One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar Winners

Chariots of Fire / Alice Krige as Sybil Gordon

Year: 1981

Designer: Milena Canonero

This cream-colored dress looks just perfect for a warm summer day. It has the by-now-familiar semi-sheer top over an opaque foundation (compare these costumes from Enchanted April, which is set around the same time). There's a bit of subtle eyelet work around the seams and hems. It's not quite clear whether the floral designs are embroidered or stenciled on, but they appear to cover the whole dress, based on what we can see of the skirt. The gloves, by contrast, extend down the wrist and have a polka-dot design on the frills.

The cloth band and floral decoration on her broad-brimmed straw hat pick up the colors of the dress, and her parasol appears to be a very pale pink.

The Evil Dead (1981)

Historically, successful horror films have relied more on the feelings they provoke and their originality than good performances or cutting-edge special effects. The Evil Dead is a perfect example of this in action. The rules of this supernatural story are at best loosely introduced, the special effects were made on the cheap and all of the actors have more than a few moments that aren’t convincing. While you're watching, none of that matters. This film has so much energy it sucks you right in and while it’s rough around the edges, the camera movement makes it look like a million bucks (rather than the $375,000 production it actually is). You watch it once and instantly become a member of the fan club.

University students Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell), his girlfriend Linda (Betsy Baker), his sister Cheryl (Ellen Sandweiss), their friend Scott (Hal Delrich) and his girlfriend Shelly (Sarah York) travel to an isolated cabin in the woods. In the cabin's cellar, they find a tape recording of the Sumerian Naturom Demonto. Once played, it summons demonic forces which mercilessly attack the group.

This is a horror comedy; a particular kind of horror-comedy that’s become a trademark of writer/director Sam Raimi. This is splatstick. Evil Dead pours on the gore. As the demonic forces attack Ash and his friends, they get caked in blood and guts. It’s so extreme you pass beyond the realm of revulsion. It feels wrong to find what's happening funny, until you start laughing.

You might be apprehensive about embracing the comedy at first because the film is actually frightening, or at the very least, disturbing. When Linda gets attacked, a sharpened pencil is jammed into her ankle, and then wiggled back-and-forth to make sure you understand how much it would hurt. When Cheryl goes to investigate strange noises in the woods, the results are the stuff of nightmares. Literally. It’s so surreal you’re not sure what you saw actually happened. "Could this movie really go that far? We were laughing ago, and we kind of feel like laughing now because… well, you just don’t see that kind of thing anywhere!"

The Evil Dead knows the rules of a horror movie. Most importantly, it knows when to break them and when not to. Between all the dripping and oozing, there are several false jump scares, and they work. Unexpectedly well because that initial tension is broken by something that turns out to be harmless. The release you want comes in a chuckle - exactly the reaction The Evil Dead was hoping for.

Now let's talk camera work. Long shots that move faster and faster as we get closer to the person in the frame fill you with a panic you wouldn’t expect from this scrappy little production. Even when you can see the seams, the idea propelling these visuals radiates through the screen and consumes you.

This movie is a lot like Night of the Living Dead, The Exorcist, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Three Stooges all blended together - while still alive - into a sticky red goo that’s wholly original. It’s so well directed, with such inventive camerawork and so effective at doing what it wants to do, you have to describe The Evil Dead as an imperfect masterpiece: a movie you probably couldn’t in all good consciousness give 5 stars to, but is a lot more fun and a lot more watchable than most 5 star movies you see. (Original version on Blu-ray, October 8, 2021)

All-Time Favorite Trailers: 'Blow Out'

I first remember watching the trailer for Brian De Palma’s “Blow Out” years ago before a double feature at New Beverly Cinema. While I don’t remember which double feature I was seeing that evening, I do remember the trailer itself and in becoming excited about checking out this underappreciated De Palma classic. Roger Ebert gave it four out of four stars and proclaimed it to be one of those…

One Dress a Day Challenge

September: Bond Films

For Your Eyes Only / Lynn-Holly Johnson as Bibi Dahl

The last of the five primary modes of Bond Girl chic is ski wear. For Your Eyes Only has possibly the most extended ski chase in the Bond film canon--certainly the one that incorporates the most other winter sports besides skiing--so it seems appropriate to draw from that movie. BIbi is committed to the "ski cowgirl" look, between the hat, the bandanna, and the western collar on her snowsuit. To be honest, this wouldn't have looked out of place as a US or Canadian team uniform in one of the Winter Olympics of the 1970s or 80s; it just needs more flags.

I don't know how many times I've seen this movie, but I blush to confess that I only just now figured out the pun in Bibi Dahl (Baby Doll)'s name.
