THE ALPHA INCIDENT (1977)

The government finds some type of substance on Mars, and a bunch of lab scientists determine it is dangerous to the human race. Someone makes the wise decision to ship the substance via train to Denver, Colorado, with only a single guard. A bumbling train worker contaminates himself which results in a quarantine of the train station. Very well done psychological, 70s trashy B-grade effort full of great character actors and aesthetics.

The Week Before Last

RITUALS (1977)»

Five wealthy doctors (each in the middle of their own moral/workplace crisis) all go on vacation together. They are then stalked, killed, and stung by bees. A lot of people like to say this movie is good, or even a “Canadian version of Deliverance.” These people are fucking worthless piles of shit. The movie does everything it can to disengage the audience, and let’s not overlook the fact that it’s boring. Tons of boring medical talk goes on and on until only Hal Holbrook is alive.
