故事发生在充满了异域风情的马来西亚，天机莱斯利（贝蒂·戴维斯 Bette Davis 饰）在那里和丈夫罗伯特（赫伯特·马歇尔 Herbert Marshall 饰）一起经营着一间橡胶种植园，天机日子过得十分安逸。某天，罗伯特外出公干，留下莱斯利一人看家，哪知道很快，便传来了噩耗，莱斯利开枪将一个名叫大卫的男人给打死了，而莱斯利坚称大卫想要袭击她，她开枪杀人纯属自卫。罗伯特相信了莱斯利所言，找到了律师霍华德（詹姆斯·斯蒂芬森 James Stephenson 饰）为妻子辩护，可是，让他们没有想到的是，大卫的妻子哈蒙德太太（盖尔·桑德加德 Gale Sondergaard 饰）手上握有莱斯利和大卫偷情的证据。

回复 :去年导演Peter Greenaway有来香港出席HKIFF, 当然一如过去, 都有捧Nightwatching场. Nightwatching已经是比较容易明白的了, 相比起A Life in Suitcases和一系列的The Tulse Luper Suitcases. 近年多放时间在舞台上的Peter Greenaway, 电影集中描写Rembrandt及他创作油画The Night Watching的过程, 美不胜收, 拍摄手法完美得令人醉倒.这回又是Rembrandt, 怎可错过Rembrandt's J'Accuse属essayistic documentary, 即剧情纪录片. 又一次被对导演杀个措手不及. 有观众离场(好像他的电影总是这样, 有人会钓鱼, 有人顶唔住... ), 虽然没想过此片会是这个形式, 但又是十个惊喜, 不少啼笑皆非的地方.导演这回对油画The Night Watch来个地毯式搜查, 幽默又批判地评论现今视觉艺术知识的无知. 油画上三十四个人物差不多都被细致地分析、研究. 人物的高度, 背景, 手, 甚至身体器官都细谈一番, 某程度上甚具娱乐性.配乐和他的其他作品一样, 依然震撼. 这回由作曲家Giovanni Sollima及Marco Robino负责.第一次在银幕上多次见到Peter Greenaway以教授式解说. 很值得一看.

回复 :PANIC BEATS begins with a totally nude woman with welts on her body, running through a misty forest full of decayed skeletons. A knight on horseback is chasing her, and we soon learn that he is Alaric de Marnac (a wicked character Naschy first created for HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB), viciously killing her for her unfaithful ways. After the credits role, we are taken to the present where a descendent of Marnac named Paul (Naschy) is married to the wealthy Geneviève (Julia Saly) was has some serious heart problems. Paul decides to take her to his ancestral home in the country for some peace and quiet, but the superstitious-filled setting opens a Pandora’s Box of terrible occurrences.We soon discover that Paul is a real son-of-a-bitch who plans to scare his wife to death, planning to control her fortune and continue his secret affair with seductive bad girl Mireille (Silvia Miró), who happens to be the niece of the tarot card-reading housekeeper, Mabile (Lola Gaos). Paul’s malevolent scheme works, but he still has to worry about an additional money-hungry mistress (this guy really gets around!), the unforgiving Mabile, as well as new fianceé Mireille who might be hiding a thing or two herself. More grisly murders follow, and the ghost of Marnac returns from hell to punish the most despicable human character in the film.PANIC BEATS was also written by Naschy (under his real name Jacinto Molina) who injects the film with an old-fashioned spooky house motif, beefed up with a modern movie sense of violence and sexuality. The film offers nothing too innovative storywise, and even Naschy admits on the disc’s extras that it was partly inspired by GASLIGHT and REBECCA, but he seems to just toss in a hodgepodge of exploitation and horror ingredients, while delivering a stylish and enjoyable effort with a number of twists and some genuinely chilling moments. The camera shots and lighting are both effective, and there's even does a cool set-up (much like what Freddie Francis did in THE SKULL and THE CREEPING FLESH) where we see the point of view of Marnac through his dark helmet as he stalks his female prey. Graphically, we are exposed to everything from a plate of bloody eyeballs, to victims being beaten relentlessly with the various Medieval weapons affixed on the house’s walls (for example, someone is axed in the stomach, followed by the soaked entrails oozing out!). Naschy’s most frequent 1980s leading lady, Julia Saly, is not given much to do, but with her offbeat looks, is a nice presence nonetheless. The prominent female star here is Silvia Miró who is seen in the buff frequently, and she certainly makes for some well-appreciated Euro starlet eye candy. Naschy himself is very good in the film, putting on conniving facades, carrying a number of women on a string, being a real malicious bastard, and for the umpteenth time in his career, playing two roles in a one film.http://www.dvddrive-in.com/reviews/n-s/panicbeats8283.htm
