Nilbog Milk: April 2015
http://nilbogmilk.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Hey, y'all, I write about horror and exploitation movies and stuff. Friday, April 17, 2015. Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (1977). Said cannibal girl also bites off a nurse's boob. Later, Emanuelle goes completely out of character and says, "She'll have lost a breast. However, it seems she asked for it. She's well-known for her homosexual inclinations." LOL WUT? Did she have a flashback to her judgmental nun days? That aside, the last portion of Last Cannibals. So, yeah, Black Emanuelle. Is steeped in ...

Nilbog Milk: Return to Oz (1985)
http://nilbogmilk.blogspot.com/2015/03/return-to-oz-1985.html
Hey, y'all, I write about horror and exploitation movies and stuff. Saturday, March 7, 2015. Return to Oz (1985). Judging by the financial stats on IMDB (this didn't even make half of its $25 million budget back), it seems that audiences in 1985 were just not buying an Oz. Movie that mostly ditches the Scarecrow and Toto, but does include a talking chicken, a flying couch, and electroshock therapy. It's 1985's loss. And Disney's! A sort of amalgamation of two L. Frank Baum Oz. Doesn't flinch from shadows...

Nilbog Milk: Fascination (1979)
http://nilbogmilk.blogspot.com/2014/10/fascination-1979.html
Hey, y'all, I write about horror and exploitation movies and stuff. Monday, October 20, 2014. Euro horror directors of the 70s have a reputation for elevating style over substance. The most famous offender is Argento, of course, but even his love of visuals at the expense of plot can't match Jean Rollin. Over the course of a 52(! Whoa, this is a whole lotta plot for a Jean Rollin movie! Don't worry, the tits flop out soon enough. The thieving thief escapes to a castle surrounded by a moat. There he m...

Nilbog Milk: The Canal (2014)
http://nilbogmilk.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-canal-2014.html
Hey, y'all, I write about horror and exploitation movies and stuff. Friday, February 20, 2015. Isn't a classic and resides in one of my least-loved horror subgenres, but viewers who like thrillers and slow-burn storytelling should get a kick out of it. And you'll be near the truth. I loved how much consideration was taken in setting up the visuals. The film looks fantastic—scenes are framed and shot with exacting care, and portions of The Canal. Things aunts would like.

Nilbog Milk: June 2015
http://nilbogmilk.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Hey, y'all, I write about horror and exploitation movies and stuff. Friday, June 12, 2015. Lee was the first person to wrest Dracula from Bela Lugosi's grasp. You can talk about the Lonster and the other dudes who wore the cape, but nobody until Lee was able to shift the character out of Bela's long shadow. So it should be interesting to see how Lee's performance here compares to another horror titan, Boris Karloff in the 1932 version of The Mummy. Will we see another claim staked here? I would argue tha...

Nilbog Milk: July 2015
http://nilbogmilk.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Hey, y'all, I write about horror and exploitation movies and stuff. Sunday, July 5, 2015. Requiem for a Vampire (1971). I watched this on Shudder. We first met last year. When I was impressed by your visual acuity and made excuses for your storytelling frailty. It's much the same story with Requiem for a Vampire. In some ways, literally the exact same story as Fascination. These scenes are where a slow film starts to drag. Red light drenches an orgy between chained slavegirls and the vampire's human ...

Nilbog Milk: May 2015
http://nilbogmilk.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Hey, y'all, I write about horror and exploitation movies and stuff. Monday, May 4, 2015. Malatesa's Carnival of Blood (1973). CWL's rule of movies #1: the more grandiose the movie title, the more crushing your disappointment when you see the actual movie. Malatesta's Carnival of Blood. Is a title that makes genre hopes soar, so I guessed at the outset that this would make me cringe hard or cry. And I was partially right, but for different reasons! And Hunchback of Notre Dame. Could be described as a Jodo...

I Wear Black On the Outside: Observance--Joseph Sims-Dennett (2015)
http://femmereel.blogspot.com/2015/07/observance-joseph-sims-dennett-2015.html
I Wear Black On the Outside. Sunday, July 26, 2015. Observance- Joseph Sims-Dennett (2015). Tenneal (Stephanie King) does not realize that she's being watched in Observance. Was a majorly wonderful surprise! Parker's haunted grief over his son takes on an increasingly nightmarish tone. Has Tenneal come to ask Parker to "stop looking? What is this mysterious institute where Tenneal works? What is up with that bottle of ink in Parker's bedroom? What exactly happens to him in the shower? Masterfully uses si...

I Wear Black On the Outside: Bridgend--Jeppe Ronde (2015)
http://femmereel.blogspot.com/2015/07/bridgend-jeppe-ronde-2015.html
I Wear Black On the Outside. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Bridgend- Jeppe Ronde (2015). Jamie (Josh O'Connor) and Sara (Hannah Murray) share an intimate moment in Bridgend. I find it hard to describe the elegiac beauty and the narrative frustrations intertwined within Danish director Jeppe Ronde's first narrative feature Bridgend. If you feel like falling down. That particular rabbit hole. This narrative feature is much more ambiguous and nuanced than any "factual" exploration of these events. Raises more que...
