220 Films have been rated or reviewed by Pearce.

Pontypool (2008): Kiss is kill
Fascination (1979): Why yes, I would let Brigitte Lahaie scythe me, why do you ask?rn
Crazies, The (1975): The humour in this was so dark I thought I'd gone blind. I particularly like when Richard France develops a cure and gets too excited about it.
Blue Sunshine (1975): Man I wish the acid was still that good by the time I got hold of some
Brood, The (1979): Cronenberg's scariest by far, and his first time working with really good actors (Samantha Eggar and Oliver Reed, shame about the main guy)
Lisa and the Devil (1972): I'm sure David Lynch never saw this movie but if he did, he'd blush.
Baron Blood (1972): Incredibly rote script enlivened by Bava's knack for unstoppable atmosphere and his macabre sense of humour, as well as Elke's garish wardrobe and talent for screaming. Joseph Cotten isn't trying though, he looks bored.
Hatchet For The Honeymoon (1970): Starts as a slasher and turns into a ghost story. Fabulous performance from Laura Betti, who was Pasolini's Muse.
Beastie Boys Video Anthology (2000): Whatever else this is, the dvd is one of the best uses of the medium ever.
Danger Diabolik (1968): Fabulous score, great female lead, incredible visuals, so much better than its sister movie Barbarella because this one was made by an actual director instead of a vapid himbo.; Blu-Ray $24.95
