Letterboxd review
★★★½ Watched by Lou (rhymes with wow!) 22 Jun 2021Deliciously gothic and weirdly erotic, Death Smiles on a Murder is a wonderful slice of Joe D’Amato bizarreness. The movie has an almost dream-like quality to it, which had me clueless as to what exactly was unfolding on screen. All I know for certain is that when you give Klaus Kinski some beakers you’ll end up with magic. Also, there is no such thing as too many cat jump scares.
I got to search out some more Ewa Aulin movies.Read More »
