AHMP: The Flesh and Blood Show
Subject: The Flesh and Blood Show. 1972, Dir. Pete Walker.
Preliminary remarks:
TRAILER! Actors at a seaside theatre are being killed off one by one by an unknown maniac.
ANALYSIS:
An appalling amalgam of verbiage an verbosity.
Well now, hold on one minute. This isn't in black and white? I wasn't going to watch this movie, but now that I know it's been stained -gruesomely!- in color, gosh...that changes everything! Thanks, Evi...whoever you are.
Great font selection. Really evokes that boardwalk attraction feel. Especially the bloodier aspects of it.
I'll admit my Farah Fawcett posters weren't like the ones you normally saw plastered to a young man's ceiling.
"Hmm, it seems having a Manson look-alike isn't going to be enough. But you know what? I'll bet if we cross him with Jack Frost, we'll make millions!
Another young Hollywood guillotine succumbs to the pressure to whore itself up with lipstick.
Playing wheelbarrow fail.
Conclusion: interesting poster. Totally horror, but it feels somehow lacking. B-/C+.

"Playing wheelbarrow fail"
ReplyDeleteHAH! Nice one.
Not too sure who Evi is either, but I do know one thing... He's not *completely* evil.
No, he seems to be missing something. ;P
