The Film Talk: The Testament of Doctor Mabuse

    The Germans certainly have a knack for the creepy picture. "Nosferatu" remains one of the eerie-est of pictures I've seen.

    In fact, I think horror / scary films were much better done years ago than they are today - is it because today's films primarily rely on "shock" scares instead of crafting a truly frightening image? "Freaks", and films like the one you just suggested, seem to go far above visually than what most scary films of today are capable of. Maybe the black & white adds something to it...

    For some reason 'Seesmic' seized-up when recording - here's what I had to say, (odd that it's on their website but not posted here: http://seesmic.com/video/IprwoiunKu

    Finally watched 'Testement of Dr M' last night and thought it was great - made me want to watch M again. Only critcism - a little too much police/crime thriller and not enough scary Dr M. Prompted me tonight to go back another 5 years and watch 'Passion of Joan of Arc' (sat in my DVD cupboard for over a year and never watched). I can't believe how good it was - it completely lived up to its reputation.
