Blow Out (1981)

Mystery/thriller month continues with Brian DePalma's 1981 masterpiece BLOW OUT, starring everyone's favorite Sweat Hog Vinnie Barbarino (aka John Travolta). 

Barbarino plays sound effects man Jack Terry, witness to a political assassination. Barbarino is joined by a stellar cast including Nancy Allen (Robocop, Carrie), John Lithgow (3rd Rock From The Sun), and Dennis Franz (NYPD Blue). This criminally overlooked film combines elements of Hitchcock and the Italian genre giallo (slasher/psychological horror/crime fiction) and may just be Barbarino's greatest on screen performance. 

Rear Window...

Play Misty For Me...

...and now Blow Out. 

Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up and get ready to howl at the moon. It's time for the LATE NIGHT FRIGHT!
