Horror tonite on TV

[jj]

Ginger Snaps (werewolf) followed by the classic Black Cat (Beeb2).
And something called Road Trips is on Beeb 1- Marino ought to sue......

If it's horror you're into, any Saturday night on ITV1 is the place to be

ginger snaps is something if an overlooked gem, imo. if anyone likes it enough to buy it (as i did) seek out the excellent canadian collectors edition disc - far superior to any of the other regional releases.

ulmers 'black cat' is a baroque, proto-noir masterpiece, repleat with great performances, superb cinematography and an amazing set design.

a very tasty double bill, in fact.

A very funny film IMO. Missed the first half as The Premiership takes priority, although watching our lot, I wish I'd missed it!!
The French Toast scene and the grandad getting a boner and knocking the vase of a table are very funny viewing

Ginger Snaps: 'Ginger' great (good title pun, too) as an averagely-
obnoxious teenager, except with nasty pointy teeth. Nice tie-in with the 'menstrual' theory of lycanthropism........The teen angst thing was a bit rich for my blood (get QUITE enough of that in Real Life, TYVM), but a good effort overall- great actors, especially the two principals, and nice to see Mimi R as a ditzy mom (having now forgiven her for her brief fling with Tom Thumb......). Why are the Canadians SO damned good at decent film-
making?
Black Cat: good, if over-mannered (goes with the territory, I supose): set-design v reminiscent of Lang- incredibly atmospheric. Did you spot Boris billed merely as 'Karloff'? Loved the 'so good you won't mind the credits again' schtick........
