A master stroke that, in one jaw-dropping instant, recontextualizes everything that came before it, casting an instant haze of sickening confusion and creeping menace. Here's a little blurb I wrote for it quite some time ago if you're looking for additional backup on this movie: http://enjoythemonologue.wordpress.c...rier-scariest/ |
Nice writeup, and beyond that, great blog. I dig your writing style. I don't suppose you plan to start updating it again? I'd definitely RSS that shiz. Love the post about the movie posters.
