House of Seven Belles (1979). 1h 32m | Not Rated

“Andy Milliganu0026#39;s House of Seven Belles has some good qualities. Itu0026#39;s shot on 35mm film, well lit, outstanding period costumes, good locations. What it lacks is a plot. Itu0026#39;s a talky series of scenes, some good, some very slow. The lack of pacing could be attributed to it still being a rough cut, although compared to Milliganu0026#39;s earlier works, it ainu0026#39;t so rough. The problem with the film is marketing. What would Andy have done with it? Itu0026#39;s not horrific enough to be a horror film. Barely anything happens in 92 minutes. There are a few gore effects, but not enough to sustain interest. Itu0026#39;s hard to even picture it as the third feature on a triple bill at the drive-in.”
