The Nightcomers (1971)
Feb 3, 2001The Turn of the Screw Prequel
Michael Winner makes a prequel to the classic, multiply filmed psychological ghost story The Turn of the Screw but erases all the ambiguity in his clodding and unsubtle direction
Michael Winner
Death Wish (1974)
Jun 15, 2008Vigilante Film
The original vigilante film that spawned several sequels. This is crudely aimed at one's red-blooded nature – to get one enraged at the lowlifes that would attack a man's family and then cheer on seeing said lowlifes being blown away
The Sentinel (1977)
Feb 15, 2000Haunted Apartment/Gateway to Hell
Michael Winner directs a film about a sinister apartment building but his typical crude and heavy-handed style fails to conjure anything remotely scary
Death Wish II (1981)
Sep 4, 2003Vigilante Film
The first of several sequels to the hit Charles Bronson vigilante film, the first under Cannon Films. While the first film had some interesting things to say, this mostly repeats the original while taking some turns to the nastily exploitative
Scream for Help (1984)
Feb 1, 2012Psycho-Thriller/Slasher Film
Often wrongly pegged as a slasher film, this is more of a 1940s psycho-thriller with slasher sensibilities. The notorious Michael Winner directs with typically crude and unsophisticated effect
Dirty Weekend (1992)
Feb 15, 2003Woman Takes Revenge on Men
Enjoyably sordid Michael Winner film in which Lia Williams is an woman who starts to eliminate the abusive men in her life. As to be expected with Winner, this gets trashy in quick course
