Favorite movies list
The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
Humorous horror movie. A triumph of stylisation.
Rosemary's Baby (1968)
A woman dreams she has been impregnated by the devil. Heavily-influenced the horror genre with its psychological tone.
Bitter Moon (1992)
Story of a couple self destruction. Veers erratically from salacious erotica to black comedy to clumsy psychodrama.
