There is a touch of Buñuel's The Exterminating Angel

from "Knife in The Water" I remember a baby crying and his mother ignoring him
from "Repulsion" I remember a lot of things... a piece of meat decomposing in Catherine Deneuve's bag, walls cracking, hands appearing from the wall, Catherine Deneuve being kissed with a strange look in her open eyes...
from Buñuel's "The exterminating Angel" I remember the plot... people who couldn't get out of a house and they don't know why while apparently there's nothing stopping them from going out. If my memory serves me well some of them even die.

Thanks Eddie... I'll see Carnage

Edit: I just realized my "Thanks Eddie... I'll see Carnage" sounds strange at the end of this post... I think I'll add an alien

I once read that Polanski recorded Repulsion in order to make money to record The Fearless Vampire Killers. Strange... I think the latter has a more commercial appeal (although I understand you need more money to record it).

I like both. But I think I prefer The Fearless Vampire Killers too

Here's Polanski scared of the gay vampire:


Polanski was cute in a funny way

... not as cute as Sharon Tate though
she's especially cute in the movie, red haired
