  Monsters At Play: Carnival Of Souls Review
Carnival of Souls, the bastard stepchild to Night of the Living Dead, is often left in the shadows and forgotten about.
Filmed on an extremely modest budget, Carnival of Souls tells the story of Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) who is thrust into a nightmarish world after a horrible car accident.
Carnival of Souls still holds on and is just as effective today as it was almost 40 years ago.

 Classic-Horror Review of Carnival of Blood (1970)
Carnival of Blood is so beautifully original in composition and execution that it reminds you what an art form filmmaking is. This isn't to suggest that some films are not art or that most are not quality art.
Specific recipes for composing films are so firmly entrenched that they are inflated to a notion that those recipes are objective ones, necessary to create quality films.
Carnival of Blood is even unusual in more fine details, such as the brilliantly bizarre chattering but soundless head of the lady bickerer in the corner of the title screens.

 Internet Archive: Details: Carnival of Souls
the plot of carnival is a quite simple story: a girl is chased by the dead woh want to pull her into their world.
The keys to this film's power is the minimalist direction of industrial-short film maker Herke Harvey and the extraordinary performance of it's lead actress Candace Hilligoss, whose fearful eyed mounting dread at the increasingly macabre unreality around her propels this film way beyond it's B-movie status.
He is intricately involved in the Carnival (in the technical sense of the term) for Mary Henry.

 Beyond Cinema Novo by Robert Stam and Randal Johnson
The films share a certain political optimism, characteristic of the developmentalist years, but due as well to the youth of the directors, a kind of faith that merely showing these problems would be a first step toward their solution.
If the films of the first phase were optimistic, those of the second phase are anguished cries of perplexity; they are analyses of failure — of populism, of developmentalism, and of leftist intellectuals.
While the films of the first phase tended to be rural in their setting, films of the second phase were predominantly urban.

 The Rewind Forums :: View topic - Carnival of Souls (R1 America)
The film is about Mary Henry (Candice Hilligoss) and the strange events that happen to her after she’s in a car accident.
She starts seeing a white-faced man (played by the film’s director Herk Harvey) who stalks her throughout the film, and passes a large abandoned carnival on the salt flats at the edge of town.
For a film of its age the transfer is quite clear, there are however the occasional signs of age such as scratches, minor print damage and dirt appearing onscreen but does not cause a major distraction.

 CMIL-mainframe
All of the films were created in a cameraless, or "direct" style of animation by drawing and painting directly on the surface of clear 35mm film leader.
Each title may be purchased individually or, better yet, all three films may be purchased together on one cassette, with a short new explanatory introduction to the trilogy created by the filmmaker specifically for this cassette.
The style of animated film is ideally suited to the presentation of medieval story material, conveying a very good sense of the vividness and wonder which are often lost in translation and in modern rewritings.

Jeunet’s previous films such as Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children, and the underrated Alien: Resurrection are all bleak dystopian visions of scientific progress running amok, with horrific violence interspersed with fl comedy and small but powerful doses of beauty and hope.

Films like that are The Sixth Sense, Kwaidan, Daughters of Darkness, Dreyer's Vampyr, the films of Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, the original Pulse), and this film too.
The documentaries about the making of the film and its history are the highlight of the extra material, and this is mainly for the diehard fan.
Carnival of Souls is one of my favorite kinds of movie - the low budget horror film that manages to unnerve, and create a world of mystery and possibilities despite - and sometimes even because of - its lack of funding.

 Ronald Neame
Ronald Neame was one of the first "second-generation" moviemakers: he was the son of silent film director Elwin Neame, and his mother was silent film star Ivy Close.
After several years of uncredited work on silent films and early talkies from A Little Bit of Fluff to Hitchcock's Blackmail, his first film as full-fledged cinematographer was Happy.
As a director many of his films were great artistic and commercial successes, but most are too British or too dated to be known to modern American audiences.

 Poirot -- Complete Collection (A&E)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
These means that the framing through much of the films is quite awkward: at times the character who is speaking barely on the screen, and at other times the balance of the scene looks off, or the close-ups are uncomfortably close.
Of course, the new adaptation stays much closer to the book than the earlier film (though it does add the series regulars Inspector Japp, Colonel Hastings and Miss Lemon, who were not in the book), and despite the fact that Ustinov made an enjoyable Poirot, Suchet is simply unparalleled in the role.
Unfortunately, as with the other recent Poirot films, while it has obviously been filmed in widescreen for British television, A&E is offering a full-screen version on their disc.

 Agatha Christie Megaset (A&E)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The next actress to tackle the role on film was stage/screen legend Helen Hayes, who was much closer to the mark than either Lansbury or Rutherford, and closer to the spirit of the books, though the productions themselves were rather lackluster.
Although these films (like most of BBCs period pieces, apparently), a filter was used to give the image a period feel, but that doesn't account for the overall poor quality of the transfers, which are often excessively grainy.
The rest of the films, made in the eighties, are not old enough that they should be in such terrible condition.

 BBC - Stoke and Staffordshire Films - Carnival in Flanders Review
The women will use their feminine wiles to seduce the invaders and save the town from being pillaged.
Full of earthy pleasures - eating, drinking and some surprisingly cheeky bedroom merrymaking - Carnival Of Flanders is a wickedly fast-paced comedy that greets its audience with a sly series of nods and winks.
The carnival tradition has always been about letting the poor and powerless be king (or queen) for a day, and it's no different here as order is eventually re-established.
