Sorry, this movie sucks

As Good As It Gets

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Before Bruno Gantillon made his classic and first feature "Morgane et ses nymphes" (1971) he made this short and I must say for a short already 40 years old it still works. I wont go into the story but you can't see coming what is happening with the girl. But the acting for a short was excellent, even for a first attempt it was well edited and it surely got a creepy feeling when the girl is drugged with some gas. It's a simple effect using a wide angle lens and a fully zoomed in. It's available as an extra on the "Morgane et ses nymphes" DVD.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

This is a bonus short film on Mondo Macabro's "Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fay" DVD.20-year-old Catherine is hired as caretaker by a kindly old couple.The girl is gassed and murdered during her first night of stay.The film debut of Bruno Gantillon is well-acted and executed.The twist ending is surprising and very memorable.The film has some clever cinematic touches like the nightmarish hallucination sequence wherein the grotesque masks of her hosts leer over Catherine as the drug first takes effect.This particular moment of insanity reminded me some well-known horror movies made by Roman Polanski.I enjoyed "Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fay" more,but this one is also worth checking out.
