Today s patch-day flick was John Carpenter s Prince of Darkness. The movie was made in 1987, back when women wore baggy tops with rolled up sleeves, men had ugly moustaches, and Atheism was the new religion. A group of college students (not the young partying kind, but the older serious kind) are asked to monitor and research something in an old Catholic church.
They don t know what it is they are supposed to be researching, they are given no real information at all only that it is very important.
Now through the opening of the film and its lengthy opening credits, we are given glimpses of different things; the students in a class talking about different forms of reality and its basis on science and scenes of a priest (played by in the credits he is only called the Priest, but on IMDB they call him Father Loomis, this could be because Pleasence s performance was very much like the one he gave in the Halloween series) and him getting a key and conferences with nuns and writing a letter of urgency to the before mentioned professor. Most of the dialogue is lost to us unfortunately as the only thing we are allowed to hear is the music for the credits through most of it.
Oh and one of the students, Brian Marsh (played by my favorite Simon brother ) stalking a redheaded co-ed ( ). So in essence, we are as clueless to what is going on as the characters are.
Deep in the church is a big container of green ooze apparently containing the essence of God s son.
There is a little talk in this film that Jesus was actually alien and some discussion on the scientific level of theology; every particle has a mirror image of itself, the opposite of what it is. Where the Vatican has deduced that this essence was actually the positive and Godlike substance, what if we are looking at the reverse of that and all we thought was good wasn t?
Philosophically, this movie was very interesting for study.
It tried to make you question your own personal beliefs, which for a movie such as this, is an interesting twist. However, it really didn t hit the mark completely. The religious and scientific babble was not only slow paced and sleep-inducing, but it was never fully explained.
It came across like my tenth grade geometry teacher who expected us to already know the information on the first day since he had been teaching it so long. It left me with a whole feeling of Huh? So that means what?
And frankly I hate feeling like an idiot when I am watching a horror film.
Our demonic force, the big green bottle of ooze, also has telepathic powers controlling the lower life forms around it; mainly worms, ants, roaches, and the homeless (including a cameo by Alice Cooper, who actually got to kill someone by ramming half of a bike through them). The ooze also likes to spray itself in the mouth and eyes of random people creating zombie-like minions who then squirt a little of it from their mouth to others.
Tastes like chicken!
Where the movie was creative in thought and theory, the action, the suspense, and the oomph that one looks for in a Carpenter film just was not there. It was missing something, and left me feeling empty and sleepy.
Rockabilly Vampire need I say more? Oh I guess I probably should. This cute movie is about a woman named Iris ( ) who is a huge Elvis fan.
She is trying to publish a book on Elvis sightings and how Elvis is still alive. Working in a thrift store, late on the rent, and being hounded by a Beatle-wannabe ( ), the woman is just having some bad luck. She stumbles across Eddie ( ), who was trying to win an Elvis-look-alike contest when his brother Wrecks ( ) bit him.
Eddie has been wandering around for 40 years trying to stay ahead of his brother and his two goons.
Now, my one drawback to the film was the sound track was off so it made it a little hard to concentrate, but I am thinking it was just the copy I had. Casting was decent enough, though rather cartoonish.
Some of the acting was a little lax. This sort of film should have been over-acted instead of under-acted. Some of it ended up being a little awkward at times, but the general humor in it all helped ease that pang of needing a little more.
The filming, especially during the interludes, were fun and a nice homage to the Beatles and Elvis films. For an almost no budget film, special effects were alright; nothing too thrilling, but doable considering the movie in general.
The movie was very cute.
Rather cheesy but that is what movies like this is all about. A lot of colorful characters and funny writing made it entertaining enough. It was a hoot.
Bad puns and 50 s-speak, little musical interludes which were a throw back to the Elvis films, and even one boob shot. This movie made me chuckle. So if you want a little giggle bash daddy-o, check out this little morsel.
So, last night I couldn t sleep and I decided to pop in an Asian Extreme movie called Shutter. Now granted I had to read subtitles, but I have found that with these movies it isn t all that bad. I have always had a fondness for foreign films.
Maybe it is just my artsy phartsy side showing but I must say that the Asians have always been able to put a little chill in the air for me when it comes to a good ghost story.
