Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic

No pun intended - the documentary itself begins with quite the high stakes ... or a statement that is ... well I am not sure it will go down well with many horror movie fans ... unless they are able to take it with a grain of salt. Because I doubt many knew of Suzzanna ... I sure had no idea who that was - same is true for most if not all the others who attended the festival I saw this at.

All that aside (and hopefully you are able to push that and some other things aside), the documentary is really well done. We know Severin Films is capable that way and capacity. They speak to survivors (people who are still alive, family members and friends as well as co workers and fans) ... and there is a bit of a mystery regarding the later stages of her life ... I would not go as far as calling this ... well the focus is more on her life than how and why she died.

The movies she did before Suzzanna, especially the ones that can be called Horror (though they do look like a lot of fun, if you can laugh at some nasty and blood filled effects - that have dated quite badly ... or in a funny way) ... I want to watch them! I kind of hope Severin puts some of them out ... they look like a "hoot" as they say.

Suzzanna and the man she married ... well let's say some may feel there is a bit of a cringe element to it. Especially considering the emphasis on the characters they played (the relationship between them) ... very first time on screen and very last time ... you'll understand, I hope you are prepared enough for this.

I am curious to see what kind of set Severin will release and while I think the Bruce Lee documentary will top this ... this is a fun watch too ... even if as most you have no clue who that was ...
