Furs on Film – Bluebeard (1972)

We return to what this blog is known for, reviewing fur fashion in terrible movies. This week, it is the later Richard Burton vehicle Bluebeard. Burton went from one of the most respected dramatic actors in Hollywood to closing out his career with a guest spot on The Fall Guy. This is also a period…

Furs on Film – Rabid (1977)
Well, I’m not waiting for next Halloween, so let’s do this. This is the second film from noted horror director David Cronenberg. Unlike many horror films I’ve reviewed, this one has the distinction of being: “mid,” as the youths say these days. So, let’s get Rabid with our devotion to late ‘70s zombie pandemic horror. …

Furs on Film – The Possession Of Joel Delaney (1972)

Let the horror themes continue. Up next: possession. I was so ready to make Exorcist knock-off jokes about this movie, but it had the audacity to be released the year before The Exorcist. It even contains an exorcism of sorts. So get your fill of the furs in The Possession Of Joel Delaney, with a…

Furs on Film – Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975)

Time for the soft announcement that this is now just an Edwige Fenech stan blog. Well, not quite yet, but suffice to say, after Asso, I started… prioritizing my review queue. Sadly, this is not as good as Asso, but I suspect I may have inadvertently started with the greatest Edwige Fenech fur film. No…

Furs on Film – The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976)
Since it is 2022, this update will be a little more “underground” than I’d like. During the Internet’s infancy, there was far more discussion of this particular little flick, and I suspect it is because the scenes within perhaps… awakened something? Well, “suspect” is not the correct term, “was claimed explicitly” is probably more accurate.…

Furs on Film – Baba Yaga (1973)

The concept of Baba Yaga has been mentioned in everything from John Wick to DnD. One might argue that is the power of good myth, but I’m going to argue that’s the power of the public domain. If the real Baba Yaga does show up one day, she’ll bring along many lawyers. Baba Yaga –…

Furs on Film – At Long Last Love (1975)

Finally, I get around to posting that notoriously bad film set in the 1930s starring Burt Reynolds and Madaline Khan. Didn’t you already do that, you ask? No, silly, I’m talking about the musical one: At Long Last Love. When I say notoriously bad, I mean it. City Heat was just run-of-the-mill bad; this one…

Furs on Film – Daughters of Darkness (1971)

Artsy ‘70s lesbian vampire flick plus furs? I’ll take one, please. Daughters of Darkness is probably a little too artsy and deconstructive, but I also watch Marvel movies for fun, so I’m probably not allowed to have an opinion on matters cinematic. I think the filmmakers wanted the “vampire’s” nature to be subjective. There are…

Furs on Film – Magnum Cop (1978)

If The Bitch “helped to revive Joan Collins’ flagging career,” according to Wikipedia at least, where was that career flagging? In cheap Italian exploitation fare. Yes, let’s take a quick trip to Austria, where we find Dame Collins on the set of Magnum Cop. Magnum Cop – The Film & The Furs This is a…

Furs on Film – Ritual of Evil (1970)
I am trying something a little different. In an effort to update this blog with some additional regularity, I have decided to drop a “duration” requirement. I’ve toyed with this recently with the Christmas Vacation post and the Cruella posts. The latter was just a shitpost, honestly. It exists purely for my amusement. So, many…
