  I Never Left the White Room 2000

  Watched 10 Sep 2023

  Adventurous blend of SOV horror and video art - recommended for fans of Charles Pinion or Tina Krause’s Limbo. Or maybe even David Lynch.

  Iron Warrior 1987

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Dec 2017

  Really does feel like slipping into a dream, floating from scene to scene in a similar manner to something like Phantasm, discarding logic. Beautiful locations, minimal burdensome story. I watched just before drifting to sleep, the only way it should be seen, maybe. It felt like only half an hour had passed when the end credits hit. This will probably become a late night staple for me.

  Call of the Blonde Goddess 1977

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Jun 2020

  A sun-drenched fantasy. This might be Jess making his very-Franco version of I Walked with a Zombie. The blonde goddess is made up like Jean Harlow. It was a pleasure to let this movie wash over me on a bright Saturday afternoon. The infinity of mirrors in the bedrooms parallels the unending call to the voodoo ritual for our heroine; if only the repetition of the quarantine days were anything like THAT.
