The Diabolical Dr. Z
Redemption / Kino Lorber
Blu-ray

Picked up by a reputable producer, Jesús Franco takes yet another stab at conventional B&W horror. The pulp thrills get a boost through the contributions of talented collaborators: excellent camerawork flatters the idiosyncratic obsessions of a writer-director trying to get a grip on something resembling a dream-world sensibility. Although it’s not saying much, this might be the best of Franco’s earlier B&W horror output. With Estella Blain, Mabel Karr, Howard Vernon; on Blu-ray from Redemption / Kino Lorber.
