The Black Cat 1989
You should always trust the dreams you have during a psychic bubble witch movie set apocalypse. These colors don't run, except they do. Green scuzzfuck witch slime from mouth to mouth, open wide and eat my witch puke. Levana's murder set pieces in rainbow black darklight. Let me tell you about baby. Baby is perfectly sedate. baby knows it's fate. My baby is a witch boy. Actress, Model, Dancer - these are the desired occupations of a sleeping witch, of a third mother. And with more glowy maternal confusion, a trilogy is closed. Fuck the Mother of Tears. Cozzi got it a right.

Messiah of Evil 1973

This movie is made out of cinnabar and jade women who shop at supermarkets during the Anti-Christ apocalypse. Dawn of the Dead walking along the beach at night, holding hands with Jean Rollin.

Far more affecting and comprehensive than a Peter Pan movie has a right to be and it will also bless you with a visual assault.

Lords of the Deep 1989
One of the defining films of my letterboxdless ocean summer. I know that Lords of the Deep is somehow a rip-off of The Abyss which was made congruently. The quote I read made it seem like Roger Corman was annoyed that his former assistant was making it so he beat him to the punch with Lords of the Deep. I guess it's possible James Cameron got the basic idea from Corman first? I wish I knew, but I've always had…

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown 1988
This was my introduction to Almodovar and is my forever favorite.
When I first saw this film I would soon be entering the last echelon of my marriage. I didn't know it at the time but soon he would cheat, and I would catch him. I would have what I later realized was a nervous breakdown, and I would quit my job, digging us even deeper into poverty. I would lose forty pounds because I couldn't afford drugs or alcohol…
