Editor Emma E. Hickox comes from a showbiz legacy family. Her father was director Douglas Hickox (“Sitting Target”), and her mother, Ann V. Coates, won an Oscar for editing “Lawrence of Arabia.” Even though young Emma learned much about the industry as a child “through osmosis,” she says that it was important for her to make it on her own.
“I wanted to direct theater,” says the London native, who had worked in L.A. as an unpaid assistant. “When someone said they were looking for an apprentice editor, I wasn’t keen at all. Then they told me how much they were going to pay, and I said, ‘See you on Monday!’”
Once in the editing room, Hickox fell for the job. Hard. “I love filing and being organized,” she says. “I’m very precise, so I adored being an assistant editor.” Working under Frank Morriss, Hickox learned that...

Oliver Reed Week! continues at Trailers from Hell with screenwriter Josh Olson introducing "Sitting Target," starring Reed as a crazed convict who breaks prison to kill his unfaithful wife. Director Douglas Hickox (Theatre of Blood) worked his way up from assistant director to have a brief run of commercial hits in the mid-70s. This is probably his most nihilistic project, a bleak, violent thriller in the vein of Get Carter and Villain. All we could unearth on this one was a 60 second tv spot.

To some delicate souls it might seem a trifle peculiar and even off-putting that the man who directed the 1980 Maniac, an exploitation picture that many considered beyond the pale in its creepy misogyny and all-around anti-social intensity, should now be invited to curate, as they say, a series at the Lower East Side temple of art cinema, Anthology Film Archives. But anyone with even a passing familiarity with the eclectic, subversive aesthetic of the Archive and its founder Jonas Mekas—the visionary who championed Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures back when it was considered by many to be not only not art, but thoroughly pernicious and irredeemable trash by any "decent" standard—would not be in the least surprised. Director and DVD entrepreneur William Lustig, founder of the groundbreaking DVD label Blue Underground, has made it his mission in life in recent years to enlighten movie lovers of all stripe...
