It's like, slow, drama, build up, build up... OH MY GOD THE BASTARD CHILD OF DAVID LYNCH AND TOBE HOOPER ATE A BUNCH OF BROWN ACID AND TOOK OVER THE LAST HALF HOUR OF THE FILM! That's how I see it, anyway. Might just be me. But I LOVE this movie. 262117@blogcritics.org Thu, 27 Oct 2005 13:39:36 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/26/220311.php#comment-261999 Man... The tongue on the floor... The bag that rolls over and what comes out of it... The little whispering 'tetetetetetet' noise she makes while wiggling the needles in... They way they suggest in the (otherwise kind of distacting) dream sequence that the abused who become the abuser aren't seeking justice or even power, they just kind of got off on the abuse and the evil of it and passively accepted abuse and passively follow the worn track to abuser... All amazing stuff. Here's my cynical guesses at how Hollywood will screw this moview up when they do their own version: 1) Someone will see the great satirical jab they could take at Reality TV with the audition process, but... he'll end up meeting her on the Internet because someone else will see more metamarketing potential if they meet on the Internet. 2) The ideal American woman just can't be that docile, which means the woman in the American version will just be seeking revenge/justice, which will remove the whole creepy servile/sadastic element. 3) They'll see this story has potential to go beyond the traditional horror audience with the scary relationship elements, so they'll flash some real gore on screen, but they won't do anything to drive it home. 261999@blogcritics.org Thu, 27 Oct 2005 10:05:44 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/26/220311.php#comment-261848 I guess so, as long as you aren't dating a cute little asian girl with a high propensity for chopping your head off and sticking needles under your eyes. 261848@blogcritics.org Wed, 26 Oct 2005 23:46:18 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/26/220311.php#comment-261807 The use of sound in this film is amazing -- especially near the end. Might make a good date movie, too. ;) 261807@blogcritics.org Wed, 26 Oct 2005 22:27:06 EDT
