This Brazilian nod to gothic conceits sounds quite intriguing. I shall endeavor to seek it out.

I hope newer generations are able to forgive the shortcomings in the special FX to appreciate it for how innovative and original the film truly is.

His speeches are always entertaining. Yes I think it does basically punish him for being a Shaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-5834057612078066942010-06-21T00:17:45.432+01:002010-06-21T00:17:45.432+01:00I really liked this one, its extremely existential...I really liked this one, its extremely existential and anti-religious, I love that speak he gives while in the cemetary, defying the supernatural to appear, questioning everything, it was a very pure and intense performance from Mojica himself, loved it! <br /><br />Agree about it being kind of conservative, because he doesnt believe in the supernatural, yet it is the supernatural that destroys Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-89352268826866377132010-06-20T00:42:35.994+01:002010-06-20T00:42:35.994+01:00I knew this was Brazil's first horror film but...I knew this was Brazil's first horror film but didn't know about Cinema Novo.
