"Except that the movie is genuinely horrifying, a perverse Cajun gumbo of bayous, eros, incest, suspense, and hideous violence."
From that bit it sounds like it might appeal to someone who liked "Angel Heart" and "Wild Things" enough to re-watch them every couple years. (I do, and I'm sorry, but it won't stop.) I'll put it on my list.
I don't think my wife will get that far into this movie. Once that Bowie soundtrack starts pumping against the reused original Star Trek set, I think I will be on my own.
Feel obligated to point out that the YouTube video is NOT the beginning of the film. It's a sort of Italian trailer. The movie is a lot more low key...
Does Cat People come before Knowing, Suspect Zero and Rise on the required viewing list?
ReplyDeleteAnd is this Clockwork Orange McDowell or Star Trek: Generations McDowell?
CO.

ReplyDeleteTOS? Generous. I was thinking more Beastmaster.

ReplyDeleteI feel like it's Christmas Eve.
