Viewing Notes

After viewing Larraz‘s SYMPTOMS I saw it compared to Repulsion in some reviews. Since I own that one (one of the very first Criterion Blu-rays I bought back in the day) I wanted to give it a look. Yeah totally understand why it would be mentioned in the same sentence. Would make for a cool repertory double feature screening that I could see Music Box doing in October.
