redrobin62-321-207311 I gave this movie an eight mainly because of the dark subject matter and all the taboos on display: necrophilia, pedophilia, murder, infidelity, gay pedophilia, etc. I'm glad to have lived this long to see a film like this. That it even came from the US is a wonder.Why, oh, why can't they do films like this anymore? How did society get so...lame? Of course, with today's production values, 'Love Me Deadly' could never be made because a more graphic representation would clear the cinema, leaving behind the sickos like me who don't mind being challenged visually and psychologically.Instead, Hollywood continues to unload derivate, unoriginal tripe like 'Huff' ('Big Bad Wolf') and others of its ilk. To be sure, this movie tends to be melodramatic, but to me that's okay. That was pretty much the style at the time - cheese. Still, what other bit of celluloid can you find that touches upon all those taboos? The cinematography was good with lots of colour, but not great because quite a few frames were out of focus. Minor complaint, though. It's the themes that matter and it'd sure be nice if they made movies that pushes the envelope like this again.
EyeAskance A grueling, peculiar little item which denotes the unnerving tale of a lovely young housewife coming to terms with her compulsive longing for intimacy...with deceased men(um...does rigor-mortis set in down there?). Through frequent off-hand visits to the local mortuary, she networks into a clandestine society of like-minded individuals. Unfortunately, her husband(Lyle Waggoner!) is unaware of her warped desires, and can't understand why he's not "getting any". What I personally feel is the key issue making LOVE ME DEADLY such a memorably divergent trinket is the prudent sensitivity with which it approaches its grotesque premise. It's like watching a melodramatic LIFETIME CHANNEL movie which has replaced its topic of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with necrophilia. Amazingly, this ambilevous wonder-work actually delivers in an ascetic, misfit sort of way...it's not a great movie, or even an especially GOOD movie, but considering the distasteful subject-matter, it's a surprisingly well-groomed production(and for sheer novelty, what more could you possibly hope for?).5.5/10
Hateful Kunt Hmm...well i have no idea why this is rated slow low. Cool 70's fashion, a chick that's into necrophilia and ......Lyle Waggoner! Although this plays like a TV movie from the 70's with nudity, some gore and chicks fu**ing dead dudes, it's actually pretty good! The corpse loving isn't the thing that's messed up in this flick.......it's the beginning when the credits are rolling that you know things have gone into 42nd street sleaze. I wonder if Lyle Waggoner had this on his resume when he auditioned for Carol Burnett!
lobianco This lame attempt at a sleaze horror drama lacks all key elements. Our prudish lead blonde never takes it off. There is no pay off here. Gore scenes are few and far between the insipid romance story book drama that will make you sick. The best acting here is done by corpses. Horror sleaze fans will be gravely displeased. Edited like a bad tv show the screen goes dark in between the scenes as if to break for commercial. Oh and be careful there is a huge homosexual element here. Actually the only nudity is male. This is not mentioned on the box cover and those who attempt to pass off these lame film as a cult hit also fail to mention it. A total disaster of a film you can't even laugh at. A soap opera is more compelling. Avoid at all cost.
