Watched films in 2023 (158 movies items)"21.2. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Mario Bavan kirjanmerkkiteos on goottipönötyksen lavastusta, kuvasommittelua ja tunnelmaa "nykyajassa" tapahtuvassa fetisoidussa murhamysteerissä. Tekosyyn murha-set-pieceille tarjoava juoni ja sen kuljetus on uusinnallakin oikeasti kiinnostavaa, mikä vähän hämmentääkin, ja vaikka edelliskerrasta oli vähän reilu kolme vuotta, ei mulla ollut mitään muistikuvaa murhaajan identiteetistä.

Movies I watched in August 2019 (20 movies items)" Date: 8/20/2019 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-watch Note: Probably Mario Bava's best movie in my opinion. The cinematography, story, music, characters and the atmosphere in this movie is top-notch. There's not a single dull moment in this movie. I can always watch this movie and still be very entertain by it. The thing I love the most about this movie is the colors because the movie is amazing to look at.
