Movie Review | Litan (Mocky, 1982)

What if a Jean Rollin movie played like you hit the fast forward button on your remote, the frantic pace occasionally interrupted by some abrupt, borderline comical kills?

And instead of Brigitte Lahaie in a see through robe, our protagonists were a fully clothed middle aged couple who bring some semblance of normal human behaviour?

And instead of the Castel sisters, the rustic French town in which this was set was populated with a bunch of oddballs in even odder looking masks, including some which look like a French knockoff of the Blue Man Group, because it was Litan Day, you know, the totally real holiday that wasn’t just made up for this movie?

And there was enough fog to earn you a few stamps on your Foggy Movie Card and bring you just a little closer to that fabled submarine sandwich?

While this is narratively busier than I’m used to with my dreamscapes, I had fun riding this movie’s weirdo wavelength, but if I got hit with a pop quiz on the plot afterwards, I’d be guaranteed to flunk it.

tubi remains the best streaming service because it has things like the 1982 french freakout horror movie Litan which is sort of an endless nightmarish chase movie that is also maybe a zombie movie or a possession movie or a folk horror thing or… it's hard to say. nobody's having a good time. a cop impales himself on a wall of prop swords. a middle aged doctor snarls at his dead wife's equally dead lover who is currently possessing a teen boy. everyone's wearing horrible masks. the water dissolves anybody who falls in it. the whole thing ends with a congregation of the dead praying not to die again. it's like if wicker man and gymkata had an upsetting baby raised by in the mouth of madness, but less scrutable than i'm making it sound. highly recommended

Chris: Litan is a French folk horror film about a couple in France at a strange town having a festival and things get odd, stranger, and dangerous, a visually strange film but needed a stronger plot, Watch: When Free.

Richie: I didn’t like it, it was all over the place, it was a little bit too weird for me, Avoid.
