New review: The Ballad Of Tam Lin

What the folk? Here’s a strange addition to the site… Roddy McDowall monkeying around with an old Scots tale of vengeful fairy queens. And get a look at that poster! This looks like the most exciting film of 1970! Voodoo masks, exploding cars, a man with a snake for a penis, half-dressed belly dancers, and all sorts of poorly illustrated fighting shenanigans! Well, let me start by saying that whoever was responsible for this poster was either off their nut or (more likely) hadn’t actually watched the film, because of reptilian cocks there is nary a sign. Or exploding cars, half-dressed women or much in the way of scrapping. Yes, the mask does appear.

But is the film any good, despite these shortcomings? Weeeeeeeelll… read the review. That’s why I write ‘em.
