Mini-Review: Has to be my least favorite movie of all time. Not only is it painfully horrible all the way through, it also dared to be so ghastly while ripping off one of the (very few) absolute masterpieces of cinema. Shame on all people who participated in making this piece of junk.

Mini-Review: Although it is essentially a critique of Spanish post-war social situation, for me it was mostly a piece about the effect films have on their viewers. Perhaps it wasn't the main theme of the picture (it's certainly not "Peeping Tom"), but that was something that really stood out for me. I was impressed with Erice's depiction of children - the two girls are not afraid of their surroundings after watching "Frankenstein", instead they become more fascinated with the mysterious world around them.
