It wasn't super scary, but the tension that it built using the atmosphere and superb directing was great. The performances were excellent all the way around, and I loved the design of The Babadook itself.<br /><br />(I know how late I am but my last final was today and I am hoping to catch up before the end)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764571200341102538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-65795332507658240092015-06-09T14:26:31.366-05:002015-06-09T14:26:31.366-05:00Ravenous (1999): really great movie, with a fun tw...Ravenous (1999): really great movie, with a fun twist on cannibalism/vampirism.

This time around, it seemed like the fusion of a lost Stephen King novel (ensemble of characters, seaside town) and Italian horror (<i>Inferno</i> in particular, released the same year). Enjoyed the sophistication of the scene transitions in the first half which are mostly structured around the radio broadcasts. Also, it’s incredible that Radio KAB is so popular in Antonio Bay, given that it mainly seems to play plinky piano music and public domain ragtime. <br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269080742899639354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-54574084503808355202015-06-07T00:01:10.316-05:002015-06-07T00:01:10.316-05:00The Fog (1980)

Most people consider it a minor work of Carpenter's, and I never saw the film's flaws until tonight.<br /><br />* SPOILERS *<br /><br />I'm not sure the movie needed so many "rules" - except that a bunch of leper ghosts are back and pissed off. Having the protagonists survive the night instead of solving a mystery might have worked better. The ghosts' eye-for-an-eye mission statement - revealed way too early in the film - hurts the suspense quite a bit. You know every main character is probably going to be OK... and putting their house on the market the next morning.<br /><br />I still love this movie - especially its long opening credits sequence where things go bump in the night. The first reel is one of the highlights of Carpenter's career. I can see The Fog's flaws now, but that won't stop me from revisiting it over and over again.<br />Jeremy Wicketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614746246278329837noreply@blogger.com
