  • I'm seeing on the Net that Jose Ramon Larraz has passed away

    Sad news. The man made some amazing pictures (SYMPTOMS is my fave).

    I wish the man's films had better representation on DVD/BD.

    That is bad news, Vampyres was one of the films that got me started in the whole crazy cult movie shebang way back when... RIP Jose!

      Tim Lucas confirmed it on his blog. Agreed that he should be better represented, he made some great movies and had a lot of talent.
      Rock! Shock! Pop!

        Privately I asked Pete about why Larraz was so under-represented on DVD, and his answer was unsurprising: rights-holders wanting too much money. As is so often the case with Euro films.

            I was dead chuffed today when actress Judy Matheson (who appeared in Larraz's SCREAM AND DIE - very memorably, you may remember) went on social media to sing the praises of my recent article about Larraz's British films (for Horrified Magazine). Made my day - nay, week - nay, month - nay, life!:

                        Nice article and it represents the films well. The one I still don't have a decent copy of is Deviation

                          Thanks, bud. Yes, Deviation sorely needs a decent release. (I'd like to see a better HD release of Scream and Die! also but can live with what I've got for the time being.)
