Monster of the Day #1867

If you haven’t seen this one, check it out, it’s pretty great.

  • I love this movie all out of proportion to it’s merits as a piece of cinematic art. It helps that Don Pedro Colley *is* Baron Samedi. He is so perfect in the role that his portrayal is the one that always comes to mind when that particular loa shows up anywhere in literature.

  • Beckoning Chasm

    Apparently available on Amazon Prime. I’ve been hearing good things about this for years.
    I like that the song is performed by “The Originals.” I wonder if this was the band that forced David and Nigel to change their name to “The New Originals.”

    Cobwebs make a monster look cooler. Here’s a case in point!

    They don’t get used often enough.

  • The Rev.

    Yeah, Colley was easily the highlight of the film; he was so dead-on with that role. I did love the zombies, too, as they’ve got a few unique traits to make them stand out. I think you’re right about loving it more than it perhaps deserves as a movie, but as they say the devil is in the details, and the details make this movie.

  • HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    I don’t know if this will matter, but according to TCM they’ll be showing sword-and-sandal flicks all month long starting at 8PM every Thursday.

    And Happy New Year right back you my friend!!!
