 Spider Labyrinth!
Just as I've opened up the old wallet to get a couple of the latest Shameless releases, I thought I'd moan about 'Spider Labyrinth' again... it has been a while. Sadly, it is still the case that this late 80s Italo masterpiece - which watches like a perfectly good 'classic' Argento which it very much apes - is still very hard to find. When you do find it, the copy will most likely be a bootleg DVD-R sourced from a Japanese VHS. OK, so you can *watch* it, but it really deserves a better release.
Have Shameless looked into this at all? I know a fair few are interested in this one... it would be good to know if the original source material still exists, who owns it and how much they want!
The cinematography, the spooky wind swept Budapest setting, the dodgy animated stop motion spiders are brilliant!
Here's the trailer for those who may not have seen it:
