The Val Lewton boxset is an astounding collection. Each movie is too much to take in in a single viewing.

3 things about Jacques Tourneur’s THE LEOPARD MAN [1943]
1. A scratched hand is the only time we see blood.
2. Compensation for his lost leopard: $250.
3. Nocturnal, hooded procession straight out of a Buñuel film.#3things #movies #halloween #horrormovies #ValLewton #cinema #CinemaMastodon

3 things about Mark Robson’s THE GHOST SHIP [1943]
1. Chain cacophony.
2. Rigging an alarm system using a torn bedsheet.
3. He violently smashes the plaque in half.#3things #horrormovies #halloween #ValLewton #movies #cinema #cinemastodon

The Ghost Ship (1943) directed by Mark Robson is seen as one of the lesser of the 1940s Val Lewton-produced RKO horror films. That may be true but it's still a very fine visually impressive shipboard horror film.

Producer Val Lewton is one of the most important figures in horror film history, but is, unfortunately, only really discussed today by filmmakers and cinephiles. This sequence from CAT PEOPLE is a MasterClass in how to create tension and terror onscreen, a carefully orchestrated attack on the senses common in his films.

I Walked With a Zombie (1943), the best voodoo movie ever made and the best zombie movie ever made. A superb example of subtle intelligent character-driven horror.
Directed by Jacques Tourneur for Val Lewton's RKO B unit.
Inspired by Charlotte Brontë’s great gothic novel Jane Eyre.
It treats voodoo quite seriously and without sensationalism.

The Body Snatcher (1945) was the first of the three Val Lewton RKO horror films to star Boris Karloff.
Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s story which was based on the infamous West Port Murders (for which Burke and Hare were believed responsible).
It's not in the top rank of Lewton movies but it's very enjoyable and it does have Karloff.

The Seventh Victim (AKA The 7th Victim, 1943), one of the RKO horror B-movies produced by Val Lewton. This is possibly the bleakest movie made in Hollywood in the 40s. It's a mystery story, but with devil-worshippers and a distinct film noir vibe. Great movie.
