Audience Member This turned out to be a surprisingly special little flick. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Just watched on youtube, not really an Easter movie. Just barely watchable, movie about mentally unstable woman and a cult of killers. Strange and misses the mark as often as it hits. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member now, i watch a lot of weird movies, but this one was... weird. i don't really know what to say about it. it's gotta be pretty racy for the early 70's doesn't it? i mean, not that they really show anything happening, but there is quite a bit of nudity among both men and women. and i'm not quite sure i followed the story in it's entirety, either. the story itself was weird and the way it was produced was also kind of weird. it's definitely a creepy movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member An appropriately blasphemous recommendation for viewing on a shivering Sunday or other parking holiday --Love Me Deadly (1973), released in the immediate wake of The Exorcist's success. This story of a woman with a troubled past who is drawn into a cult of necrophiliacs frequenting a Hollywood-area funeral parlor is perhaps more entertaining for its cynical edges, the gay bars of Santa Monica Boulevard and galleries of Melrose Avenue. It is interesting that the film's Canadian female lead, Mary Charlotte Wilcox, eventually went back to her native land to write (and occasionally perform) for SCTV (1981-1984) and later be ordained as an Anglican priest.

It may have its occasional exploitative moment but the story is surprisingly effective and the lead actress is sympathetic and compelling. There really hasn't been that many films that took necrophilia seriously and this character study works and leaves the viewer with a clever twist. It's not high art but as far as cult films go, it's bold and successfully twisted. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member On tämä 70-luvun alussa voinut olla kovakin juttu, mutta 2012 katsottuna lähinnä huvittavan pitkäveteinen.
