1974: Fifty Years Later / Symptoms

Support our Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke 1974 was a
landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting international
cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that still
resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a different
guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about,
ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything
else in between. Debuting in competition at the 1974 Cannes Film
Festival was British thriller Symptoms from Catalan director José
Ramón Larraz, a difficult-to-synopsize terror tone poem featuring
Angela Pleasence being threatened by psychosexual hallucinations
and a peeping odd-job man. Joining us to rake the leaves of this
moody manor are Dan Pullen and Bradley J. Kornish of the Movies
from Hell website and podcast who give their opinions on Spanish
genre directors of the decade, the film's place among hysterical
women movies like Repulsion and how horror movies were beginning to
evolve in 1974. Movies from Hell website: moviesfromhell.com The
