...slow-circling C-47 transports converted by the U.S. Air Force, the plane harassed the Reds with its three General Electric-built "Miniguns"-six-barreled super Catlings that can deliver up to 6,000 rounds of 7.62 mm. slugs a minute. Flying in increasingly widening circles, one Puff can slash a swatch of jungle to salad in moments. At Tuy An it did the trick.

Polanski's first English-language film, Repulsion at first glance looks like a case study of a fragile psychopath. At second glance, or as often as a moviegoer can bear to peek through his knotted fingers, it is a Gothic horror story, a classic chiller of the Psycho school...
