Day 27Reflections on: The Mafu Cage (1978)Wow, what a bummer. I had always wanted to see this. I liked Carol Kane in everything I’d seen her in until now, but even she couldn’t save this one.Animal torture, extreme cultural appropriation, and incest are a few of the main themes. If those are up your alley then maybe this movie is for you! One of the main characters is an astronomer who works at the Griffith Observatory. This was the most interesting part of the story but it truly has no bearing on anything else. We never really get to see the work she does and the only thing of note that happens at the observatory is an awkward seduction scene at the top of some stairs. It looked uncomfortable and seemed like a waste of science resources. The clothes, jewelry, and decor were all quite stunning. Sadly it was all soured by a white lady imitating people from other cultures.This is yet another psychological horror film, like Magic (1978) in which characters’ conditions escalate to extremes that could have been prevented with proper mental health help. They don’t exactly work as horror movies, they just come off as extremely sad.One of the characters is named Zom. That was good.Why does this exist? -- source link
