Review of Shanks (1974) by Jacob F — 02 Aug 2010
Castle's final film is one of the most bizarre; not so much in its fairy tale-esque maccabre but rather in it's distant yet bi-polar tone. There are some awesome near experimental sequences and what the film is trying to do, make a mime-based neo-silent film is commendable, but worth only a glancing look by the most devoted of horror buffs.
There's hardly a story and what is there doesn't merit a feature film, and after a while the film feels laborious and repetitive.
