Born in 1940 in Canada, Paul Bradley made a significant impact in the realm of cult cinema with his performances in American Nightmare (1983) and Blindside (1987). His roles in these films showcase his ability to navigate the darker themes of exploitation and grindhouse genres, contributing to the unique fabric of 1980s cult films. With a career that spanned several decades, Bradley's work remains a notable part of the conversation surrounding Canadian cinema and its intersection with cult film culture.
Blindside
The sublimely derivative Blindside stirs up a modicum of tension. The principal character is a onetime surveillance expert, who after purchasing a motel can't resist the temptation of spying on his guests. No, there's no shower stabbing here, but there isa brutal murder. Before long, our peeping-tom protagonist is up to his chin in drug-traffic intrigue. As the voyeuristic hero, Harvey Keitel is the most recognizable performer in Blindside; with the exception of the always welcome Lolita Davidovich, the rest of the cast is unremarkable. Filmed in 1986, Blindside was released in the US in 1988.
