CRIMEWAVE (1985)
CertificationPG Our Rating
A genuine lost classic, co-scrtipted by the Coen brothers, telling in flashback the story of a couple of nutzo exterminators who launch into a killing spree after they're hired to take out the owner of an alarm factory. A souped-up spoof film noir, to which Raimi gave his considerable all.

DETECTIVE (1985)
Certification15 Our Rating
Set in a Paris hotel this comic tribute to the noir B-movie follows the efforts of a ridiculously incompetent detective trying to solve a murder with the dubious assistance of his inspector nephew.
