My Take
Camille Keaton fascinates me because she defies easy placement. A relative of Buster Keaton who launched her career in Italian giallo and horror rather than Hollywood, she is best known for one of the most divisive films ever made. I do not pretend that work is comfortable viewing, but the courage it took, and the Sitges Best Actress award it earned her, are undeniable. An Arkansas woman who threw herself into European exploitation cinema took a real artistic gamble. Whatever you think of the films, she left a mark that audiences simply cannot forget, and that counts for something.
