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 Gulag is an extremely well-produced TV movie originally made for HBO before wandering out to obscurity-land.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

HENRY THOMAS IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE FROM TWO KILLERS JUST FLOORBOARDS ABOVE HIM IN "CRAWLSPACE" (2022)

 

Henry Thomas is a conscientious plumber. His wife (Olvia Taylor Dudley) gets on his case about being too nice and extending too much credit to his customers. He goes out to a job and to his misfortune two bad guy poachers have decided to stash a big bag of cash that day in the crawl space under the house. When they find out he's down there literally crawling between them and their money, a big cat and mouse game ensues and it's not pretty for all involved. 

A satisfying enough thriller, what I like to call a "good two-star movie." Thomas is good but nothing along the lines of All The Pretty Horses or some of his other work. Filmed in Oregon, currently streams on Paramount, Fubo, DirecTV, Showtime and VOD, on sale right now for $5 on Vudu.  2.0 stars/5
