The new FRANKENSTEIN by Del Toro is beautiful but lacks monstrous trauma. The creature is only tragic like Quasimodo in Disney and kills defensively. A good transgressive version is by the queer James Whale from 1931 , because like in the novel the creature kills a child and shocked audiences.

One of my first academic publications was an anti-colonial reading of I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (Lewton/Tourneur, 1943). No recent films have come close to depicting Vodou as anti-colonial as this film does, btw. The new Criterion release has "finally" arrived and the transfer is stunning! See it!

From the year of DIAMOND DOGS (1974) in this otherwise scathing review: "The stage was built at weird angles like in 1920 German Expressionist silents with a cityscape as the backdrop." This monster kid would have died and gone straight to hell.

In the brilliant noir FALLEN ANGEL (1945), the later blonde-black design of David Lynch is already in evidence with June (Alice Faye) and Stella (Linda Darnell) dealing with a vile huckster (Dana Andrews). The film begins with Stella arriving in a bar, removing her shoes, and everything falls apart.

France has indeed always had a continuous horror history from Méliès to the Cinema of Sensation. Great list!

From Eyes Without a Face to Raw, French horror trips the line between realism and the uncanny, and pushes into a realm of profound discomfort.

Il y a 50 ans, au petit matin du 16 octobre 1970, ces trois «dangereux révolutionnaires» étaient kidnappés par la police, comme plus de 490 autres personnes.
Gérald Godin, Pauline Julien, Gaston Miron et toutes les autres victimes de cette rafle politique, nous nous souvenons.

The documentary THEATRE OF HORRORS is fantastic - and not surprising coming from the good people at Severin. Barbara Steele's narration should be enough to entice you! Go see it with a crowd at FNC next Sunday at 20:30 @ CQ:

I expected a silly erotic comedy, but instead I got a heartfelt trans drama about first encounters and re-unions, an ensemble cast, which is weird for Jess Franco, and life among sex-workers in the tourism town of Benidorm, Spain in the 80s: LAS CHICAS DEL TANGA. Thank you Severin!
