Das Engelsgesicht – Drei Nächte des Grauens: Directed by Philippe Mora. With Ronny Cox, Bibi Besch, Paul Clemens, Don Gordon. A young woman gets raped by a mysterious man-creature, and years later her son begins a horrific transformation into a similar beast.

“Paul Clemens first came to my attention, with an excellent performance as a teenager with tourettes syndrome in the u0026quot;Quincyu0026quot; episode, u0026quot;Seldom silent, Never heardu0026quot;. When u0026quot;Fangoriau0026quot; revealed that he was going to star in this horror film, I got real interested. It was a blast to see at a Tucson drive in, on first release. (probably with a 6-pack of Molsonu0026#39;s in the trunk)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe southern setting, (and the presence of Ronny Cox), give this mutant rape saga, a slight touch of u0026quot;Deliveranceu0026quot;. Clemens suffers as necessary, rather convincingly, until the Tom Burman effects take center stage towards the end. This is a very well acted horror film, unusual for this type and time, with some real twists, unlikely as they might be. Burmanu0026#39;s effects are top drawer for the pre-digital age. The ending is as perverse, and ludicrous, as one could hope. Take it as you will, this is a longtime favorite, a real change of pace from the interchangeable masked, holiday killers. (you know, u0026quot;Halloweenu0026quot;, u0026quot;New Yearu0026#39;s Evilu0026quot;, u0026quot;Hell Nightu0026quot;, u0026quot;My Bloody Valentineu0026quot;, u0026quot;Prom Nightu0026quot;, u0026quot;Friday The 13thu0026quot;, etc…) Your response may change with your mood.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e–Judexdot1–“
