Just a visitor on this planet. During my stay, I have been enjoying cinema (especially horror), strange music, and abstract art. Also cats. Cats are awesome. No DMs.
It's about time I have gotten around to seeing this. Mario Bava directs this beautiful big budget psychedelic crime thriller. A fun film from 1968. The Ennio Morricone soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission!

This delightful low budget horror-comedy from 1964 hits it out of the park. Written & directed by Jack Hill and starring Lon Chaney in a comedic role! The whole cast is dynamite. Sid Haig is great and Jill Banner is simply mesmerizing. Great fun!

The Laughing Woman
Dir by Piero Schivazappa, this 1969 Italian film features beautiful pop-art sets and groovy psychedelic soundtrack. Maria, a journalist, is kidnapped by Dr. Sayer who subjects her to S&M games. She must use all her skills to survive. Can she escape? Intense, but not torture porn.

A nice slice of the David Lynch pie. This is the 4th or 5th time I’ve watched this wonderful film, and for the first time it actually seemed to make sense to me. The mystery is the message.

1988 big budget EuroSleaze. Jess Franco on his best behavior. It felt like a 1980s American made for TV movie of the week. Enjoyable enough, but overall very tame. I prefer Franco’s more outrageous stuff. The Severin 4K is gorgeous.

OK, they can't all be winners. I've read that while Jean Rollin was making Iron Rose, he realized it would probably be a financial failure, so he agreed to make this cheap exploitation film for some quick cash. A few cheesy sex scenes wrapped around a thin plot and uninspired acting. Best to avoid.

Amazing. This Jean Rollin film is big on atmosphere and texture. Françoise Pascal is absolutely mesmerizing. Slow building goth terror at its finest.

"Black Sunday" (1960) is the definition of goth

Sometimes you stumble across a film that defies classification. "The Savage Eye" is a jarring assemblage of footage highlighting the seedy underbelly of 1950s America held together by the dark narrative of a recently divorced and discarded woman. The brutal modernist jazz score is amazing.

Did someone say action? Loved this, my new favorite Jackie Chan film. Although I have yet to see Project A, that is next on my list.

It's that time of year. One of the greatest albums of all time.

Revisiting a classic. This time I was not overwhelmed by the violence, instead I was blown away by the subtleties and finer points of the performances, especially that of Tommy Lee Jones. My older self can relate to his wise philosophical angst. The Coen brothers create magic with this one.

An awesome "anthology" type horror Czech film from 1969. A fine mixture of gothic and swinging 60s. Really fun.

What did I just watch? A crazy film from the mind of Terry Gilliam. Amazing atmosphere and stellar performances.

This tasty package arrived today from across the pond. I will certainly be pissed off if Orange Julius Caesar imposes tariffs on the UK and EU.

A decent Hammer film from 1972. Some good performances, especially nice to see Lynne Frederick in the second half.
