Insomniac Theatre: Horrors of Spider Island (1960)

Ah, the 1960's- the era of exploitation films. Ah, the 1960's- the era of cheesy, campy horror movies. Ah, the 1960's- the era of "Horrors of Spider Island"...

Review: Death Kiss

If you're considering Death Kiss as a weekend watch with a couple of liquor drinks, and you think there's something familiar about its star, Robert Kovacs, you're right. The man looks a hell of a lot like the late, great Charles Bronson. I'm sure writer/director Rene Perez was counting on that when he cast Kovacs in this flick, which is itself an homage to the kind of movies Bronson made when he'd set up shop at Cannon Films, a company that churned out a lot of this stuff.
