With a masked killer picking off college students in Perugia, Italy, four co-eds head to a lavish countryside estate to escape the danger. Unfortunately for them, the killer has followed them there, turning their getaway villa into a slaughterhouse. Widely considered to be one of the first slasher films, this excellent and quite lurid giallo from the great Sergio Martino, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, is a masterclass in both white-knuckle tension and tightly orchestrated murder set-pieces. —Matt Barone

“This isn’t a neighborhood… it’s a war.”

The city is in chaos: leather and chain clad punks terrorize the saintly residents, smashing into apartments with reckless abandon, making it impossible to walk the sidewalks in peace. Lucky for them Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) has come back to New York City, and the police chief has given him a not-subtle nudge to rectify the situation as he is uniquely qualified to do.

Like a conservative fantasy with cartoonishly brutal, soulless villains, Death Wish 3 often has the tone of a comedy as Kersey, gun in one hand, ice cream cone in another, offs baddies like lanternflies. As the stakes get higher the weapons get bigger, with a dizzyingly violent climax – 20 minutes of relentless flames and bloodshed.

Starring: Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Gabriel Leone, Sarah Gadon, Patrick Dempsey
