William Wallace's ex*****on in the movie "Braveheart" is gruesome, but it was nothing compared to what happened in real life. After being sold out by a fellow Scot, Wallace was arrested, put on trial for treason, and sentenced to being hanged, drawn, and quartered. Considered a cruel form of ex*****on even by medieval standards, Wallace was stretched, strangled and revived, his entrails and ge****ls removed, and his body cut into four pieces — before his dismembered head was to be put on display.

Though this particularly brutal death was meant to dissuade others from taking up arms against the English Crown, it had the exact opposite effect. The following year, Robert the Bruce raised a further rebellion that eventually won independence for Scotland, making him the first king of Scots.

MARTIN.
Directed by George A. Romero.

George A. Romero: he's more than just zombies. I know that you know that, you're savvy and learned. I'm simply pointing it out to the total horror noobs who only know Romero from his three (AND ONLY THREE) (okay, maybe Land of the Dead is kind of fun to watch once, but THAT'S IT) great zombie films: Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Brunch Day of the Dead. Though the films are often overlooked, Romero has explored horror in ways far removed from those undead shuffling people-eaters. One such film is 1977's Martin.

Set amidst the depressed, crumbling landscape of fading steel town Braddock, PA, Martin tells the tale of...well, of Martin (John Amplas), who believes himself to be a vampire. His elderly cousin Cuda also believes that Martin is a vampire. It's been a family curse for generations, and while Cuda allows Martin to live with him, he also makes the young man a promise: "First I will save your soul...then I will destroy you." But is Martin actually a vampire? Or is he simply a kookadook?

Romero isn't interested in definitive answers as much as he is in deconstructing the vampire genre and deromanticizing the myths. Regardless of Martin's true nature, he's no gothic-flavored bloodsucker from a Hammer production; nor is he a terrifying, otherworldly creature à la Salem's Lot's Mr. Barlow. Garlic, crosses, and sunlight give Martin no pause. He's incapable of mesmerizing victims into submission, so he relies on drug injections to do it for him. He has no fangs, so he wields a razor blade. Martin's reality is completely unlike the bodice-rippers and monsters we're accustomed to calling "vampire."

Martin is rife with the same types of simple metaphors and symbolism that Romero incorporates into many of his films. It's an examination of sexual repression and insecurity as well as a swipe at religion, particularly the ways in which staunch religious beliefs can twist a person or a family. The "family curse"–what Cuda claims is the curse of Nosferatu–can be seen as any kind of "otherness" or perhaps it's merely hereditary mental illness.

Aside from all of this, Martin works fairly well as a straight-up horror movie. Because the attacks rarely go as smoothly as Martin plans, they're prolonged and all the more shocking as his victims fight back. While it's easy to feel sympathy for poor, confused Martin, there's no doubt that he is a monster. Whether he's of the mythical or the mundane variety, though, that's for you to decide.

THE FLY (1958).
The Fly is the film that made Vincent Price a horror film star because of its critical and box office success, even though his performance here is understated and much less noteworthy than in his flamboyant roles. Director Kurt Neumann ("Tarzan and the Amazons"/"Rocketship X-M"/"Son of Ali Baba") keeps things tense, restrained and appealing. He bases it on the short story by George Langelaan and it's scripted by James Clavell, who up until his death in 1994 was better known as the author of best-selling Asian themed novels like Tai-Pan (1966) and Sh**un (1976).

This entertaining fantasy film has become a popular cult classic, but also a film that has been often held up to ridicule and scorn. It manages to draw a fine line between black humor and the taking of its absurd tale seriously. That it plays it straight with mock seriousness becomes both the film's strength and weakness. It asks us to believe in something that is ludicrous, but is winsome because it's so unpretentious and the characters are all good joes just trying to make the world a better place to live in that we unquestionably root for them.

The film opens in Montreal as Helene Delambre (Patricia Owens) calls her brilliant scientist husband Andre's (Al Hedison) kindly businessman brother Francois (Vincent Price) to tell him that she has just killed Andre by crushing him on an hydraulic press, in the factory the brothers are partners in. Inspector Charas (Herbert Marshall) handles the case and after a few days Helene tells her incredible story of why she murdered the husband she loved when there were no marital problems. Andre was conducting an experiment in his basement lab with a machine he invented that enables humans to travel while "disintegrated" anywhere in space at the speed of light. He first tested it on a saucer and then on a newspaper and then with bad results on his family cat Dandelo. Thinking he got everything right, he tries it on himself but unfortunately an undetected fly got into the machine chamber during the experiment and there was a foul-up of the atom transfer. Andre now has the head and the claw of a fly; the fly has the white head of a man and a human's arm instead of one of its claws. Clad in a black hood to cover his fly head and unable to speak, Andre communicates with Helene through written notes. He tells Helene his only hope is to find the white-headed fly and try another transmission experiment. When the fly proves elusive, Andre comes up with the su***de idea that will keep his experiment a secret so others won't be foolish enough to try to mess with nature in such a daring way.

The inspector has a problem believing this story and is about to arrest her for murder, until Helene's young son Philippe (Charles Herbert) points out such a fly exists in their garden and is stuck in a spider's web. When the inspector and Francois approach it, the fly cries out "Help me, help me!" just before an insect devours it.

There's something truly fly about this unparalleled fly story that zaps you right in the old guts.
