No. I've only seen The Wild Life
and its an 80's teen dramedy. Great flick and one of my favorite Randy Quaid roles.

Seen the same two as you-From Beyond The Grave and the awesome Perfume Of The Lady In Black. I'll check out Cast A Deadly Spell.

I'll check out Cast A Deadly Spell.

Its enjoyable, in a silly sort of way. It helps if you're a fan of pulp fiction (the genre not the film). The also a sequal called Witch Hunt with Dennis Hopper playing Hp Lovecraft (well a detective of that name).

I have a copy of Perfume Of The Lady In Black too. I must get around to it. I'm not really a huge giallo fan (which I presume it is).

Oh no its not like giallo's its completely different it is often mistakenly labelled as a giallo though it is more of a horror film. There's no killer in black gloves or detectives trying to solve a case. Be warned it is very weird and mysterious (plus points for me) though so don't expect it to make a lot of sense. This film is hugely underrated and a true hidden gem of Italian horror.
