Filmed long before his current fame as a horror novelist and filmmaker, Salome/The Forbidden re-releases two experimental films Clive Barker directed in the 1970s. While they're a departure from more familiar fare such as Hellraiser and Lord of Illusions, these films show that Barker's unique narrative sense and startling visual style were already firmly in place.

Just not for me.

A terrible negative-image effect ruins the whole thing. The final 30 seconds are remarkable but that doesn't make up for everything else. May be of interest to people interested in homoeroticism, though Kenneth Anger's SCORPIO RISING is much better in that regard. I enjoyed Barker's first short film but this is bad.

Actually quite frightening, although it's still nothing more than a curiosity for Clive Barker's fans.
