With all due respect to Robert Loggia (who was a fine actor) he had some rather odd film choices towards the end of his life. I noticed these films have the same producer. Personally I rather remember him from Big, Independence Day or Scarface than these films. The Life Zone (2011)This film has become somewhat know over the last few years for being a crazy piece of propaganda. The film is about three young women who try to get a abortion but instead get kidnapped and forced to have the babies. Loggia plays the lead kidnapper and the who film hes just speaking and yelling at three women. I seen this film. Its awful. The IMDB score is at a 1.9 and thats very understandable. Cries of the Unborn (2017)This one may not count because it was made after Mr. Loggia passed away and just uses footage of him from The Life Zone but still the poster has him billed first. Cries of the Unborn is another anti abortion movie that actually makes a case for abducting pregnant women. It even makes a case on how the kidnappers should be acquitted! Bleeding Hearts (2015)Now this is the only one of the four films here I have not seen but it looks like a torture horror film. From IMDB: Captured Hearts, an insane serial killer/horror film, is a heart-jumping, heart-crushing - truly demented - roller coaster ride of mystery, violence, sex and gore. Scavenger Killers (2014)Also staring the late Dustin Diamond this film is about two lawyers who are serial killers. Loggia plays an abortionist who gets his brains pulled out. Check it out.

This is what happens to every character actor if they don't become super famous and/or save up enough money. We all gotta eat, no matter how old we get. You ought to check out some of John Carradine's later movies, if you haven't seen any. It gets pretty weird and kinda sad.

Like Red Zone Cuba, Evils of the Night and Jack-O. But even Mr. Carradine didnt do films as bad as Mr. Loggias. In my opinion anyway.

He was fun in innocent blood I actually never seen that. The film doesn’t totally work but there are some fun scenes.

Maybe he was going senile and thus made weird choices as he was getting older.

I'm just saying, there's a few in there (particularly the Fred Olen Ray stuff) where John Carradine is clearly just edited into to a movie he didn't even shoot footage for, like a somehow-worse version of the Bela Lugosi scenes in Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Also, I'm sure I'd regret seeking it out, but I am a vulgarian and a masochist at heart, and that brain-removal one actually looks kind of interesting in a morbid curiosity sorta way...

It was earlier than the films mentioned but he did Lynch’s Lost Highway. I think he already had a slight tendency to strange films.
