#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 19: Going through automatic doors on #NationalAutomaticDoorDay

Joseph #Losey's The Damned (1962) starts out as your conventional, lurid, early counterculture affair.

An American tourist visiting #Dorset is tricked by a prostitute, then falls victim to a youth gang controlled by King, a still very green Oliver Reed at his meanest. The trickster is King's sister, who confides in the American hoping to escape her brother's incestuous avances. They elope to a nearby island, closely followed by King and his gang, where they find a group of #children, all contently living in an underground lab, with #AutomaticDoors only they can control. These are the damned.
