At Midnight I'll take Your Soul
This is a black & white film out of S. America from the mid 60's. It revolves around a sinister character named Coffin Joe who will stop at nothing to get the woman he desires. For it's time, the gore is probably great, but not so much nowadays. The FX are pretty poor but this is still a fairly entertaining & unique piece of work. I don't exaclty know who I'd recommend something like this to but for diehard horror fans, it's worth checking out, if for no other reason than you rarely find S. American horror at all, let alone from the 60s.

This movie is like a comic book put to film. (Was it actually a comic book before it became a movie?) Anyways, Sam Raimi shows why we all tend to adore his work in this dark, violent tale of vigilante justice. A tragic hero, a nasty villain, a good story, good action, good acting and nice direction, and even a Bruce Campbell cameo. What more could you ask for from an early 90's comic style action film?
