Viewing Notes

The 10th movie at the Box of Horrors 2013 and probably my number one to see. Easily the crown jewel of the line-up even with the crummy 2:45AM slot (was switched from 11:30PM). Glad a lot of people stuck around to see this even if it didn’t go over so well w/that audience. At least Wolfman had a great intro for this. Such an amazing film with so much going on. The long take with Isabelle Adjani wigging out is incredible. Definitely a big screen highlight of my year.

Note: we had vintage trailers before the movie including the X-rated trailer for CAFE FLESH!! Holy shit. I had no idea how fucked up that movie is but now I will have make time for it. Damn. Also become a running joke for the rest of the marathon.
