Perché quelle strane gocce di sangue sul corpo di Jennifer? (1972)
A whole lot of fun for giallo fans!
I have just watched this and I enjoyed it immensely. I normally hate dubbed films but, while I would like to see a subtitled version, the person who did the dubbing seems to have had such fun with it and "got" all the characters so well that it doesn't matter! Well shot, lots of sexy scenes and many breast shots, along with a surprise killer revelation. The acting is of a surprisingly high standard, although this may be down to the dubbing again (God love the person who wrote it!). I'd love to find out how much the dialogue changed in translation, but until I can track down an Italian version I'm stuck! It may not be scary, and it may lack the brilliant characterisation of giallos like Profondo Rosso, but nonetheless this Case is one that is well worth opening up!
Cyberon (2000)
A very good film, unfortunate that its a spin off
This film is very well made on an obviously small budget. Acting and effects are always good, and I was surprised by the small piece of location filming in London. However, Cyberon suffers because it is classed as a Doctor Who spin off. If it were a completely independent film it may gain less recognition but I believe it would be better regarded. The only bad point of this film is the fact that the cyberons solidify later on to resemble cheap cybermen (from Doctor Who) and thus lose most of the interest created early on by their ethereal apparitions. Overall, though, a good piece of British film-making. BBV succeeds again! If you like this, and especially if you are a fan of Doctor Who, go now and seek out the Auton Trilogy for more of Jo Castleton and even better effects.
