INKtober Day 5- DR HELL

Before Robotnik, and Dr Wiley, there was Dr Hell; the arch nemesis of Mazinger Z, self-proclaimed future ruler of the world, and classic anime’s most diabolical mad scientist! From reverse-engineering the technology of an ancient civilization to build and unleash giant killer robots, to reanimating the dead to serve as his minions, allying with ancient alien space gods, cheating death itself, and even once controlling a robot with the power to rewrite reality, Dr Hell’s infamous legacy would reach almost near-mythic proportions!

Miss Muerte (The Diabolical Dr. Z, 1966), dir. Jesús Franco

Фильм из одной вселенной с "Ужасным доктором Орлофф", но более изысканно снятый. Дьявольский доктор Z, практикуя некую разновидность акупунктуры, сводит жертв с ума, подчиняя их своей воле. И даже его смерть, случающаяся в самом начале, ничего не меняет...

Celebrating Jean-Claude Carrière this #JessFrancoFriday.

Jean-Claude Carrière was a screenwriter on many important classic films such as the Tin Drum, Belle Du Jour, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeois, and many more. Though more importantly on #francofriday he also has writing credits on several Jess Franco films. These are Diabolical Dr Z (Miss Muerte), Attack of the Robots (Cartes Sur Table), and Jack the Ripper. He has also been credited with La Casa de Las Mujeres Perdidas and therefore also Broken Dolls, but Jess Franco is on the record as saying that this was not the case, he turned down the work. There is an interview with Carrière where he discusses Jess Franco available on the 1kult Vimeo. Unfortunately my French is a little too rusty to figure out all that he says about Jess, but it’s worth a watch. Jess Franco Friday!
