Village of the Damned (1960)
A very intelligent sci fi horror feature with a great opening sequence and stunning Barbara Shelley. >>: A- Planet of the Vampires (1965) Bava not only was the master of macabre, I think he was significantly also a great artist who knew exactly how to play with the colors on screen...the master of Red, blue & Green! Totally fascinated after reading some production details of it. Anyway, it's a very original and influential creepy sci fi thriller and the most unique Vampire film ever made[  ]. >>: A-

The Walking Dead (1936)
The modern tale of Frankenstein and the good original of The Man they could not hang. >>: B Tower of London (1939) Not only Basil Rathbone or early Price, bald headed & club-footed Karloff also delivered a striking performance...as I remember I never saw him playing so evil character before in any films that I have seen so far. I'd even say...a must see for Karloff fans. >>: B+

Repulsion (1965). This brilliant psycho-thriller from Polanski shows how to make a disturbing movie with mundane horror. Catherine Deneuve was spectacular as the kitten-hearted and frail heroine. What she does with little dialogue and lots of brooding was magnificent. The rest of the actors were just as solid. Of course Polansky's direction was commendable as well. For the first time in a while i even understood some of the more blatant symbolism in a movie, a rarity for sure. The ending almost seemed a letdown until the end scene gave it subtle power and depth. My only complaint would be the black and white film, which was a bit harsh for me. Ashe.

A great masterpiece. It's like a textbook on great filmmaking.
Can't agree on the cinematography however. I found it to be very atmospheric.

The Lodger (Laird Cregar). One of my new favorites.

Laird Cregar is great in that film. He got all kinds of rave reviews for his performance and thought he was on the edge of becoming a big star. He went on a crash diet so he could get leading man parts, had a heart attack because of the sudden weight loss, and died. He made only one film after The Lodger.

Hangover Square. They're together on a good, cheap box set along with Undying Monster (which is immediately pretty so-so).
