Splice (2009)
"You try to play God"
(Note: I'm feeling lazy and its 3 AM so I'm just gonna repost my thoughts from the message board.) This film is, well it's a sci-fi psychological/body horror drama film with heavy ("beating you over the head with it" some of the more critical might say) Freudian overtones and a "playing God" storyline. But it feels like a Cronenberg film to me in subject matter.
Sarah Polley is very good in it. (I wish she'd act in more films) and Adrian Brody also puts in a good performance.
The CGI is quite good. By mainstream cinema standards, it's a very weird film. For that reason I wouldn't recommend the film to just Joe Six Pack down the block. It's also best watched alone...because a few scenes would just be really awkward to watch with other people.
Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter (1966)
"That girl is Poison"
So much dialog in this film. So, so much.
The plot (such as it is) has the daughter of Victor Frankenstein and her "brother" moving to American Southwest to continue the experiments. There they run across Jesse James and Jesse's friend who was shot during a subplot. She experiments on the burly, dumb friend. Things go to pot.
Film has flaky science, random things like Jacob's Ladders running for no reason, a random Native American attack for no reason, bad accents...its a definite case of beer making fun of it film.
Drunken Zombie has a commentary for this film. It's in the public domain.
White Zombie (1932)
More zombie than zombie
Considered to be the first full length zombie film. Zombie in this case being voodoo type zombies. It is a pre-code film.
The plot involves a lovely young lady (Madge Bellamy) and her beau being invited to have the wedding at a sugar plantation whose owner has ulterior motives.
Bela Lugosi is a nearby sugar mill owner using voodoo mysticism to use zombies as unpaid labor. He has his own plans vis a vis Ms. Bellamy.
This film sometimes is darn stagy, but its well made overall for the time.
If you like Bela Lugosi, look this film up. It's in public domain and on the Internet Archive.
The Door with Seven Locks (1940)
Solid old dark house mystery
It's an old dark house tale crossed with a old style whudunnit. It's based on "The Door With Seven Locks" by Edgar Wallace. It's title in the UK was "The Door With Seven Locks". The alternate title was by Monogram Pictures for a U.S. release.
When a wealthy lord dies, his last wishes include locking his treasure behind a door with seven locks. Greed, plotting & murder develop in a pursuit for the keys and the truth behind the locked tomb.
Lilli Palmer played the leading lady. She looks marvelous in this film. The male co-lead is a detective type (and her love interest).
There is also an irritable cop, partially used for comic relief. The leading ladies friend is similarly used.
If you like old dark house type films, and old films in general, it's a solid watch.
