Paul Moore

Paul Moore, a name that pops up if you’re into offbeat cult flicks from the early ‘70s. He’s got credits in “Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things” and “Revenge Is My Destiny,” both from 1971. Honestly, you can’t get much more underground than that. Let’s talk “Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things.” This one’s a wild ride—a twisted, low-budget crime thriller with a dash of dark comedy. It’s Miami, it’s the ‘70s, and we’ve got two guys on the run after a bank heist. Paul Moore plays one of the leads, and he’s not exactly your textbook anti-hero. Instead, he’s tangled up in this bizarre setup: one guy pretends to be his aunt, complete with wigs and dresses, to stay undercover. It’s got this campy, almost John Waters-esque energy, but with a little more edge and a lot of weirdness. There’s paranoia, some whacked-out violence, and plenty of moments where you’re left thinking, “Wait, what did I just watch?” Moore pulls off his role with this perfect mix of awkwardness and charm that just works. Then there’s “Revenge Is My Destiny.” Not as well known, but if you dig through the grindhouse archives, you’ll find it. This one’s all about—well, revenge, obviously. Moore’s character is caught in a spiral of betrayal and payback, small-town nastiness, and just enough melodrama to keep things spicy. It’s gritty, not polished, but that’s half the fun. Moore brings this raw, almost desperate energy, making sure you can’t look away. So yeah, Paul Moore: not a household name, but definitely a face you’ll remember if you dive into these weird, wild, and totally unapologetic movies from the ‘70s.
