4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!
Today is the 96th anniversary of the birth of Jesus Franco! One of the most prolific filmmakers of all time, Franco made movies that …. well, they’re not easy to describe. Jess Franco was responsible for some of the most visually striking and narratively incoherent films ever made. He made films that you either loved or you hated but there was no mistaking his work for being the work of someone else.
Today, in honor of his birthday, here are….

Color me a fan of Jess/Jesus Franco. I might of posted in the past loving his take on Dracula. 1970 “Count Dracula” starring the great Christopher Lee with Herbert Lom & Klaus Kinski in solid support!

Many don’t know him, and don’t know that he was one of the most prolific directors in film history – because of all of the remastered special editions, I now own more than 25 of his film, including 3 of these!
