The Broken Land 1962 2 stars

    N/R, 60 min.
Genre: Western
Director: John A. Bushelman
Cast: Kent Taylor, Dianne Darrin, Jody McCrea, Robert Sampson, Jack Nicholson, Gary Snead

  A sadistic sheriff (Kent Taylor) uses the power of his office to hurt everyone he encounters. Jack Nicholson plays one of his victims.

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?).

aka: Go to the Light

Director: Mike Robe
Cast: Linda Hamilton, Richard Thomas, Piper Laurie, Ned Beatty, Joshua Harris, Brian Bonsall, Rosemary Dunsmore, Steven Eckholdt, Robert Sampson, Madison Mason, Jack Tate, John Wesley

  Based on Chris Oyler's autobiography, this made-for-TV film concerns a mother and father (Linda Hamilton and Richard Thomas) who discover that their nine-year-old, hemophiliac son, Ben (Joshua Harris), has contracted AIDS through a transfusion. They are determined to make each remaining day of his life a good one.
