Cinema Blog #2: Alucarda

I had the hardest time selecting a film last night. I stared at the titles for a good hour. I knew I needed to watch a horror film, since the reviews on Classic-Horror had been sparse this month. I wanted to get something up tonight or tomorrow night (and my review of The Black Room has been stalled). After a lot of kvetching and some completely unnecessary drama on my part, I settled on Juan Lopez Moctezuma's 1975 Alucarda la hija de las tinieblas or just Alucarda for the English-speaking world.

Tonight, I'm going to a 1970s double feature at desertwillow's theater, featuring kidnapping thriller The Candy Snatchers and a personal favorite, the world's only turkey monster/anti-drug/pro-Jesus/gore film, Blood Freak. Look for my full report tomorrow!
