A quick swing by Germany for us this time to take a quick peek at the trippy horror fantasy “The Forbidden Girl”, just newly released to Region 2 DVD. Weirdly enough… for a German made movie with an all German cast never released theatrically anywhere outside of the country… it’s originally done completely in English language!! Yep… shades of “Modus Anomali”, eh? Well… whatever the reason behind it… that’s definitely a “win-win” in this wee kitten’s book. 😉
The synopsis goes along these lines: “The Forbidden Girl” tells the story of Toby McClift, the teenage son of a fanatical pastor who becomes addicted to an irresistible witch… the spitting image of his first love, stolen away from him during an eerie encounter years before that drove him mad and caused his confinement to a lunatic asylum. Madness or magic? Which explanation is the real truth for Toby and if he gives in to her temptation, will he be forever doomed to eternal life on the Dark Side? Dare he risk it all… for the eternal love of the Forbidden Girl?”
Oooohhh!! Now we’re talking. A nifty lil’ foreign horror story with witches, and demons and romance for me…. and all done up in easily accessable English language for my sweetie. What more could this wee Catgirl want for a cool autumn “Movie Night” on the couch? Well OK… maybe some nibbly lil’ treats to distract Ting-Ting, but I can’t really think of too much more that might make it all perfect. 😉
So… don’t just sit there… by all means “Read On” and find out how it went down, o’ Gentle Visitor!! 🙂
