  Robert Crumb is known for his disturbing, yet compelling, underground cartoons: his most famous works made counter-cultural icons out of Mr. Natural ("Keep on Truckin'...") and Fritz the Cat. Terry Zwigoff delves into the odd world of the cartoonist in his documentary film Crumb, and the picture that emerges is not always pretty--at moments, it's almost repellent--but it's a fascinating glimpse into a very strange mind. Interviewing immediate family--Crumb has one suicidal brother, one semi-psychopathic brother, two sisters who declined to be interviewed and a tyrannical mother--Crumb begins to look a bit saner. Given his surroundings, it's remarkable that he has survived so well. His hostilities toward women may turn some viewers off but his wife, Aline, seems to be a grounding point and she provides a solid counterbalance to the man. No one shies away from discussing incredibly intimate things (namely, sex!), which explains much of R. Crumb's cartoons. This documentary can definitely be considered a masterpiece for the cult crowd and, as for the rest of us, it's sure to make us feel a little better about our own lives! --Jenny Brown

  HOUSE OF WITCHCRAFT is part of a four-part movie series made for Italian television under the umbrella title House of Doom. Legendary Italian horror maestros Umberto Lenzi and Lucio Fulci each contributed two films for the series: Lenzi made HOUSE OF LOST SOULS and HOUSE OF WITCHCRAFT while Fulci offered HOUSE OF CLOCKS and SWEET HOUSE OF HORRORS. Lenzi's second contribution to the series centres on a young man with a recurring nightmare in which he is running away from a pursuer and reaches the shelter of an old house only to have an ugly old woman boil his head in a big kettle. Sensing his underlying stress and anxiety his girlfriend suggests he take a relaxing holiday and the two drive to an old estate that belongs to her family. The nightmarish chills become reality when the young man reaches the house and realizes it's the same one from his dream...Lenzi refrains from his usual gore and splatter style and instead delivers an almost old-fashioned story bathed in chilling atmosphere and classic Freudian fears of witchcraft and haunted houses.
