FEAR OF DARKNESS: August 2009
http://gammaone.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 18, 2009. The Strange Case of Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle (2005). Douglas Henshall plays Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes in this BBC production. It begins with Doyle, sick of writing "Holmes" stories, deciding to kill off his creation. The public reaction is understandably negative, prompting a row with his publisher. Added to the mix is his own wife's worsening tuberculosis. Finally, he's got a rather pretty female fan who "understands" him. Made in 1980, sh...

FEAR OF DARKNESS: September 2009

Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Daddy's Gone A Hunting (1969). There are movies I waited to see for a long time just because of the way the ad affected me as a kid. Faster Pussycat. Was one, this movie was another. Set your time machine back to 1969. I'm sitting in my dad's car listening to the AM radio. On comes this creepy commercial for a movie featuring a man reciting a nursery rhyme. Cut to a woman's scream. I knew at that moment I would someday have to see this flick. Posted by Tim Mayer. The film p...

FEAR OF DARKNESS: April 2009
http://gammaone.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 23, 2009. The Big Empty (2003). One of those movies which I seem to be the only one who likes. A brilliant ensemble comedy which has been out for 6 years, but is hard to find. I bought the only copy they had at my LackLuster. Video store, but I don't think it saw much rental. John Person (John Favreau. John takes the job, travels to the town and quickly finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy involving UFOs. Posted by Tim Mayer. Labels: The Big Empty (2003). Sunday, April 19, 2009.

FEAR OF DARKNESS: June 2010
http://gammaone.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Bloodbath in the House of Knives (2009). Regional horror films are the sort of thing every film gnostic lives for. Well do I remember the days of noting strange titles on drive-in marquees and wondering about their origin. Everyone of us used to know at least somebody who caught The Night Daniel Died. On a one-week run or discovered the original Night of the Living Dead. Bloodbath in the House of Knives. And when is the intrepid police detective going to put it all together? Lloyd ...

FEAR OF DARKNESS: July 2009
http://gammaone.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. Most of the target audience seems to have missed Leonard Nimoy's attempt at a weekly series when this pilot premiered in 1973. Which is too bad because it's quite a decent little horror flick with all kinds of psycho sexual undertones. Posted by Tim Mayer. Friday, July 24, 2009. Proving once again that you can find anything on the Internet. This is a much better picture of the poster than I reproduced in my old Fear of Darkness. Posted by Tim Mayer. Thursday, July 23, 2009. Came ou...
