4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!
Rest in Peace, the great and iconic John Saxon.
Here are….

Hi, everyone!
Welcome to another special edition of Lisa Marie’s favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation film trailers!
Today, for her music video of the day post, Val took a look at the video for Josh Ritter’s The Evil Eye. I’m the one who suggested that video to her. Little did I know that it would lead to her watching a handful of films, all of which were either titled Evil Eye or, at the very least, has a connection to eyes that might have been evil!
So, in honor of Val’s commitment to her craft, I decided that today’s six trailers would be for six movies that Val either watched or mentioned in her review of The Evil Eye! Unfortunately, it turns out that not all of those movies have trailers on YouTube. And I already shared the trailer for Mario Bava’s The Girl Who Knew Too Much (a.k.a. Evil Eye) last week.
Let’s see what I did find!
I could not find a trailer for Queen of Evil. However, when I did a search for “Queen of Evil Trailer,” one of the trailers that came up was for Bruka, Queen of Evil. I’ve never heard of this film before but it looks like something some of our readers would like.
2. Manhattan Baby (1982)
However, YouTube did have a trailer for Lucio Fulci’s Manhattan Baby, which was also known as Evil Eye. Actually, Evil Eye was probably a better title for it. I’m one of the few people willing to defend this film and even I’m unsure just what exactly Manhattan Baby is supposed to mean.
3. The Green Inferno (1988)
Val’s search for information about The Evil Eye led her to Bloody-Disgusting.com, which featured an infamous review of The Green Inferno. Here’s the trailer for 1988’s Green Inferno, which should not be mistaken for Eli Roth’s Green Inferno.
4. The Green Inferno (2015)
Here’s the trailer for Eli Roth’s The Green Inferno, which I have long defended as being a political satire.
5. The Wicker Man (1973)
Among the films cited as an inspiration for The Evil Eye video was the original Wicker Man! This is a classic, even without bees.
6. Evil Eye (2014)
Finally, though I couldn’t find a trailer for 1975’s Evil Eye, I did find a trailer for this 2014 Evil Eye!
Hi there and welcome to this week’s special October edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation film trailers!
My latest edition is dedicated to Eurohorror! Some of these trailers are not going to be safe for work. Of course, you probably shouldn’t be watching trailers at work in the first place. But, in case you are, don’t let your boss catch you. If you do get caught and lose your job, feel free to leave a comment under this post and let us know about your experience. We love to hear that we’re changing lives.
The Awful Dr. Orloff was directed by Jess Franco and is considered to be the first Spanish horror film. It was also an international success that helped to launch Franco’s amazingly prolific career.
2. The Girl Who Knew Too Much (a.k.a. Evil Eye) (1963)
This film, from director Mario Bava, is considered to be the first true giallo film. When it was released in the United States, it was retitled Evil Eye.
3. The Shiver of the Vampires (1971)
From French director Jean Rollin comes this story of vampires hiding in grandfather clocks. (Actually, there’s more to it than just that. But that’s the scene that everyone seems to remember.)
4. Tombs of the Blind Dead (1971)
Arguably, this was the first Spanish zombie film.
5. The Grapes of Death (1978)
Again from director Jean Rollin, this is the first French zombie movie.
6. The Living Dead Girl (1981)
Finally, one last trailer from Jean Rollin. You might not be able to guess it from the trailer but The Living Dead Girl is actually one of the most poignant films ever made.
