An excellent Psychological thriller ! If you like Hitchcock, you'll love this Dario Argento film.

This review is for a different format. Great "giallo"
This is one of Dario Argento's first films. Not very gory but quite suspenseful, a very interesting murder mistery, it leaves you wondering through the whole film and evolves into a great ending. I strongly recommend it to everyone, not only to Argento's fans.

Bird With The Crystal Plumage review
$19.99 
Lucio Fulci's LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN earned the director a measure of infamy because of a very believable scene involving disemboweled dogs. So believable, in fact, that Fulci had to prove before a judge (with special effects man Carlo Rambaldi) that their dogs were, in fact, fake. A giallo that ranks among the director's best films, the movie stars Silvia Monti as Deborah, a woman who has disturbing dreams about murdering her neighbor. After she relates them to her therapist, her neighbor is actually murdered, exactly the same way she was in Deborah's dreams, leading to a police investigation and some strange revelations.

LAST FLIGHT OUT: Ann Williams (Bobbie Phillips, SHOWGIRLS) is a missionary doctor working in Alto Risco, a small village deep within the Columbian jungle. As violence in the area escalates and drug runners and guerillas close in upon the village, Ann refuses to leave, knowing that her place is with the innocent civilians who need her help. But Ann's family back home is growing increasingly worried, and her father (Cliff DeYoung, SUICIDE KINGS) enlists the help of her ex-boyfriend, Dan Hogan (Richard Tyson, BLACK HAWK DOWN), to bring her to safety. A former pilot, Dan has fallen into disgrace and now works in repossession, but he agrees to fly into the jungle, hoping against hope to save the woman he once loved. Guided by a talkative missionary dentist he picks up at a fuel stop (Adriano Gonzalez, HAVANA), Dan's journey becomes one of danger and redemption. Exposed to the faith of the missionaries, Dan starts to rethink his own disbelief in the face of God's strength. This evangelical actioner is produced by the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, and in addition to its strong religious message, it boasts fine performances, high production values, and breathtaking location footage shot in Puerto Rico.
