Malatesta's Carnival of Blood

PRESS

Official Selection & Winner, Eerie Horror Film Festival
Grandma Gladys Award, "Best Vintage or Unearthed Film" [press release]

RAISED FROM THE GRAVE "... (the film) progresses with the disorienting leaps and recurrences of a nightmare. With the run of a dilapidated amusement park and sets cobbled together from found materials, Speeth obviously opted for visual audacity over linear storytelling. Many of those involved now deem the film "hokey," but modern viewers would be more inclined towards words like "psychedelic" or "trippy." Where too many low-budget horrors get weighed down by endless exposition, Malatesta is almost wholly unconcerned with logic, and ends with an endearing shot that embodies the playfulness of its production. " -- Shaun Brady, Philadelphia Citypaper (Cover Story), June 2008

"Beautifully photographed, imaginatively designed, far-out in conception and successfully bonkers at least half the time, Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood is unlike anything you have ever seen before... Christopher Speeth should be proud to have made such an unconventional, defiantly stylish and dreamlike film , in a country where the horror genre often falls into predictable pigeonholes." --
--Stephen Thrower, Nightmare, USA: The Untold Story of the Exploitation Independents

“A little evil fairy tale.”
--Philadelphia Magazine

“Decidedly high protein, low carb. If your date is a vegetarian, you may want to skip this film.”
--The Observer
