March is giallo month. Let the madness begin!

Can't vouch for it since I haven't seen it yet, but I just read good things about The Killer Must Kill Again. It comes out next Tuesday at Netflix.

Great ideas for theme months. I seem to be doing a Noir month by default.

Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, I thought it might be a fun way to catch up on some essential cinema that I've missed out on. Better, anway, than continuing to watch crap like "The Forgotten" and "Cellular," although I may have to still do that to an extent just to make my wife happy.

Oh, yeah, Twitch of the Death Nerve is also called Bay of Blood. I think. Is that right?

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie isn't the same thing as The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, is it? These Italians and their ker-razy titles.

You're correct on both counts, Mr. Kza.

Extra bonus points: "Twitch" also goes under the names "Ecology of a Crime", "Carnage" and "Last House on the Left II". And "Corpses" is best known in America (or was, at any rate) as "Don't Open the Window". Sheesh... '70s exploitation cinema can get complicated...

Well then, I'll say that, while definitely not the best zombie movie by a long mile, Manchester Morgue certainly has its moments.

I liked it quite a bit.
