    Now watching: ‘Death Sentence’, AKA ‘Violent Blood Bath’, dir. Jorge Grau, 1974 – another Spanish giallo. 🎬🎥

    Easy way to keep these movies straight, if you’re watching John Goodman who seems to understand he’s in a genre movie with exploitation tropes you’re watching DEATH SENTENCE. If you’re watching Mancow play himself in a movie that feels like ascendant American fascism you’re watching DEATH WISH.

    James Wan's grossly underrated vigilante action film DEATH SENTENCE is on sale for $5 on iTunes. This film is NOT on US Blu-ray so this is currently the only way to own in HD other than importing. (Note both the theatrical and unrated cuts are on sale, but they are separate listings).

    The director of Insidious (my film) also directed Death Sentence starring Kevin Bacon. This means I am once again two degrees from Kevin Bacon. Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a game where players choose an actor to find the shortest path that leads to American actor Kevin Bacon.

    I remember the James Wan movie Death Sentence being a decent time. That’s from a book by the same author but has Kevin Bacon and John Goodman and Wan at least understands how to make the movie fun.

    Based on your description I thought it might be something I'd find value in (I like 'Death Sentence' with Kevin Bacon and the first movie version of 'Man on Fire' with Scott Glenn), but the racism and brutalization of female characters was too much for me.

    I found some old film canisters in my garage 📽 (behind the lawnmower, and the buckets of lead paint). This is a clip 🎬 of 'Death Sentence', where I play a vigilante judge who's not taking 'not guilty' for a verdict. 👊⚖️ I won awards for this one, if you can believe it. 🏆 youtu.be/g27Xc1oTAXc

    He actually wrote a sequel, "Death Sentence," because he was so unhappy with the movie adaptation. They did an even worse job of adapting that one.

    It helps that Laurence Luckinbill's character is so odious. He played a similar character in the 1974 TV movie DEATH SENTENCE with Cloris Leachman and Nick Nolte.

    I feel this is what the kids might call “certainly a choice”. *Technically my favourite KB film is Jane Campion’s In the Cut (2003) but Death Sentence is my favourite performance of his.

    The director of INSIDIOUS also directed Death Sentence starring Kevin Bacon. (This means I am once again two degrees from Kevin Bacon.) Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon: players choose actors and connect them via a film that both actors have appeared in.

    The funny thing is that you can easily make a vigilante film where the main focus of the 'bad guys' is neither race, nor country of origin. Look at Death Sentence and The Brave One. msn.com/en-us/movies...

    It's funny, though, speaking of fathers and sons, because me and John Goodman played father and son, like, five or six years ago in the film 'Death Sentence,' and I got back with him again in 'Inside Llewyn Davis.' Garrett Hedlund

    … with its more positive portrayal of the subject matter, prompted Garfield to write a sequel, DEATH SENTENCE (1975), after being disappointed with the first film version. The novel also produced a own film in 2007 (starring Kevin Bacon). However, the commercial success … 9/10

    I fucking HATE Death Wish, I think it contributed to a lot of bad shit, but I'm actually kind of fond of the largely panned Death Sentence, the Kevin Bacon movie that's a more faithful adaptation of the original novel. He wasn't supposed to look like a hero either.
