So, Rendezvous is this intriguing mashup from '73 that pulls together scenes from a bunch of horror flicks and sets them to the smooth, haunting strains of Sinatra's Strangers in the Night. It's got this strangely captivating rhythm, where the pacing varies dramatically between the chilling visuals and the almost romantic vibe of the music. The way it juxtaposes these horror moments against such an iconic track creates a unique atmosphere that sticks with you. The practical effects showcased in the clips remind you of a bygone era of genre filmmaking, and while we don’t have a big-name director behind it, the selection of clips feels almost like a commentary on horror tropes of the time. It's an oddball piece, for sure, but definitely one worth considering if you're into experimental cinema.
Rendezvous has had a bit of a niche following among collectors, mainly due to its unusual format and the scarcity of physical releases. Initially released on VHS, it's not the easiest title to find in decent condition nowadays. Interest seems to peak among those who appreciate the experimental side of cinema and enjoy the fascinating blend of music and visuals from the era.
