I’ve seen this one more times than I’d care to admit, but hadn’t ever noticed the heavy giallo influences and Creepshow-esque music, which makes me appreciate it even more.
Every character in this movie is iconic, but Miguel Nuñez Jr. (Return of the Living Dead) gives one of the greatest bit performances in film history, as far as…
