ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS VOL.2 WINS BEST FILM (THE PETER VON BAGH AWARD) AT IL CINEMA RITROVATO

"Whatever one feels about horror, ghost, or zombie flicks, one can only admire the gang at Severin for curating this ambitious anthology with the same care and seriousness as Criterion or Studio Canal applies to classic cinema, but with a good measure of nuttiness added. Peter Von Bagh would have loved this adventurous collection which runs the gamut from Japanese ghost film to lycanthropy in Lapland to British Seventies biker schlock (complete with stone circles and a ghostly George Sanders, three months from suicide). There is a great black and white Estonian horror film (Rainer Sarnet’s 2017 November), lame Sixties folk-singing ghost flicks, and films from many countries not often mentioned here or anywhere. All this was wonderfully packaged and curated under the supervision of Kier-la Janisse, author of the unforgettable book House of Psychotic Women." – (Philippe Garnier)
