Computress’ voice actress

It’s strange I don’t like many actor/actress’ voices but her is quite relaxing like for Micaela Esdra in Italy.

I can listen for them all day long!

And still don’t know who is Computress’ voice actress

Operazione Paura

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo discusso di una pellicola cinese recente, una pellicola blockbuster davvero molto interessante: L’eroe dei due mondi. Una storia che segue due linee di narrazione, una nel mondo reale e l’altra nel mondo fantasy del libro, in cui un padre è alla disperata ricerca della figlia e sarà costretto a fare delle scelte molto…

Spettri, un dramma familiare

Spettri, un dramma familiare

Incipriati di bianco e con le occhiaie nere, gli Spettri di Ibsen si rincorrono senza posa in uno spazio scenico allargato, che lambisce le poltrone del pubblico, quasi a ricreare l’atmosfera dell’Intima Teatern di Stoccolma, diretto per alcuni anni da Strindberg. Agli spettatori non resta che partecipare al dramma familiare ibseniano e farsi sfiorare dai suoi fantasmi, che sono anche i nostri. (…

Kill, Baby…Kill! [Operation Fear] [Operazione paura]

— Monica

Daphne picked this Bava classic and she loves Kill, Baby… Kill! right from the opening scene in which a distraught woman impales herself on wrought iron fence spikes. From the costumes to the atmospheric village, she’s all in. Chad was never drawn in by the title or the poster, but now that he’s seen Kill, Baby… Kill!, he thinks it’s a beautiful movie. It has that Bava look and feel with almost a Hammer, gothic sensibility. Jeff’s first thought is, “Not another Italian horror movie with a creepy kid,” but now, Kill, Baby… Kill! is one of his favorite horror movies. He loves everything about it – story, cinematography, acting, set design – and it’s scary as well.

In a strange marketing ploy, Kill, Baby… Kill! was given a new title, paired with two other films, and the resulting retitled trio was billed as “Orgy of the Living Dead.” As promised on the podcast, here is a link to the “Orgy of the Living Dead” Trailer. 

The Classic Era Grue Crew strongly recommends Kill, Baby… Kill! At the time of this writing, the film is available to stream on the Classic Horror Movie Channel, Wicked Horror TV, Shudder, and Kanopy, and on physical media as a Kino Classics Blu-ray.
