DARK WATERS – ‘Dark Waters’ gives dodgy convents, shunned islands and, above all, loads of candles. It’s practically an orgy of flickering flame, so much so that it’s perfectly happy to make do with burning crosses when the wax runs out. A film that exists to overdose us on gothic atmosphere – happily, it succeeds very well in this, presenting a concentration of early eighties Italian nunsploitation vibes without the usual plodding, for narrative is very spare and secondary to imagery. There’s even a bit of monster at the end – don’t know about ‘Lovecraftian’, but very nice that they tried. Highly recommended.

Think i'll go get my amulet from this film, surround it with candles and see if i can invoke some nunsploitation when i give it a rewatch.
One i used to own on vhs as well as that rather sexy NoShame box set.
@Frankie - You should really try and see
Don't Let Them In. I bet it's so down your street your bins are outside.
Same goes for the wonderfully original
Hellions.
