Grindhouse Classics Two-Fer 2007 Horror Movie Review

SYNOPSIS

The Witch Who Came From The Sea

This shocking psychological thriller stars Academy Award nominee Millie Perkins (The Diary of Anne Frank, The Shooting) as the deeply disturbed Molly, who—abused as a child by her alcoholic father—now victimizes attractive men in her violent search for revenge. Initially banned in many countries and just missed receiving an “X” rating in the USA, the movie is now widely acclaimed for its sensitive, cutting-edge treatment and excellent cinematography (by Dean Cundey; Jurassic Park, Halloween, Hook,  The Thing et al).

Joel M. Reed’s Blood Bath

At dinner, the cast and crew of a horror film tell stories of their real-life experiences with the occult, resulting in a parade of dark but amusing tales including a marriage to the devil’s daughter, one very unlucky hit-man, a hen-pecked husband with delusions of war heroism, a miser haunted by the ghost of a man he ruined, and a less-than-epic martial arts master looking for the “Tenth Secret of Shao-Lin”. Written and directed by legendary cult filmmaker Joel M. Reed (Blood Sucking Freaks,  Night of the Zombies).
