Review of Shanks (1974) by Christopher S — 26 Mar 2010
Now this is a strange film. Directed by William Castle (his last), it's really just a vehicle for legendary mime Marcel Marceau's odd talents. It's really the excellent and atmospheric score by Alex North that carries this nearly silent gothic fairy tale.
The production values are uneven, and it's slow-paced and overlong, but an interesting and original oddity for cult movie fans.
