Review of Shanks

Shanks (1974)
7/10
Marcel in a Dual Role
26 July 2021
Without getting into the plot and characters, I don't understand the low rating. Marcel Marceau performance is so underrated here. Somehow, he carries this twisted fairy tale singlehandedly, flawlessly, effortlessly without uttering one syllable. Back in the day I owned a 16mm print of this William Castle gem and I loved it the first time I laid eyes. Dark, nightmarish and otherworldly. A surreal, macabre, foreboding film, and surreal is not easy to achieve, very few have captured that essence like LEMORA, THE LADY DRACULA, VAMPYR and KILL, BABY, KILL. Highly recommended.
