Hollywood 90028
Director Christine Hornisher’s film pushes all the grindhouse buttons in this mash-up of serial killers and sex workers. Christopher Augustine plays a Hollywood hopeful who dreams of being a cinematographer but can only find work shooting bottom of the barrel porn loops. Released in 1973 the film was re-released as The Hollywood Hillside Strangler. The movie is notable for its score, the first by Basil Poledouris (Robocop, The Hunt for Red October).

Cool to highlight unseen films. Though not mentioned here is a fascinating factoid that the co-star Jeannette Dilger left Los Angeles shortly after making this film. She moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and….became friends with Jefferson Airplane. She then got into lyric writing and penned numerous songs for Jefferson Starship. Credited with her husband Pete Sears….i find the 1981 rocker “Stranger” to be affecting. Though “Save Your Love” is also fine on the same album “Modern Times”
