love is evil

I am going to try to convince you all that love is evil... at least inthis picture it is.because of the bad projection, I saw more corpses on the screen thanliving creatures, but maybe it's because this movie was strong horrorin its time. anyway, the story is a bit like the one we all know, theFaust dilemma.the situation of wanting to do everything for the one we love, canbring us torment and strong agony (this movie seems to say). if youforgive the wrongs of your love, you are cursed with your own pity...really? must we always believe in God and never follow our 'humble'Devil? are there demons among us and if so, are we one of them? infact, the simple story of this film leaves us with more questions thananswers (espacially the Spartacus-like ending). the message seems to bethat if we do what we believe is right for the one we love, we can beable to do terrible things, even without knowing it ourselves.so Star Wars is right: love is the devil. you will never forget thedevil in this picture. he's so cliché, but like that, we all willremember him (and the demons on the screen or in the 'war', that looksa lot like the rape scene in Flaming Creatures).but nowadays, this picture is terrible old and the effects does notalways work very well. if you want to do yourself a favor, do not seethis picture.

Not the Best Place to Live!

I had not heard of this film. At my age and with all the movies I'veviewed, it's surprising that it never crossed my path. I was mostintrigued by how the desirability of the male form has changed overtime. This guy would be considered an overweight lunk nowadays. As itis, he is admired for his strength and his morality. That's the way itshould be. The filmmakers have created a real world, depicting hell insort of a Danteesque portrayal. This man makes the ultimate sacrifice;his soul; in order to gain vengeance against Satan himself. Of coursehe makes some mistakes along the way, but he has a pure being andendures all that is thrown at him. The images are incredible for thetime and the story is interesting. I guess this fellow was part of acanon of films that no longer exist. It's worth a shot, just to see howquickly a gifted filmmaker could begin to see the possibilities of thenew technology.
