Tonight's Movie - These are The Damned, 1962. Biker drama meets grim sci-fi.

Unexpectedly ended up being one of the best movies I've watched in a while, this one really affected me!

A ★★★★★ review of The Damned (1962)

Opens with Oliver Reed and a motorcycle gang menacing along with a theme song about how scary black leather is. They then march off to do violence while whistling their theme music. The rest of the gang is goofy but Reed always has such a presence that he totally elevates the character of King. He's just a cold psychopath and I can totally buy a gang following him even if he's wearing a fancy jacket while bossing biker guys. King's sister Joan is stuck in a life between her abusive brother and a wealthy American businessman twice her age with

My ★★★ review of The Revenge of Frankenstein on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/3qtfHb

A ★★★ review of The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)

Dr. Frankenstein goes undercover in a new city under the name of Dr. Stein. Making Alucard proud here. Frankenstein has improved his technique and his creations no longer look like zombies. He's also created an artificial nervous system using copper pipes! This time around he defies God by removing a lab assistant's brain and putting him in a new, buffer body. Things go wrong, but he's getting better at this job. There are so many weird tubes and bubbling chemicals and blinky sci-fi lights, I love this stuff. Peter Cushing is, as usual, a ton of fun, and Michael Gwynn

Laundry and a movie night - The Revenge of Frankenstein, 1958

The second Peter Cushing Frankenstein film for Hammer. This makes a lot more sense now than my initial bizarre watch order of 1, 3, 2.

"Sorry, we made your burger wrong, we'll make another but you can have this one too and it's free." My stomach groans noooo and I eat both anyway.

Tonight's movie - Sampo, a Finnish folklore story by Aleksandr Ptushko. Like Ptushko's wild Ilya Muromets, most people who have seen this film have probably seen the bad, chopped up dub with Mystery Science Theater. It's a shame that Letterboxd doesn't separate these versions.

Worth watching, but be sure you're watching the actual Finnish version!

My ★★★ review of The Day the Earth Froze on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/3pZpqf

A ★★★ review of The Day the Earth Froze (1959)

A blacksmith with pink hair and a pink beard forges a bright red horse to plow a field full of snake puppets, of course I'm going to like this movie. A Finnish folklore story by Aleksandr Ptushko. Like Ptushko's wild Ilya Muromets, most people who have seen this film have probably seen the bad, chopped up dub with Mystery Science Theater. It's a shame that Letterboxd doesn't separate these versions. A witch kidnaps a mythical blacksmith's sister and, with her army of filthy wizards, forces the blacksmith to forge a giant, gaudy crystal that eternally barfs out whatever resources you
