So let’s see, that’s:
- Kristy McNichol in a dream-vs-reality psycho-thriller directed by Alan J. Pakula (and the poster is fantastic!)
- An extremely offbeat-looking doggy-dunnit, starring James Garner and Katharine Ross
- Another of Hammer’s post-Psycho mind-warpers (you may remember I enjoyed Hysteria)
- A nasty-looking noir featuring the brilliant Dana Andrews and some heavy psychological undertones
- Troy Donahue + Reincarnation + A killer on the loose!
I’ve not seen any of this lot but, unfortunately, Warner won’t send their DVDs to the UK so it may be a while before I do. Something to do with region-coding or something. Grr. If you’ve seen any of them, be sure to let me know what I’m missing (if anything).
Let’s hope I don’t have similar problems catching up with the new “slasher TV series” Harper’s Island, as previewed by Slasher Speak, which promises “13 episodes, 13 murders!”.
And, if you are in a slashery mood today, you could head over to Retro Slashers and read my recent articles, Great Slasher Mysteries Volume 1 and Volume 2... Who knows? Maybe you can solve ’em!

They Only Kill Their Masters is a bit of let down, but of course I would interested to hear any opinions you would have should you see it!
I have Dream Lover but have never seen it. My die hard Kristy McNicol friend (Yes, they exist!) would kill me if he knew! :)
Thank's for pointing this out Ross!
I was hoping Warner was going to make this available to stores like the one I buy for, but it seems like they are going to be exclusive for awhile.
I'll try to hold out until they do, but I am really tempted to buy these 4:
DREAM LOVER & JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
You know, for a good Kristy McNichol fix. Both VERY different movies but both equal 80's goodness.
ONE ON ONE
I mean who can't resist the 70's films of Robby Benson?!
OXFORD BLUES
I'm a sucka for all things 80's & teen. Plus former cutie Ally Sheedy's in it. And it's Oxford! Can't. Resist.
Good picks there, Michael. I hadn't spotted Just the Way You Are on the list, but I LOVE that film! Even more reason why Warner need to get these available to the UK.
Amanda, I had a feeling They Only Kill Their Masters might not be that good... *Sigh!*
Just The Way You Are blows You Light Up My life out of the water.
Long live the cinema of Kristy McNichol!
