The Silence of the Hams [Il Silenzio dei Prosciutti] * (1994, Ezio Greggio, Dom DeLuise, Billy Zane, Joanna Pacula, Charlene Tilton, Martin Balsam, Rip Taylor, Shelley Winters) – Classic Movie Review 5013

Writer-producer-director- star Ezio Greggio’s 1994 comedy is a horrible, laugh-free parody of The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and other killer thrillers, mainly Psycho (1960). It is opportunist and pathetic and lacks the imagination to have any […]

The Astounding She-Monster * (1958, Robert Clarke, Kenne Duncan, Marilyn Harvey, Jeanne Tatum, Shirley Kilpatrick) – Classic Movie Review 5012
