The Farm - 6/10
Yay... Another movie where a baby is murdered almost instantly after the mother delivers it. Is this a sick ass fetish thing or something? The ending was kind of cool but otherwise the story made no sense as to why what was happening was happening. I mean you understand what's happening but on the full spectrum you don't know why they are doing it which makes it quite confusing and hard to get into other than the gore factor. I also find it pretty far-fetched that such a community could exist under the radar the way it does. I only give this a cigs because of the gore and the creativity behind the last shot. |

I enjoyed Ninth Gate too. It does look really good and has effective atmosphere, and like I said, I thought the first half was really good. Unfortunately, I had to take a phonecall a little past the middle, had to watch the rest the next evening. I went back a ways to keep the continuity, but what ya gonna do? Anyway, after I wrote my review I read some others, and I'm not alone in my impressions. |

I do think halfway in when the atmosphere gets a bit brighter might hurt the movie a bit. Horror movies are always better at night. I'm talking specifically about those Paris scenes. But that's only a small part of the movie. |

I think it's cool for a 2h15m film to change moods, settings, lighting and all... hard to stay dark for 2hrs+. But you probably have a point there. I think he went to Italy and then Paris, and there's daylight scenes. Overall things seemed to brighten and the threat level kept decreasing, things seemed more tongue-in-cheek spurred by the blonde young lady and Depp. I'm not sure if that was the tone Polanski was going for, but I don't think it ever switched away from that comical tone after that. Cary Grant and the femme fatale can comically banter in some Hitchcock films, but usually it's just a humorous respite, not a tone setter for the rest of the film. |

Thing that sucks about it is...hes not even a bad actor, or that he can't play "sinister guy"...as a matter of fact I'd say he's average to pretty good depending on what you see him in.
He SLAYED Rorschach. Great in the short lived human target. Not bad in Preacher. Just...horribly miscast as Freddy...
