They say, beware of [horror] geeks bearing gifts...

...or in this case, accept the gift with enthusiasm, cos it turned out to be a fantastic one. ^_^ Many thanks to the lovely hellbound_heart for providing the material for this episode of Movie Night, in the form of a film that I'd heard of a few times in the past, but knew nothing about. Quite how, based on a

Firstly, I'm just delighted you adored this film as much as I do. I first saw it as a Halloween screening on the big screen no less, and fell in love with it. Just...gorgeous, heartfelt and distinctive. Rather than turn the rest of my comment into an adjectivefest, you might like to take a look at the review I wrote based on the screener I passed on to you - now that you've seen the film, you might be interested!

This all leads me onto a recommendation - the scene where Claudio bursts from his grave on his motorbike is an homage to another film called Psychomania (1973) and...well, if you liked one undead biker, this film is for you, we have it here and you are welcome to see it this weekend!

*nods* I do adore it! I think, as I say in my final paragraph above, I have a bit of a problem in that this movie punched some of my specific aesthetic/emotional buttons so hard that the subtleties of it were thereafter almost lost on me, precisely because I was reeling too hard to take them in. @_@ Reading your review makes me feel almost guilty for not having anything more intelligent to say than I did, but... at least I love it? *hopeful*

And having gone and looked up Psychomania on IMDB, all I can say is YES PLZ, this looks extremely relevant to my interests and I'm so there, there'll practically be three of me. Thank you! <3

It is, but it's the GOOD kind of bonkers! ^_^
