Glenn, Gary Busey and Dan Hagerty! The perfect double feature with Psychomania!

aka One-Way Ticket to Hell
Director: Bamlet Lawrence Price Jr.
Starring: Barbara Marks, Kurt Martell, Robert A. Sherry, Bamlet Lawrence Price Jr.
Teenage...Devil...Dolls. An odd little slice of 50's teensploitation and drug paranoia. No dialog and amusing editing. Reefer and marital strife. Goofballs and goofy teenage bikers. Incredibly annoying high pitched squeling that apparently represents heroin withdrawal and Cassandra, our teenage devil doll, caught in the middle.
