(BluR) Great text by Cocteau. Melville makes a lot with just pausing for allows Cocteau tex bright. Les enfants are really terrible, but most of all the girl Elisabeth. Paul the handsome is Cocteau´s favourite and he (and Melville) hast subtle homeerotic sequences...

(BluR) Harsh, big plot, effectist but strong (the killing of Florinda is great), undertones, sexy Bouchet is innocent but seems other way, gialla in the supertitious country...

(BluR) Great stpyr by Curt Siodmay cheaply bur correctly put by Felix Feist and cast. Ayres is convincing when takes Donovan´s personality...

(BluR) Happy terror, wonderfull deaths, Argento really amuses himself with his stuff. The pair of Hemmings and Nicolody plays for comedy (the little car of Daria is a gag tool) . Macha Meril is excellent in her little role of the first victim, a devastasted medium reacting to invisble attacks and the Hopper bar (a visual hommage) in Rome....

(BluR) Nunsploitation with archeoligical stuff of devealing secrets that makes townsfolks angry....nice sicilian landscape and monumental sites....

(BluR) Coppola revisits a story and plants other great themes (the birth of cinema, the quest of evil in ancient codes of adventure), with characters that suffers histrionically and yet delicate, romantic, agonizing love....Oldman is the best, Hopkins is a kindof while not too convincing variation on Cusiing's Van Helsing's archetype...

(BluR) Last Argento is giallo with less police film and more psycho killer terror.And pure blindsploitation as the exwhore bind girl escapes with chinese orphan...

(BluR) Second Argento's giallo is blindsploitation (Malden is the wise disabled) and some nice deaths, especially the effect of gping down the elevator cables with hands...

(BluR) The structure is a bit mechanical (flashbacks form the present attention of Theresa Russell's attempt tu suicide), but chaacters take over the diamying interest of it. Garfunkel is a kind og enigma while chaotic Theresa is on the level from the beginning...and is not...allis a matter of ¿timing or pairing?
