Bitter Cinema

Bitter Cinema on Tumblr

A sister site, if you will… a bit easier to update and post for the time being. This particular site is not dead by a long shot, but longer form thrills and chills may not be on hand for the foreseeable future, and even then, the subject matter and main thrust of the site may be something completely different than what’s been here for more than eight years. We shall see, won’t we?

But, if you’ve liked the grab-bag aesthetic of pics, movie posters, odd juxtapositions, check out http://bittercinema.tumblr.com. Maybe you’ll even like some of it…

Who are you?

Nightmare fodder for many a 70s child (spoiled by USA, of course), usually first glimpsed on late nite TV, maybe a local spot on Carson, the CBS Late Movie, or ABC’s Wide World of Entertainment. Featuring Juliet Mills, star of the 60s family sitcom Nanny and the Professor, Beyond the Door was an Italo-horror sort of blatant Exorcist ripoff, this time with the mama and not the kiddo possessed by demons. The name of the film in Italy was Chi Sei?, which, translates to the TV preview’s skin-tingling catchphrase, “Who are you?”, which probably rendered many sleepless, shadowy nights back in 1974.
