	RE: Umberto Lenzi's gialli 3 Replies
I love Lenzi's gialli offerings, or at least the one's I have experiences! I still need to see KNIFE OF ICE and A QUIET PLACE TO KILL. SPASMO and EYEBALL are some of my more favorite gialli viewings. Two very stylish yet, odd in nature but still very effective in the payoff! It's been a long time since I first seen his SO SWEET... SO PERVERSE (1969), was that not just recently issued on DVD again??

I absolutely loved Freda's brilliant I VAMPRI! Now, what was the deal with Bava being uncredited for with this again? I know he had something to do with the overall direction, but what's the full story on that again?

	BAD INCLINATION (2003) 1 Replies
Any opinions about this more recent giallo? I've heard some bad things but when I found it dirt cheap on eBay, I couldn't resist the temptation of picking it up. Figured I need to give some of the more recent horrer/thriller stuff a chance too. Still waiting for it to arrive and I'm not quite sure what to expect of it but at least it has a pretty good cast that includes famous transsexual Eva Robins from TENEBRAE (1982) and the good-looking Elisabetta Rocchietti, who has been cropping up in a lot of horror stuff like THE THREE FACES OF TERROR (2004), DO YOU LIKE HITCHCOCK? (2005) and THE LAST HOUSE IN THE WOODS (2006). Not to mention supporting roles by Florinda Bolkan and Franco Nero! Anyone here seen it?

	IMAGO MORTIS (2009) 3 Replies
Interesting looking film out of Italy with Irish/Spanish co-financiers. Directed by Italian SFX man Stefano Bessoni. In the 1600s, long before the invention of photography, a scientist named Girolamo Fumagalli was obsessed with the idea of reproducing images. He discovered that by killing a victim and removing the victim's eyeballs, it was possible to reproduce on paper the last image imprinted on that person's retinas. He named this technique 'thanatography'. Today, the same kind of gruesome ritual and abominable crime recurs within the walls of an international school of cinema. -imdb.com Also stars the daughter of Charlie Chapman, Geraldine Chaplin as well as her daughter Oona.

Well, it seems this is yet another Argento flick that is taking a beating in the review department. Even die hard fans are not too pleased with this outing. Anyhow, the PAL R2 DVD is now out via a Polish company that found it important to force the Polish subs!

Looks like this will be getting a UK release first via Arrow Films! I still haven't seen this, it was on my radar during last year's Midnight Madness during the Toronto Film Fest. The disc will be released March 15th..

I'd love to grab this, but for now I'm holding off on the Blu-Ray player for now, too unstable industry right now. Plus, the multi-region player are way too expensive!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER CUSHING!

One of the all-time true icons of horror, the fabulous Peter Cushing would have turned 95 today! Happy Birthday, Peter. You are not forgotten.

Celebrating with a viewing later of SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA Smile

Also, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I didn't mention the great Pam Grier, who celebrates a birthday today also, turning 59 years young!

Happy Birthday, Pam!

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER CUSHING!

I for sure will never forget the great man Peter Cushing. One of the staples of movie education for me were the movies of Peter Cushing / Christopher Lee from the Hammer stable. Late night double bills & the delightful rarity of a Horror Express were always such a thrill.
I regularly retell a story which apparently involved Mr. Cushing giving a pint of blood one day & then feeling queezy after the event to the degree of then needing two pints back in order to get him back on his feet. How ironic !.
Still today very much an iconic figure that is highly watchable in many, many fine roles. bb

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER CUSHING!

Of course yet another irony is that today (27th May) is actually Christopher Lee's Birthday. Two of the giants of Horror born one day apart & so intrinsically linked.
News of Christopher Lee in Director Robert Englund's interpretation of Russian Horror great The Vij is very welcome indeed. bb

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER CUSHING!

And in yet another wild coincidence, it is also the birthday today of another horror icon, Vincent Price!

May was a good month for baby horror stars it seems!
