Bianchi displays flashes of style, but aside from Edwige Fenech there's barely a single likeable character in this. As the film plods along it starts to feel like a succession of nude/sex scenes half-heartedly interspersed with plot. A B- giallo, but a masterpiece compared to Burial Ground.
Ok, another Giallo. #nowwatching Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975). Goodness, what a salacious title! I do hope the name wasn't chose as a way to draw in an audience for a film that couldn't stand on its own merits. #horrorsky

In the gym, and #nowlistening to Act of Aggression by Electric Chair (2023). Fast, aggressive hardcore. Love it!

#nowwatching The Masque of the Red Death (1964). Somehow, a first time watch! Incredible atmosphere in the openinf scenes, and Vincent Price is having the time of his life. #horrorsky

I'm the only person in the entire world who thinks (dreadful cover and title aside) that 'What the...?' by Black Flag (2013) is a pretty good album.

#nowwatching The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (1971). It's been a while since I watched a giallo, and you can't go wrong with Sergio Martino and Edwige Fenech! #horrorsky

#nowwatching The Ghost of Kasane Swamp (1957). I've had a Russian DVD of this sitting around for years, and only just realised it has English subtitles. I can follow the Japanese ok, but it's good to get the nuances! #horrorsky

#nowwatching The Leopard Man (1943). A Val Lewton/Jacques Tourneur collaboration. A string of murders is attributed to an escaped leopard...but is the big cat really to blame? #horrorsky

An interesting video on animal rights in Japan from a vegan perspective. Nothing surprising to me. It's not easy being vegan in Japan, and awareness of animal rights among the general public is almost zero.
I need to share my thoughts about my trip to Japan

Busy, but closing out the day with a film. #nowwatching Host (2020), a pandemic horror about friends having a seance over a webcam. I've seen this once before, but I don't remember all that much about it. #horrorsky

Good film! A very clever script - I enjoyed the interactions between the characters, and the dismantling of horror conventions. It also had fun playing with racial stereotypes and politics, as well as intergroup prejudices.

Cheaply made, flatly written, and woodenly acted, with a brief moment of animal abuse (Lenzi's cannibal film background on display). Still, there's an (admittedly clumsy) anti-colonial message I can get behind, and the zombies are unique - the nooses around their necks are a nice touch.
#nowwatching Black Demons (1991), a production from the waning days of 80s zombie mania, and the last horror film directed by Umberto Lenzi. On a Brazilian plantation, the victims of a failed slave rebellion are resurrected and start to take their revenge... #horrorsky

#nowwatching King of the Zombies (1941). Another early zombie film, though far from a classic. A poverty row production, cheaply produced and stuffed with offensive racial stereotypes (Mantan Moreland still manages to play the most interesting character though...). Give it a miss. #horrorsky

This one was great! Inventive cinematography, some creepy moments, and a final scene featuring a battle between the werewolf and Elizabeth Bathory (who is a vampire witch). Naschy knew how to keep the audience entertained!
#nowwatching The Night of the Werewolf (1981), another film where Paul Naschy plays his werewolf character Count Waldemar Daninsky. Looking forward to this one! I hope more of Naschy's films get Blu-ray releases, because I'd love to see them. #horrorsky

Really interesting. The director gets quite creative in telling the story from the dog's perspective - things that would be foregrounded in the dog's perception are emphasised, while dialogue between the human characters is muffled. The images and scares reminded me of the documentary The Nightmare.
#nowwatching Good Boy (2025). A dog tries to defend his owner from a supernatural presence. Rare to see an animal protagonist, but I'm here for it! #horrorsky
