Another disc for my collection of your fave and mine Walerian Borowczyk! Is it Arthouse? Is it Nunsploitation? Is it soft porn? A little of all of the above to be honest.

Behind Convent Walls is the first Borowczyk I ever saw, not that I'd have been aware of the director's name back then in the early 80s when some Art School friends and I were drawn into the cinema by the allure of the "Sexy Nun" on the poster (as seen here). We were callow youths and I was not yet the refined, virtuous Cinephile you know today. We knew that these "foreign" films held the promise of mucky stuff and perhaps even the possibility of seeing some naked ladies ("It's called The Tit and the Moon! There's gotta be at least one title in it!") With Behind Convent Walls Mr Borowczyk did not disappoint.

I've rewatched the film a couple of times in recent years via "the internet" and it always seemed oddly edited and the picture quality was disappointing so I'm very intrigued to see how Arrow's transfer looks (2k restoration from the original camera negative), however I won't get a chance to watch it before Sunday, as God intended.

Recently Viewed: Re-Animator

[The following review contains SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator (an extremely loose adaptation of a serialized story penned by H. P. Lovecraft) comfortably resides at the intersection of horror and slapstick. The scenario of a zombified corpse carrying its own severed head, for example, wouldn’t feel out of place in a Chuck Jones animated short (albeit a particularly grotesque, macabre one)—though actor David Gale’s talent for nonverbal communication elevates the classic gag (sheer annoyance has never been so palpable).

And no, I won’t elaborate on what exactly that decapitated torso gets up to. If you know, you know.

The true MVP, of course, is young Jeffrey Combs, who is seemingly impervious to the inherent absurdity of the film’s premise, delivering an utterly earnest, straight-faced, unironic performance. In his capable hands, ambitious medical student Herbert West epitomizes arrogance, vanity, and egotism; despite his formidable intellect, the aspiring scientist is neither wise nor self-aware enough to recognize his increasingly obvious madness. Thus, Combs’ unwavering sincerity merely reflects his character’s humorless disposition and unflinching confidence in his academic brilliance—a compelling, insightful, thematically appropriate creative choice.

The movie is hardly flawless; indeed, Arrow’s recent 4K restoration inadvertently exposes some rather lackluster cinematography (flat lighting, bland compositions) that might otherwise have been disguised by the fuzzy grain of a VHS transfer. Such minor blemishes, however, are ultimately inconsequential. The artistic value of a production like Re-Animator is measured not in the quality of its craftsmanship, the structure of its plot, or the depth of its narrative, but in gallons of gore and volume of sleazy subject matter—and on those dubious “merits,” it is an undeniable success.

#Re-Animator #Re Animator #Herbert West #Stuart Gordon #Jeffrey Combs #David Gale #Brian Yuzna #horror #body horror #Arrow Video #film #writing #movie review #originally wrote this for Halloween #never published because I felt it didn't say much of substance #I was way too critical of my own writing while I was unemployed #this is actually fine #at the very least I can accept this level of quality now that I'm working full-time again

Tremors 2: Aftershocks 4K UHD Review: Aftersho4ks

Arrow’s 4K release of Tremors was truly one that gave the film a new look with its earthy tones. So it’s fitting that their release of the first sequel compares favorably with the theatrical original. Tremors sequels became quite lucrative for Universal Home Video. The first one was a pleasant surprise in an era where we did not expect DTV movies to be actually good. Now it looks like a full…
