Kindertrauma Funhouse Hosted By Ghastly1

Thanks to our gracious host, Unk for allowing me to highjack the Funhouse and hold you hostage this week.
I was purposely trying to be obscure here and see if I could stump ya. The loose theme was EuroObscuro- obscure European horror/thriller films (with two yankee productions thrown in there just for the hell of it).
The answers are as follows:

1.) Black Magic Rites aka The Reincarnation of Isabel (1973)- Those crazy eye-talians. I like that still because it states succinctly my approach to life.

2.) Bloodlust aka Mosquito The Rapist (1977)- JennyD13, zum Wohl!! Will you marry me? because I think I love you; I didn't think anyone would get it. Very good, very nasty Swiss film, highly recommended.

3.) Adrenaline (1990)- French surrealist horror-comedy anthology film about the horrors of modernity

4.) Eyes of Fire (1983)- SmallDarkCloud, fameux. Great underappreciated American folk horror.

5.) Le Necrophile (2004)- A French short film about an aging loner necrophile with a penchant for eating bugs with his lizard tongue who winds up having to take care of his young cousin while remaining true to himself. Heavily inspired by silent films with a very unhinged Tim Burton Edward Scissorhands fairytale feel to it.

6.) Rat Man (1988)- Absolutely spot on, SDC, well done. An Italian film about a little rat-monkey hybrid creature doing what I suppose rat-monkey hybrid creatures do.

7.) The Ghost of Sierra de Cobre (1964)- Kirby, well played, sir. American TV film starring Martin Landau who plays a paranormal investigator who encounters the ghost of a client's deceased mother in law, which is genuinely one of the most horrifically startling apparitions ever.

8.) The Sinful Dwarf (1973)- Something certainly is rotten in Denmark and I think it's Olaf, his mother and the brothel of imprisoned junkie sex slaves they're running in their attic. I thought the clown was very Kindertraumaesque.

9.) The Vampire of Dusseldorf (1965)- Spanish-French-Italian co-production about the life and crimes of Peter Kurten.

10.) Tilbury (1987)- Icelandic folk horror cum socio-political allegory set during the British and American invasion of Reyjavik told from a refreshingly anti-British, anti-American, pro-European perspective. Featuring a supremely odious monster, this has a similar look and feel to The Witches (1990), albeit a psychosexually fucked up version. This film dares to say "we don't want your fucking chocolate" (you'll understand if you see it) and is as relevant in 1987 as it was in 1940 as it is in 2024. I would expect no less from a director whose surname is, Vikingsson.

11.) The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974)- Superlative, Kathryngrace. The Spanish produced what I'd say is probably my favorite zombie film.

12.) 10 Rillington Place (1971)- May the force be with you, Matt Sunshine. One of the greatest British/serial killer films ever made; it's a "gas".

13.) See No Evil (1971)- JennyD, my proposal is still on the table (Unk will have to officiate). Her character might be blind, but nonetheless, even she can see I prefer this British Mia Farrow film (along with Secret Ceremonies and The Haunting of Julia) to Rosemary's Baby.

Thanks for taking the time to play, everyone. Have a wonderful weekend.
