Review

Vic Morrow stars as Michael Cardiff, a professional assasin who seeks revenge on those responsible for his past prison sentence. By disguising himself as a black South African, he sets his plan while foiling the police. Van Dissel plays the cop, Roos, who is dedicated and stops at nothing.

Nicely filmed in South Africa complete with period music, clothes, and cars. I recommend it highly to those who enjoy films set in Africa. (The Wild Geese, Dogs of War, Fatal Assasin) Good action scenes and vintage depiction of apartheid Suid Afrika.

Review

This film takes place in Greece and revolves around a brother and sister; Jeffrey and Sarah. At the beginning of the movie Sarah has become engaged to be married to a guy named Nikos. Her brother, who is somewhat of a playboy, has become involved with the mob by taking out a loan.

The only problem is that Jeffrey is possibly about to be disinherited when his father makes out a new will and if that happens he won’t have the money to pay back the mobster, Angelo. This is a really big problem because Angelo actually borrowed the money to loan Jeffrey by borrowing it from the syndicate.

As the film progresses, anyone who had any contact with Jeff and Sarah’s father’s new will are beginning to turn up dead. You begin to wonder who is responsible for the murders when a boat is found with a couple of bodies in it. There is a local cop who is investigating the deaths and begins to formulate his own ideas about what is really going on. George Hamilton portrays the character of Jeffrey.

Review

As creepy suspense movies go, this is one of the best. How could it go wrong, when the movie is shot in a home that was once a funeral home? The story starts out with a 16 year old girl who travels to her grandmother’s house; the former funeral home. The grandmother’s husband, a mortician has disappeared and she finds herself forced to turn her home into a bed and breakfast because of financial problems.

Not long after she arrives, Heather begins to see a boy from nearby who takes great pleasure in telling her all about the gossip and tales of her grandmother’s home. At first, Heather doesn’t believe any of it but when she begins to help her grandmother get the house ready she becomes concerned when creepy things begin to happen. There are creepy voices down in the cellar and then the door starts to open all by itself. Things get even worse after they actually open their doors to guests. The guests begin to mysteriously disappear and then some of them are actually found dead.

The film was directed by Canadian William Fruet. In case you’re not familiar with him, he directed an excellent film called Death Weekend, which centers around rape and revenge. There are some Alfred Hitchcock overtones to this film, but it’s definitely not a rehash of the same old thing. There are some rather startling surprises in store for both the young widow and the viewers as the film proceeds, mainly locked away in the cellar of the former funeral home.

Lesleh Donaldson plays the main role. You might remember her from films such as Curtains and Happy Birthday to Me. The grandmother’s character is especially creepy, adding to the overall effect of this movie. This film was also billed as Cries in the Night.

Title - Ransome Money
Starring - Broderick Crawford, Rachel Romen, Gordon Jump, Randy Whipple
Directed by - DeWitt Lee
Producer(s) - Grenade Curran, Jah Wheeler
Screenwriter(s) - Trudy Hoagland

Review

The film flows from the kidnapping and ransoming of a rich woman’s son, set against the drama and intrigue of the Las Vegas Strip. Broderick Crawford portrays the lead detective in the case, attempting to get to the bottom of the mystery and recover the son.

As one can expect, nothing is really as it seems and some twists and turns along the way will leave you wondering what could possibly happen next. Vegas fans will be intrigued with the Vegas photography, portraying the way Vegas looked three decades ago before the glamorous and ritzy casinos of today made their way across the Strip.

Great characterization, a strong storyline and some comedic relief moments all add up to a wonderfully satisfying film.
