Lips of Blood (1975) As a child Frédéric had gotten lost one day and found himself in the ruins of a castle where he was befriended by a young woman. Twenty years later he sees a poster of the ruins and starts to remember that night which he has since forgotten. He starts to see visions of the young woman beckoning him but someone is trying to stop him from finding the castle. Meanwhile there are four vampire women, (two of them inexplicably nude beneath diaphanous gowns in the wind no less), who are determined to help Frédéric find the young woman. A typical Rollin vampire film more about style rather than story. The ending scene with the two naked on the beach made me laugh because Annie Belle visibly shivered in the wind. Perhaps vampires do feel the cold!

I Stand Alone (Gaspar Noe). A claustrophobic tale of isolation, not a film to watch when you have guns in the house I'd say haha. mate was suitably appalled/impressed.

Its called Dale Street and for a good few months it was close off whilst filming was taking place. It was chosen as a location because of the architecture which was thought to be right for the period.

He gets thrown off a car right outside the Heritage Market by Liverpool's docks too.

YES! I really enjoyed it. It's made me hungrier to check out Berberian Sound Studio.

Mixed really?

I've seen nothing but positive - 70% on Rotten Tomatoes, 6.7 on IMDB, The Guardian calls it one of the films of the year.

Well... admittedly the positive has far outweighed the negative.

I'm trying to curb my blind buying though, as I'm seriously starting to run out of room!
