Viewing Notes
Watching this Jess Franco flick I got a real Jean Rollin vibe. Turns out he also shared in the director duties. I dig the story but question the method in which its told. The provocative stuff feels more shoehorned rather than doing anything to further the plot. Mostly tedious in trying to create a mood that doesn’t work.
