Movie: Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979) 63/100 Very gratuitous, flatly acted movie but with some scenes with flair

Zombie Flesh Eaters aka Zombi 2 (1979) From what I’ve read of it, this one seems somewhat overrated, but it does have its moments. Apparently marketed as some sort of sequel to Dawn of the Dead in some places, these … Continue reading

Movie: Flavia the Heretic (1974) 60/100 Can’t quite decide if it’s art or trash, but winceingly entertaining whatever

Flavia The Heretic (1974) Either the movie, or I, can’t decide whether it’s art with a political/feminist agenda, or sleazy eurotrash. It has artistic bits (some of the imagery, especially one very distinctive scene of a naked woman climbing inside … Continue reading

Movie: Horror Hotel (aka City of the Dead) 74/100 Rather fine, striking horror movie from 1960 that has strangely parallel plot-beats with Psycho

Horror Hotel (aka City of the Dead) (1960) Rather fine short horror movie, made in the UK with the actors doing American accents. A great beginning with the witchiest-looking witch you ever saw (well, without green makeup at least), atmospheric … Continue reading

Movie: Nosferatu The Vampire 90/100 Deeply enthralling, but with some baffling casting choices that add to the weirdness

Nosferatu The Vampire (1979) Directed by Werner Herzog, and some of its hazy, dreamy shots and atmosphere reminiscent of other Herzog movies such as Aguirre, this will bore some and entrall others. It enthralled me, but it is glacially slow … Continue reading
