Filmes: Unholy Women
(Os dois primeiros vi algures o ano passado, mas seria injusto não serem mencionados aqui. Também é injusto que sejam títulos obscuros. O terceiro vi recentemente - há meses que não via nada, apesar de ter uma lista de coisas para ver do comprimento de uma baleia azul. Entretanto comecei também a ler de novo. Estava a ficar embrutecida...)
Messiah of Evil
Gloria Katz e Willard Huyck
1974
"With influences taken from Night of the Living Dead and the works of H.P Lovecraft, the story revolves around a young woman searching for her missing artist father who had been sending her increasingly cryptic letters about esoteric oceanic rituals. She travels to Point Dune, a small town located on the West coast, and comes across a plethora of strange characters and a mysterious cult"
The Mafu Cage
Karen Arthur
1978
"This dark film explores the bizarre relationship between two adult sisters, both the daughters of a late anthropologist, residing in a dilapidated Los Angeles mansion - Ellen is a successful astronomer saddled with caring for mentally disturbed Cissy, who lives in the shadow of their father work in Africa and who likes to keep apes as pets"
Censor
Prano Bailey-Bond
2021
"Film censor Enid takes pride in her meticulous work, guarding unsuspecting audiences from the deleterious effects of watching gore-filled decapitations and eye-gougings (...) Her sense of duty to protect is amplified by guilt over her inability to recall details of the long-ago disappearance of her sister (...) When Enid is assigned to review a disturbing film from the archive that echoes her hazy childhood memories, she begins to unravel how this eerie work might be tied to her past"
