I try him out as people rave about him sometimes. BWTCP was, to me, one of his better works but it was not a great film at all. The ending was contrived and they offer the police psychologist explnantion as to why the killer did it all a minute or so before the credits roll, as if to give the convolute plot was credibility as the ship is sinking. But I liked Tony Musante in it. Sure. I try him out as people rave about him sometimes. BWTCP was, to me, one of his better works but it was not a great film at all.

I guess I ll have to get around to reviewing that one too at some stage. Though personally there are loads of gialli I can think of that are miles better than most of Argento's efforts, I am not the biggest Argento fan in the world to be honest but yeah Crystal plumage is pretty good.

Did an Asian poster post today just to keep my blog alive with some sort of pulse. HAve some reviews on the back burner but can't seem to finsih them off. Some Polish posters may be next and a commenter suggested some Bollywood which I need to check into. Of interest to you may be that I just watched Bird with the Crystal Plumage and liked it overall. The ending was over the top but I expect that now from giallo films. Probably do a review of that soon. More coming up in the future.

Thanks. I have to admit a total ignorance when it comes to Bollywood. I was going to dowmnload a couple Indian horror flicks the other day but held off until my current downloads have finished. I have to argee that there is something about the way these developing nations portray horror (not to say that Poland is a developing nation... or is it? I need to keep up with these things) movie images that surpasses the glossy poster art that usually accompanies the film originally. I really love the old posters, especially of the 60's and 70's. Horror. Exploitation. Even mainstream posters like Serpico and Dirty Harry really just grabbed you. Of course I like some modern stuff, especially what is coming out of Japan and South Korea and there is a post coming up on that after I finsih my article on the French film Eyes Without a Face (Les Yeux Sans Visage). Any Bollywood horror recommendations will taked seriously. Thanks. I am going to go check this out. Thanks. I have to admit a total ignorance when it comes to Bollywood.

Bollywood horrors have names like 'Bhoot' and 'Chupp' and are generally just stolen bits from western horror films acted by Indians and interspersed with dance routines and comedy subplots. Which in a way makes them better.

People in this small communities just wanted to gather together and see films. I read they would walk for miles to get to the place where the films were shown on an old TV set.

I also never knew that movies were carried around like that from village to village. That's really cool. Man, I learn something new here all the time at your blog. I love it.
