Films like The Reincarnation of Isabel.

The Reincarnation of Isabel (1973) reads as Heavy, steady, measured gothic / satanic, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
