[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 430456, member: 57984"] I'm watching an old British horror film with Stephanie Beacham (and a few others, like Peter Cushing) inartfully titled ...AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS (1973) in which Beacham marries into a wealthy family and immediately starts having bizarre hallucinations, soon realizing that the estate is cursed. Well, duh. At 25, gorgeous Stephanie Beacham is already full-on Sable Colby. So far, there's not much of a script, the dialogue minimal, and it's all a bunch of sight-shocks, shrieks and unsubtle visual tricks. But the cast is good, and the movie looks great -- proving again my oft-made point that that shrouded, moody, deeply atmospheric, color-noir style of direction and camerawork from the early-'70s are [B][I]marvelously [/I][/B]focusing, even when the plot is parchment-thin. I never lost my taste for it. But that style soon went out of vogue in the movie business, it never really came back.