Now with this film we find a story of a group buddies all sharing a drink together, as one of them (Tun ) is introducing his new girlfriend, Jane ( ). Unfortunately after having one few too many, the two love birds wind up running down a mysterious woman.
Tun panics and makes Jane leave the spot of the accident. They go back to their lives. Tun is a photographer and at another friend s college graduation, is taking photos.
When he gets the photos developed many of the images are blurred and a face appears in some of them.
Now this is a typical story line of a basic haunting. However, things started to get a bit confusing after that.
Now the hit and run thing, apparently no body is ever found. Considering the fact that early in the film it is announced that it is actually Tun s secret ex-girlfriend who happened to die a few years previous, the whole hit and run thing just made the movie confusing. Also, according to the back of the DVD it mentions his friends start getting killed off one by one.
Now this was sort of misleading, as we witness the death of only one friend and the friend s distraught wife tells Tun that his other two buddies also died the same way. No other mention came up and Tun had no idea. Later it explains why they were marked for death but it sort of gave us a detached feeling about it; ok these people died, so what.
We have no emotion for them as we have only seen them in the first five minutes of the film.
Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed in the film though there were little hints to the ending as we went along, which gave some wonderful imagery. The mating ritual of the praying mantis was focused on, so I knew it played an important part in the film.
The main point of the film was: Our past sins come back to haunt us. Our lesson learned: When your friend’s gang bang your secret girlfriend, don t take pictures. And next time my neck starts to hurt, well I am going to make sure all my ex-boyfriends are still alive and well.
Ok, I have had this movie in my stack for a while and kept looking at it thinking, “do I want to watch it today?” So finally giving in to my inner turmoil, I tossed in Perfect Creature. This 2006 New Zealand take on the vampire was a bit different than what I expected.
You see, before I throw in a movie I some times check IMDB.com for a little synopsis of what it is I am putting in. Usually what I read totally paints the wrong picture in my head, as was the case with this one.
What I read made me think that the setting was in the 60 s and 70 s this was not the case at all.
The movie is futuristic however apparently in the future we backtrack into the Victorian era. The Vampires were created by a virus caused by some crazy alchemists.
When born, they are taken from their mothers into a form of priesthood. On the side they dabble in biogenetics. Unfortunately the experiment goes wrong and one of The Brothers goes mad and turns into the vampire-type that we have read about in literature.
The head of The Brothers is helping the police track down and deal with the rogue vampire.
So . yeah .
the movie itself wasn t too bad. It felt very draggy and slow paced. Silus ( most recently as Ian in Desperate Housewives) gives off such a soft spoken aura as our good priestly vamp that I was starting to nod off during it.
Lilly ( ) our police escort, comes off so wishy washy through out the film, so bland that there were times I got her confused with another character in the movie! Our bad boy, Edgar ( ) just didn t come across very threatening.
The writing and directing by Glenn Standring was ok but a bit stiff.
The whole drab world came bursting through it, just a bit too drab and dull. It did have a bit of a comic book feel to it which I liked, but at the same time didn t draw enough on the fantastical insight that was poking through here and there. It had promise but just didn t follow through.
Ah, the late 70 s when cars drove fast, women wore fur, and the motto He who dies with the most toys wins first became apparent. My film for today was the 1976 film Death Weekend a.k.
a The House By The Lake, or as I like to think of it I Spit On Your Grave Lite.
Our story is about a dentist ( ) and a model ( ) who are going on a weekend visit to his cabin in the woods. They have just met only a day or so ago.
On the drive up to the cabin, she talks him into letting her drive his pretty little black Corvette. He finally says sure and as she takes the wheel and peals out onto the dirt road it draws the attention of some local thugs. Deciding it is race time, the chase pursues.
The four over aged, beer swilling, delinquents start to feel emasculated that they are being out run by a woman so they raise the stakes a bit and still have their balls handed to them as they end up getting run off the road and into a pond.
Our couple finally gets to the destination, a huge old rambling mansion, out in the middle of nowhere. Harry (the dentist) flaunts all of his prize possessions as Diane (the model) smiles and nods obviously really not all that impressed by it all.
Now let me stop here. One thing that I found very important, and keep in mind this is made during the turning point of women s lib, our model was not what one would expect. Where she was lovely, she wasn t fragile or your typical dumb blonde.
No, she was nothing that you would consider of our models of today. This I loved. She was a take charge type of woman.
