Catriona MacColl - Movies

Afraid of the Dark 1991 2 stars

    R, 91 min.
Genre: Drama / Thriller
Director: Mark Peploe
Cast: James Fox, Fanny Ardant, Paul McGann, Clare Holman, Robert Stephens, Susan Wooldridge, David Thewlis, Ben Keyworth, Catriona MacColl, Hilary Mason, Sheila Burrell, Frances Cuka

  His mother, Miriam (Fanny Ardant), is blind, and 11-year-old Lucas' (Ben Keyworth) eyesight is deteriorating to the point where he faces eye surgery. In the meantime, he wanders around the neighborhood, believes that someone is committing brutal assaults on blind people, and begins his own investigation. Is Lucas living in the real world, or is it his imagination?

The Gates of Hell 1980 bomb

      N/R, 93 min.
Genre: Foreign / Horror
aka: City of the Living Dead

Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Christopher George, Catriona MacColl, Carlo De Mejo, Antonella Interlenghi, Daniela Doria, Janet Agren, Robert Sampson, Michele Soavi, Venantino Venantini

  "Extreme Gore" would be an apt title for this Lucio Fulci offering as people attempt to close the gates of Hell after the gates had been opened by a priest who hung himself. The story is not important–it's the blood that counts. I think I liked the drill through the head the best (or was it the upchucking of intestines?).

The House by the Cemetery 1981 2 stars

    R, 78 min.
Genre: Foreign / Horror / Mystery
aka: Zombie Hell House

Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Catriona MacColl, Paolo Malco, Ania Pieroni, Giovanni Frezza, Silvia Collatina, Dagmar Lassander, Giovanni De Nava, Daniela Doria, Gianpaolo Saccarola, Carlo De Mejo, Kenneth A. Olsen, Elmer Johnsson, Ranieri Ferrara, Teresa Rossi Passante

  OK, we're talking cult classic here. The Boyle family (Catriona Macoll, Paolo Malco, and Giovanni Frezza) moves into a house near Boston and finds out quickly that there is an old man (Giovanni De Nava) in the basement who has kept himself alive for over 100 years–but he needs body parts to stay alive. A supreme helping of gore, as body parts fly.

Seven Doors of Death 1981 2 stars

    N/R, 88 min.
Genre: Foreign / Horror / Thriller
aka: The Beyond

Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Catriona MacColl, David Warbeck, Cinzia Monreale, Antoine Saint-John, Veronica Lazar, Anthony Flees, Michele Mirabella, Gianpaolo Saccarola, Al Cliver, Giovanni De Nava, Maria Pia Marsala, Laura De Marchi, Lucio Fulci, Cicely Browne, Roberto Dell'Acqua

  Louisiana, 1927. At a hotel a man is violently killed with his murderers accusing him of being a warlock. Now a young woman, Liza Merril (Catriona MacColl) in the 1960s is restoring the hotel. Terrible things happen as the restoration progresses at this hotel that sits on one of the Seven Gates of Hell. Really gross from a master (Lucio Fulci) of the low-budget genre and is not for all.
