Link: CAGE OF EVIL essay from WHERE DANGER LIVES
That means NOIR ALLEY is back, too--with 16 films to take viewers to the end of 2022. Three foreign films are included along the way, including two Spanish-language films, EL VAMPIRO NEGRO (Argentina) and DEATH OF A CYCLIST (Spain).
It's more of Eddie's mix-and-maybe-match approach, with a few notable highlights such as THE RED HOUSE, THE PHENIX CITY STORY, and--at last, in early December, DECOY. (Alas, that doesn't bode well for any of these films making the cut for NC Oakland in January.)
Patricia Blair seems to have caught Eddie's eye, as she'll appear in two films (CITY OF FEAR, with Vince Edwards; and CAGE OF EVIL, a film covered by the late Mark Fertig at his blog WHERE DANGER LIVES: you can read that here by clicking on the link at the bottom of the post--where you will also find a still-working copy of the film on YouTube in a very solid print).
