This is the second of my film blogs following on from my original (filmfantastique.blogspot.com) which was shut down recently. My blog is a way to record films I see so that I can double check later on. Normally with horror films I watch them and then immediately forget what they are called! I watch all kinds of films, from classic, world cinema, thrillers and anime. Very rarely does a day pass without me seeing a film of some sort! All comments and film discussion welcome. Enjoy my ranting!

Lady in a Cage - 1964 *
Starts off well, but then descends into something half mad and half hilarious as Olivia de Havilland flails about in her rickety and broken lift, talking to herself and screaming like a moron at a tramp who breaks into her house to make off with her toaster and horrendous porcelain figurines.
Some scenes were so preposterous I laughed out loud, which I doubt wasn't the director's intended idea. The whole scene where de Havilland keeps ringing the 'emergency bell' which is located outside and goes unnoticed was excruciatingly embarrassing. The direction of this film is awful, and I have no idea why de Havilland would have stooped so low as to have her name associated with it.
