Not only wasn't Michael Mohan's Immaculate (2024) the only film to feature a pregnant nun this year, but it also wasn't alone in recycling Bruno Nicolai's score from The Red Queen Kill's Seven Times (1972), either. Netflix's It's What's Inside (2024) is the latest film to reuse three tracks from the classic giallo soundtrack; including the most recognisable of the lot, Servizio Fotografico.
Regarding It's What's Inside, it's essentially Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) with body swapping. Did I hate it like that insufferable turd? Well, no. It's somewhat bearable, surprisingly. However, it's still plagued with some horrible character writing. Having to endure late twentysomethings talk and behave so idiotically and selfishly, it's a total surprise they even made it into adulthood. Only in the movies, right?
Note to other Hollywood film makers: if you're gonna reuse Bruno Nicolai's The Red Queen Kills Seven Times score, can it be Terzo Delitto, my fave deep cut off the soundtrack? It's the theme that plays when Leonora (Dolores Calò) gets locked in a van after turning snitch during a photoshoot. Watching her being whisked away from the hustle and bustle of Würzburg City and then to be murdered in the countryside is a scene that I find comical, but more and more disturbing whenever I rewatch it. Largely because no one in that whole city hears her cries for help whist she's being abducted before her slaying.

Italians eh? They even do bitch-fights different to everybody else.
Unrelated: I thought Nosferatu 3.0 was out this month and now I'm pissed off because I just saw it isn't released here until January.
Managed to watch Conclave over the weekend. Undoubtedly the bitchiest film of the year. It's like Mean Girls, but with Catholic cardinals.
Yeah, I'm gutted over Nosferatu, too. Yanks get it on Christmas Day, whilst our release is New Year's Day.
You seen the new 28 Years Later trailer?
I have. Kinda cysed for it.
Is Conclave good then? Couple of folks at the last movie club meeting really liked that.
Predictable ending, but still rather enjoyable. Fiennes is always worth watching. Much preferred the director’s previous film, All Quiet on the Western Front, however.
I'm an All's Quiet on the Eastern Front guy, meself 😎
Coincidentally, the director of It's What's Inside directed Joey Ramone's New York City.
And totally unrelated, but still rather cool, is the video to Faith No More's Separation Anxiety is all clips from one of my fave movie finds this year - Dementia.
The coincidence pipeline is working overtime
Always does around here.
