B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - GULAG (TV 1985)

This month B-Movie Gazette dives into the prison genre and who doesn't like a good prison flick? Gulag is an extremely well-produced TV movie originally made for HBO before wandering out to obscurity-land. David Keith is in top form as a sportscaster and while covering an event in Moscow is framed by the KGB. Unable to prove his innocence a prison escape is now inevitable, just how will he do it? Malcolm McDowell co-stars, this is a good one folks! 2.75 stars/2.75

LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (2021) - EDGAR WRIGHT COMBINES MID-'60's LONDON AND GHOSTS IN MIRRORS STORY TO CREATE AN INSTANT PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR CLASSIC


Ellie aspires to be a fashion designer and is accepted into a school in London. Her mom was in the same profession but died and every now and then Ellie sees her in a mirror. She rents a room when she gets to London and every night when she sleeps she crosses over into the mid-60's where she lived as another woman. Or did she? What other kind of ghosts may be in that room? 

If that sounds like it might be your cup of tea then don't pass go and don't collect $200, see it! Visually stunning with echoes of Polanski, Hitchcock and I'll throw in a little Midnight In Paris. Thumbs up, way up on this one, nice to see there's still a filmmaker with imagination out there!  4.0 stars/5
