Last Night I went to an Italian Horror film double-bill here in Liverpool.
It was interesting to watch films that I usually see on my own on my TV, projected on a large screen with other people in the room. It was a very small cinema and it was my first visit, it holds 60 people and it was probably about 2/3's full and not everyone stayed for both films and unsurprisingly there were more for
Inferno than
Blood & Black Lace.
However those people who came late missed out, watching these 2 films back to back only highlights Inferno's shortcomings. Inferno is not a bad film, but it suffers greatly (more so than Suspiria) by not having a storyline. Woman goes into basement, get's killed and brother comes to investigate is a loose narrative even by Argento's standards.
It was an enjoyable night though for sure and I have 2 more planned for the next couple of weeks, next up is an old OOP documentary called
The Queen which is about the 1960s Drag Queen scene - I'm really looking forward to that. Following that I'm almost giddy in anticipation for
John Water's Polyester with scratch and sniff cards!!
