...until the last, sad sigh when her feet relax and shoes pop off, and the audience laughs blissfully as her body crumples on top of them. Then there's the conscientious, independent nurse who gets a needle gently inserted into her eye. I'm tired of chicken-shit directors discreetly cutting away from stuff like this: but Rick Rosenthal, directing his first film (from John Carpenter's script) cuts to a close-up of the needle sliding through the jelly all the way to the back of the skull.

...found. It's about a French town that opens the doors of its insane asylum just before the Nazis arrive. Cheaper than the MX and more effective. This is one of those cult movies that people go to see 37 times before they scream "I'm sick of this shit" and run out of the theater.
