Swamp Of The Ravens | Trailer

If you’re only going to watch one 70’s Ecuadorian Frankenstein movie this month, make it Manuel Cano’s utterly depraved 1974 gem The Swamp Of The Ravens! This still relatively obscure Eurohorror potbolier tells the tale of an unhinged medico who hacks up bodies in his remote lab, messing around with life and death and wallowing in gore galore. Eerily anticipating Stuart Gordon’s much later (and better) Re-Animator, The Swamp Of The Ravens is an atmospheric, often surreal, trashterpiece filled with nudity, sex, surgery and out-of-left field musical numbers!

Hotel Poseidon Clip – Aunty Lucy

David reluctantly pretends to be the manager of Hotel Poseidon, where fungus covers the walls and comments such as “faded glory” and “has seen better times” completely fall short to describe this establishment. He wanders the corridors of his personal Overlook Hotel like a zombie, being a passive spectator to what happens around him. Whether it’s clients without cash, his mother castrating him with her sharp tongue or the recently deceased aunt in the hallway whose pension kept the place going. David will gradually lose his balance and tumble into a waking nightmare, in which his hotel is transformed into an existential purgatory. With inner demons on the booze, lustful creatures tempting his lonely soul to sin and a big plunge into the proverbial metaphysical shithole, David can expect some strong comments on Trip Advisor

Punishment is administered.

Southold, New York, 1843: Young Mary (Stefanie Scott, Insidious Chapter 3), blood trickling from behind the blindfold tied around her eyes, is interrogated about the events surrounding her grandmother’s death. As the story jumps back in time, we witness Mary, raised in a repressively religious household, finding fleeting happiness in the arms of Eleanor (Isabelle Fuhrman, Orphan), the home’s maid. Her family, who believe they are seeing, speaking, and acting on God’s behalf, view the girls’ relationship as an abomination to be dealt with as severely as possible. The couple attempts to carry on in secret, but someone is always watching, or listening, and the wages of perceived sin threaten to become death, with the tension only heightened by the arrival of an enigmatic stranger (Rory Culkin, Lords of Chaos) and the revelation of greater forces at work. Directed by Edoardo Vitaletti.
