balok's talking about the b&w Corman version

Well, yeah, I specified the script 'cause the movie's kind of a mess (I'm thinking of one scene in particular, set at a funeral, where the actors are in a black comedy and the music is scoring an oscar-bait tearjerker), but it's worth checking out. It'd make a good "flawed but thoughtful feminist horror" double-bill…

It's like all Fessenden's stuff—masterfully creepy (seriously, the dude knows horror "tone" like nobody since Carpenter in his heyday) until he throws in something stupid that ruins it. The running bipedal deer in Wendigo (and the skeleton thing, but all was lost by that point anyway), the ghost-meese in Last Winter,…

People forget, he wasn't "Bruce Campbell" until ED2. The original's a straight-up dread delivery device and he's just one more vapid twentysomething to be dispensed with. I'm not getting my hopes up for this but at least they're not remaking the one with an irreplaceable lead in a starmaking performance.

Goes like this: 1's good (if overhyped), 2 sucks, 3's awesome, and 4's bad but I don't agree with everyone that it's worse than 2.

Hey man, just in case you come back, yeah, I'd call Elm and Scream stone-cold classics, plus I gotta go to bat for New Nightmare—clunky in parts, but so ambitious; it deserves an awful lot of the credit Scream gets for taking horror meta.

Same as how they rigged the camera in PA3: fan service.

Quarantine's okay, but I saw it first, so it wasn't suffering by comparison right in front of my eyes. Coupla decent added touches but all the scares are Xeroxed from REC.
