Sinister Saturdays

This is a series of posts dedicated to the long-running mail-order company Sinister Cinema, in tribute to its founder, the legendary Greg Luce. Since 1984, Sinister Cinema has specialized in weird and wonderful genre films both domestic and imported. Second features from the golden age of cinema, Mexican and Japanese monsters, and Eurospies, are just some offerings from Sinister’s huge, eclectic catalog. Many of these titles have been unseen on this hemisphere since the days of UHF. These films would likely remain obscure, were it not for the diligence of Sinister Cinema, sourcing perhaps the same film prints you originally saw at the drive-in or on late-night television! Greg had considered retiring in 2020, but as of now, Sinister Cinema is still active! As far as we’re concerned, Sinister Cinema has performed a public service in rescuing these films from blurry memories. As a “thank you” to Greg, Sinister Saturdays is an ongoing series, sampling some of the wonderful discoveries found in the Sinister Cinema catalog.
