THIS WEEKS MOVIE pt.2

THE WHIP AND THE BODY (1963)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057078/

Last night i watched this Mario Bava film that i had never seen before. To be honest i had high expectations of this movie before even seeing anything about it. Hell, its Mario Bava for fucks sake. He has made two of my personal favorite movies ive ever seen (Black Sabbath (1963) and Mask of Satan (1960) ) as well as a slew of other great movies that ive loved. Another thing that got me all exited was that the great Christopher Lee was in this. I mean, what movie does he NOT make awsome....?
Well. what could be wrong with this movie? Two things i did not like. One, the pacing of the film. I know that Bava is a master at creating "mood" and having great sets and great lighting ect. but it did seem to me that for the first half of this movie the camera liked to linger and pan around too much to try and show a atmosphere that was already present in the movie with the creepy castle by the ocean and the suspicion of a lingering ghost. To me it just seemed overkill really. Second, and i know im giving to much away here but Mr. Lee's character (Kurt Menliff) died waaay too early and limited his spoken lines in the movie to only the first quarter. That sucked...
Those two things are really the only thing that i believe holds this movie back from being another gothic masterpiece from Bava as the rest of the movie was great. I thought the beautiful Ida Galli was wonderful and reminded me of the great Barbara Steele not only in her appearance but her acting as well. Just wish i would have seen some flesh in this one..... (yes, that means no nudity) but there is a rather sexy underlying tone of sex through violence hence the name which was pretty cool.
Al in all, if you like Bava's work and have never seen this then by all means do so cause its pretty enjoyable and definatly has his trademarks. If youve never seen a Bava film (!) then id start with something else honestly.
Heres the trailer (its in French i believe but i dont know...need to ask the wife)

THIS WEEKS MOVIE

MARK OF THE DEVIL (1970)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065491/

Alright, if you dont know this movie then you really should just not even be reading my blooooog.
This movie is filled with EVERYTHING that i love about horror movie. Torture, blood, witches, tits, ect.
In my eyes this movie has alot more depth than most all the other "witch hunting" movies ive seen. It seems to focus alot on the personal conflicts that the witch hunters and their inquisition had to go through as far as seeing the ones they love being called out as a witch, locked up, and even tortured. The sultry Olivera Katarina's character Vanessa Benedik couldnt have been better acted as well as the whole cast at the time.
All that aside, everytime i watch this movie I catch myself saying "Ya know, this is a really sadistic movie huh...". Ive seen alot of movies that are just pure evil and dirty (Toolbox Murders, The Night Train Murders, Last House.. to name a few) and i belive this fits right in that catagory also.
Many memorable scence in this one as well. If youve never seen it before you will be holding you tongue at some part im sure. Also, not to give too much away but the ending is PERFECT to me. I hate watching a happy ending...
So go get this movie, i know Blue Underground has it as thats the copy i have and gather you friends and smoke some weed or whatever and HOLD YOUR TONGUES!!

If you cant buy it theres a nice fellow who has posted the whole movie in parts on youtube...
Heres part one...
