Mind numbingly strange is what we want, Oct 3 2001
Blood Suckers is a truly insane film that will make you explode with mirth at wondering 'how can something so stupid possibly exist.' Just when you think viewing this will injure you, you're rescued by gratuitous vampirism and psychedelic party depictions. Some of the shots, for example Patrick Macnee riding a donkey and an uptight Peter Cushing representing the academic elite, will bring gut laughter. As a lover of pschotronic cinema and degenerate film, I recommend this as an example of meta cinema worth checking out every so often. To some, this outing may be too much of a bad thing, but to the converted, its well worthwhile.

gorgeous sensual visions, April 29 2001
This fantastic film allows us to see the vivid fabled visions that must fill Jean Rollins' mind. The flighty narrative is liberated from sequential logic, but is positively elevated in the process. The story comes off like a flickering memory. A haunting attraction pulls us in for a rare glimpse into a dream we can't pull away from for fear of forgetting upon awakening. The characters are beautiful and frail creatures. Possessed with a determination to uphold their forbidden and blithe lust they use childlike luck to guide their journey. An unbelievably beautiful film.

wonderful foray into the depths of the subconscious mind, April 26 2001
Begotten is a brutal and beautiful film of great depth. It goes into the back of your brain to reveal feelings incompatable with daily routine and only seldom approached in film. The film soundtrack is a bliissful experimental work that facillitates the strange seductive magic of the visuals. The viewer is transported to a state of mind reminiscent of that feeling one gets from Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast. A rare and fine experience. Highly recommended.
