DAUGHTER OF HORROR 1955 (SINISTER CINEMA)

I really like this film.

Yes, I have written about this before, but it has been a while and I obtained this DVD from Sinister Cinema to watch with my wife.

This is also known as DEMENTIA and is one of the strangest films I have ever seen. Adrienne Barrett stars as a nameless woman who wakes up in a dirty hotel room after having a nightmare.

She leaves the room and is taken by a fat man who has a lot of money. She kills him when he makes advances at her by pushing him out his 6th floor hotel window. She then cuts off his hand to get back the necklace he tore from her as he fell.

There are just so many bizarre things in this film. Weird set pieces such as the woman being taken by a masked man to a cemetery and shown how she has become insane. That scene always impresses me, and it also impressed my wife.

There is no dialogue in the film except for the narrator. It's a nightmare experience from the insane point of view and it qorks on every level. Bruno Ve Sota stars as the fat rich man and he also co-produced this little gem.

I'm sure most of you reading this have seen the film. It's a must see and my wife had never seen it and was very impressed. There is no other movie like this and never will be. Yes. this is the movie that is playing at the theater in the 1958 version of "The Blob".

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
