You must rent The Crazies and Two Evil Eyes right away. The Crazies is still one of his best but as far as Two Evil Eyes go...it's all about Argento on that one. Awesome story.

Had to abort an attempted viewing of Martin some years ago, because it seemed shit - I'm sure I was wrong, so will have to give it another go.
Bruiser was a plain misfire - very odd.

What was there not to like? Downbeat and powerful, one of my all-time favourite endings.

Welll it was better than pet sematary's at least, and Mortuary
The_Return
04-02-2006, 03:12 PM
Havent seen either, but the book version of Pet Semetary had a pretty good ending as I recall. Cant remember exactly how it ended, but it left a good impression on me if nothing else.

I love the ending too. I think most people do.
I watched "there's always vanilla" last night - got it on a double-sided DVD with "Season of the Witch" aka "Jack's Wife". I thought it wasn't half bad - no horror, sort of hippie nonsense, but for a piece from the early 70s, it wasn't a badly made film. (Indeed, in my opinion as a piece of filmmaking, its better than the Crazies - though I enjoyed the Crazies more).

Martin is about a guy who may or may not be a vampire. The film also works as a statement on drug addiction. In my opinion, it is the best of Romero's films.

The telekinetic powers movie sounds like "Psychic Killer"--1975

the guys got like really blonde hair in a 80's boff fashion if ya know what i mean. in the hospital, he makes his 'drips' fall over with his 'powers'. part from that and what ive already said, i cant remember much more. im sure ive got it, but i copied it and it'd take me ages searchin' through my older tapes. they'll be collecting dust somewhere dark and forbidding..
