Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
The Duc de Richleau (Christopher Lee) discovers that a young man of his acquaintance has fallen in with a satanic cult led by
BlofeldMocata (Charles Gray). Richleau essentially plays the same roles as Doctor Strange in most Marvel comics, a sort of confident elder statesman seemingly operating on a higher plane. The resulting tone isn't horror's typical fear, but a sort of existential dread; there's more fear that Richleau's companions will scorn his advice than that he himself will be hurt. Loved it!
