The Night Stalker (1971)
This is what inspired Chris Carter to write the X-Files. This well made pilot film features Darren McGavin as a wise-guy reporter with a straw hat trying to prove the existence of and then destroy a vicious modern-day vampire (Barry Atwater) stalking Las Vegas. This Dan Curtis project used a good director, John Moxley (Horror Hotel), and a tight and witty script based on a Jeff Rice story. Annandale Hotel 7.30pm DonationJamie and Aspa collect rare films, are conspiracy archivists and host an underground film night in their home/theatrette. (Venue details for Mu-Meson Archives)
… Bought I Am Cuba (DVD) from Tower Records today. This 1964 film first came to our attention via a snippet of cool-looking footage in a documentary about the Cuban Revolution.
From Phil Hall’s review:
Made during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, this bizarre production was actually locked away by the humorless commies in both Moscow and Havana because the finished film was so strange and, quite frankly, un-Communist. Recently rediscovered and brought to the US for the very first time, I Am Cuba is a unique celebration of cinematic excess, Cold War paranoia, and Caribbean rhythm.
Can’t wait to see it. BTW, we’ll have to wait till we’re back in Sydney. No DVD player here …
