We focus on noted genre filmmaker,
Curtis Harrington on the podcast this time. We start off with his first feature, 1961's
Night Tide, starring a very young
Dennis Hopper as a young sailor that falls in love with a mysterious woman who seems to leave a trail of bodies in her wake. We follow that up with 1973's
The Killing Kind which features a bravura performance by
John Savage as Terry, the son of legendary actress
Ann Southern. Terry is finally out of prison for a horrific crime, and is finding his head full of thoughts of revenge. These are very different films, but both are compelling and worth searching out. The Killing Kind, in particular, was truly a revelation, but is packed with problematic moments and a list of trigger-warnings as long a mermaid's tail.
