Unsettling adaption of John Wyndham's The Midwich Cuckoos. Sanders and the lovely Shelley bring class but the creepy kids are killer. 1960.

Eddie Muller also highlights how the film creates its own internal logic, allowing it to work brilliantly within its own terms. Muller also notes that the film is a touchstone for low-budget filmmaking due to the resourcefulness of its director, Edgar G. Ulmer, who made much out of very little.

#NoirAlley host Eddie Muller praised Detour (1945) for its effectiveness despite its "low rent ramshackle feel" and "minuscule budget," arguing that the film's unique style and unreliable narrator contribute to a dreamlike nightmare quality rather than diminish its impact.

Claude Rains is good in everything. He can be menacing or charming depending on the role. #TCMParty #SUTS #filmnoir

Joan Crawford axe murderer. Irresistibly lowbrow camp classic, scribed by Bloch and adroitly helmed by Castle. They had me at Crawford. 1964.

Met this terrifying and ferocious beast at Broadway Barks.

Tiny black cat with a tiny red ribbon around its tiny neck, sitting on the back of a white woman who is wearing a white tshirt and black straw hat. The woman has the smile of a human charmed by a kitten. The kitten’s expression is that of a conqueror.

With its fabulous style, wonderfully fluid camera and early widescreen format its one of the best adaptions of the classic story. Craftily creepy fun. 1930
