KISS OF THE VAMPIRE
One of Hammer's best non -Dracula vampire movies features good performances and one of the very best climaxes to a Hammer horror. I've been impressed with Final Cut's Hammer output so far, though I don't think this print is quite up to the standard of their previous releases. Great film though.
LOVE AND DEATH IN THE GARDEN OF THE GODS
Not a traditional Giallo in the 'black gloved killer 'mode, this one is more of a psychological drama, concerning the apparent incestuous relationship between brother and sister, told in part flashback from the character of Erika Blanc, whose attempted suicide at the beginning of the movie sets the wheels in motion. Needless to say, all is not what it seems, leading to deception and murder. It's a slow moving but enjoyable film, with a lovely dvd print from Film Art.
