She Freak (1967)
"There are only two kinds of freaks, ladies and gentlemen: those created by God and those made by men. I guess both of them had a hand in what you see here."
#she freak#american cinema#exploitation film#asylum of the insane#1967#david f. friedman#byron mabe#donn davison#claire brennen#lee raymond#lynn courtney#bill mckinney#claude earl jones#ben moore#vanteen#madame lee#marsha drake#felix silla#william bagdad#sandra holcomb#william allen castleman#cheap schlock unofficial remake of Tod Browning's Freaks for the gaudy technicolor 60s#it certainly looks quite striking and has a pleasantly vibrant aesthetic to its scenes of carnival hijinks and melodramatic affairs#but the film spends most of its run time on the day to day of carnie life and on star Brennen's journey from diner waitress to femme fatale#and wicked queen of the carnivals misfits (god forbid a woman have ambition 😏) and the actual horror element appears only in the final 5#mins. theyre 5 good mins! but i wish the film had found a little of that energy earlier in its run bc this is something of a slog tbh#a different director shot inserts and this was rereleased as Asylum of the Insane but those inserts were a special feature on the disc i#watched and somehow they achieve the impossible by being more dull than the og film.#a bit of a meh watch but it does look intermittently groovy

Mandrake
A strong cast and atmospheric direction are swamped by a faulty script in Lynne Davison’s Irish folk horror MANDRAKE (2022, Shudder, AMC+). Divorced parole officer Deirdre Mullin takes on the case of a recently released husband killer (Derbhie Crotty) nicknamed “Bloody Mary.” Mullin cares about her job and wants to help the people she supervises, and she may feel an added responsibility for Crotty, who killed because her husband had almost killed her for having an affair. In addition, Mullin only has visitation rights with her son, while Crotty’s son was born in prison and taken from her. When two children go missing, Mullin wants to believe it wasn’t Bloody Mary but has to contend with strong local assumptions that it was.
All of that could make for a solid thriller, but screenwriter Matt Harvey shows his hand too soon. Early on, we see that Crotty was indeed involved in the kidnapping, working with a man dressed up as The Wandering Man, a devil figure Crotty claims was the real participant in her affair. It’s pretty easy to figure out who the man is, so instead of a whodunnit, you get a whydunnint, only we never answer that question. We don’t know why they’ve kidnapped the children or do much of anything. They just do it. And most of what they do doesn’t seem supernatural. It’s derived from herbalism and folk medicine. The cast tries very hard to make this work, and the scenes between Mullin and Crotty are particularly well acted. Under Davison’s direction, the woods become another character in the film. That’s almost enough to carry you through, and there’s something rather satisfying about the last scene until Harvey pulls the rug out with a bit that’s neither explained nor prepared for. I’d call it a shock for shock’s sake, but it’s not even that much of a shock. It’s just a little whimper to remind you of everything in the film that didn’t work.

Henry VII statue on Bath Abbey by Lynn Davison-Suckow
Bishop Oliver King organised the restoration of Bath Abbey after 1500. The story of the refounding is told on the front of the Abbey in carved Bath stone. King had a dream in which he saw a host of Angels on a ladder, the Holy Trinity and an olive tree with a crown on it. He heard a voice: 'Let an Olive establish the crown, and let a King restore the Church.' King believed this was a call for him to support the candidature of Henry Tudor as King, and to restore the Abbey. These images are carved on the West Front of the Abbey with coats of arms of the Montague Family (who paid for the carved wooden doors) and Henry VII's coat of arms. There are also statues of the twelve apostles, including a large statue of St Peter and one of Saint Paul.
When Oliver King, Bishop of Bath and Wells, visited Bath in 1499 he was shocked to find the church in ruins. Bishop King planned a smaller church, covering only the area of the Norman nave. He did not live to see the result and the new cathedral was completed just a few years before the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII in 1539. In January 1539 Prior Holloway surrendered Bath Priory to the Crown. The church was stripped of lead, iron and glass and left to rot, but it was rescued a generation later by the citizens of Bath.
The statue is thought to be Victorian in origin.
