As life goes on the list of strange and rare horror films(and autuers of said films) gets shorter and shorter,so it is very important to cherish and preserve every last one of them. Finding a lone lost gem is one thing, but finding a small pocket of several wonderful and creepy films all by the same director is something even more rare. Enter S.F. Brownrigg, a talented texan responsible for a handful of creepy little slasher films spawned in the early to mid 70's. All 4 four films ( Dont Look In The Basemnt, Dont Open The Door, Keep My Grave Open, and Poor White Trash 2 a.k.a Scum Of The Earth ) carry a wonderful brooding dark atmosphere and a cast of familiar actors (most notably Gene Ross) that help put a unique stamp on the bunch. Dont Open The Door is most definitely the jewel and undeniably the creepiest. Although the quality and look can be likened to the films of Don Dohler, Brownrigg is a bit more classy. I highly recommend all his films and urge you to seek them out and indulge.Good luck with Poor White Trash 2 though, the only copy ive ever seen was at Movie Madness here in Portland OR.
