I reviewed a movie a few weeks back called Deadwood Park (read review) In it, I wondered why the hell the two leads were so quick to acquiesce to the fact that there were ghosts about. But today’s movie, Conjurer, is almost making me rethink my stance. It’s kind of weird [...]

Though I haven’t delved too deeply into Jean Rollin’s filmography, I have found the films of his I have seen to be quite poetic and darkly romantic. The Iron Rose (read review) was the first film of his I saw, and it entranced me with its gothic feel and dark poetry. After [...]
