Tweet by Peter Nielsen “The Lure of gold can make a man do anything! Anything!” During the opening credits of this movie, we see someone being dug out of, what appears to be, a collapsed mine shaft.

Somewhere in the back of my mind there’s a little voice telling me I saw this in the theater, but I honestly don’t remember. I might have, but I’m not sure, so don’t hold it against me. What…

Peter’s Retro Movie Review: Body Double (1984)
Tweet by Peter Nielsen Jake Scully is a struggling actor going between his acting classes and a starring role in a low budget vampire movie. One day he has a little “incident” at the set, caused by his claustrophobia and the director sends him home for a rest. In the small part as the director I think you’ll recognize Dennis…
