Tarantella

[MerryWanna]

Her dance reminded me of my bisexuality.  Weird, spastic and not done by a girl who looks thirteen. 

I actually liked this movie, even though it's admittedly bad and way overpadded - it's just so different from the usual tenor of 1952 monster flicks despite the fact so many of the same old tropes were part of it.  I'm finding it difficult to pin down.

Another example I can give besides Tarantella's hotness status is that the dude playing the insane gun wielding hostage taking scientist really did seem schizophrenic.  Either great acting or it wasn't acting.  But it worked.

And I'll go out on a limb here and admit I actually kind of liked the music! Certainly repetitive, but I always love it when a musical form is twisted beyond itself.  I've never heard creepy flamenco.  So it's a win.

Sidenote: "Tarantella" is actually the name of a dance thought to be caused by the bites of spiders.  The actual cause was probably ergotism or some other unintentional intoxication.  I'm sure good old WP has more info.  But Dr. Aranya named her well.
