Lodge Kerrigan’s Keane is a dark and unsettling study on a character who you aren’t sure is simply crazy or is a distressed person truly searching for a missing daughter.

Mike's Murder 1984
A neo noir thriller that largely flew under the radar when first released. Mike’s Murder is an extremely underrated film that has its haunting and tense moments. Winger is attractive and likable in the lead role. Darrell Larson turns in a convincing performance as Mike’s junkie friend. The score by John Barry (who largely replaced most of Joe Jackson’s music upon the film being re-edited) is effective. Let’s hope the original version surfaces sometime soon on a Blu-Ray release from a boutique label like Kino Lorber or Arrow Video.

From the get go, this one reminds one of a Cronenberg film, either David or Brandon. Has some elements of Cosmatos’ later film Mandy. The score has some echoes of Tangerine Dream. A stylish art house sci-fi thriller with plenty of psychedelic visuals, some gore, and a fine performance from the female lead. Highly recommended.

His directorial debut is Her Name Was Christa. A creepy and perverse psychological…
