The Horror of Orlof (2013)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
In one of his final interviews, director Jess Franco talks about the making of THE AWFUL DR. ORLOF. Franco starts off talking about how he got involved with the producers and how originally they were going to make The Hanging Man. From here we learn how this film ended up getting made and the director even talks about people thinking he ripped the story from EYES WITHOUT A FACE (a claim he denies). Fans of Franco know that he always gives wonderful interviews no matter what the subject is and that certainly holds true here. Franco is very energetic when he discusses his hatred of Spanish censorship and how they caused him to make this movie and make it darker than some would have expected. He also talks about his career up to this point and why it was never his plan to become a horror director. Fans of Franco will certainly want to watch this one.
