  • R.I.P. Eugenio Martin, 97; directed "Horror Express" (1972)

    From Lenona@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 23 14:07:38 2023
    That movie had Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Telly Savalas, for those who don't know. It has a decent rating at the IMDb.

    Martin died today, in Madrid. He also directed "Bad Man's River" and "Pancho Villa."

    Most of the obits are in Spanish. So far, the only English-language obits I've found seem to be rough translations.

    According to several, he was a big influence on Quentin Tarantino.

    "...Eugenio Martin leaves behind an eclectic and unconventional filmography, where folk cinema was mixed with titles of pirates, zombies or aliens or popular westerns."
