Review of Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1974) by Pavandeep S — 21 Aug 2007

This is a very sweet and naive tale of a girl, who for some reason, due to her beauty and purity, gets involved in things way above her. What I liked a lot about this movie to justify my stars is that it is a beautiful tale of a girl, who goes to a huge distance to forgive her murdering father, who killed her adulterous, unchristian mother and ends up in a town of zombies and vampires, each vying for power and she is caught in between.

Though there are holes in the plot at times, like how the father became a zombie, maybe because he was evil in a monstrous way and not evil in a beautiful way like the vampires, it doesn't matter, the story is of the girl.

The camera and cinematography is just brilliant. Really nicely done on a shoestring budget and primitive equipment, even the dolly wasn't the most effective I've seen. Honestly, a good exploitation film where we see a tale of a fight between religion, immortatality and monstrosity.