She knew all about cars, she fixes the boat, and she stated right away that she wanted to get to know him before she would think of kissing let alone sleeping with him. A strong female role and it was pulled off wonderfully by this fine actress. Our dentist on the other hand, is only interested in the material value of things.
As our characterization unfolds we find he is a womanizer bringing a different woman up every weekend. He has a secret room adjacent to the room he fixes up for his guests with two way mirrors so he can observe and photograph his female companions without their knowledge.
During this time our four ruffians are on the look out for the car and the driver who have bruised their pride.
Finally they get the info they are looking for and head to the secluded cabin. They arrive, terrorize Harry and Diane, break everything, wreck the boat, attempt to rape Diane, and beat the hell out of Harry. The only time Harry gets upset however, is when they start smashing his possessions.
To this, the leader of the pack named Lep ( Don Stroud) makes a very interesting comment which I feel sums up the Baby-boomer generation fairly well. You don t care what happens to this fine lady. You don t even care what I do to you.
But we start to wreck all of this crap in this shitty house, well then you get upset?
Of course as the passions escalate so does the violence. Harry ends up dead and Diane is faced with what to do.
However we are not dealing with some screaming empty headed bimbo. We have a woman who uses her brains and her wits to defeat her foes. I was impressed with the style and the composure that Vaccaro brought to this character.
Here is a strong female role in a horror film that doesn’t come off as butch. She still holds her poise without becoming whiney. It was impressive how she did not portray this role as a victim, but as a heroin.
This to me was important. Also, I am so happy with the lack of falling down in the woods. In any horror film that contains a female and the woods, well every five steps they stumble and fall and whimper!
Not for Diane!
So bravo for writing and directing a psychological thriller that contained such an impressive female lead! Good work!
3 dentists out of 5 recommend!
As I sit down this morning with my morning tea, I decided to go British. Today s film I picked was Hammer s 1974 film Straight On Till Morning.
Now unlike most of my Hammer Films experiences, this one did not take place on some rambling gothic estate. No fiendish vampires or things that go bump in the night. Instead, this little gem takes a whole different approach to the genre that Hammer has forged throughout the era.
This movie was not really a horror film but more on the lines of a psychological thriller.
Our film takes place in the big city , in modern times well at the time the movie was made it was modern times. Our plot revolves around an innocent young woman who has a romanticized notion of love.
Brenda ( ) is a plain Jane who loves to create her own little faerie tales. She has decided that it is time to make these tales a reality so; she creates a story that she has become pregnant and informs her mother she is off to London to find a father for her child. Once in London, she is thrown into the harsh reality of the grown up world.
She finds that her plain looks and dreamy deer-in-the-headlights looks are not going to get her far but she still attempts to fit in.
During this part of the movie we are made increasingly uncomfortable by Brenda. Tushingham did a lovely job in creating a character that gave you that jittery feeling simply by watching her interact.
Her awkward approach to meeting people by invading their space, then staring at them with her saucer like eyes, and unblinkingly saying Hi with that too bright edge that makes you wonder if she is holding a pair of pinking shears behind her back. Her unending need to meld with the grown up world, yet simply not wanting to let go of her fantasy fairytale dreams leads her to the realization that this just isn t going to work. So attempting to clear her thoughts she takes a walk.
On her little journey she comes across a scruffy and ugly dog who she finds has the name of Tinker . She notices the poor pooch’s owner looking for him; a handsome man with blonde wavy hair. On a spur of the moment she kidnaps the dog and gives him a bath.
The following morning she returns the dog to the young man claiming she found Tinker and brought him home and gave him a bath. The man introduces himself as Peter ( ). Peter claims that he witnessed her stealing his dog and wanted to know what the point of doing it was.
Breaking down she explains she just wanted to meet him. Peter presses a bit further and Brenda explains how she wanted to know if he would be interested in fathering the child she wanted to have. Peter thinks on this a moment and makes a proposition.
If she comes to live there with him, clean up after him, do the cooking and mending, then he will see but he has one stipulation; she must allow him to call her Wendy.
Of course, she agrees to the terms and without letting anyone know where she is off to, she moves in with him.
Now our Peter is actually a serial killer and what he hates most of all is anything beautiful.
As they sit one night, Peter tells her a tale which she doesn t know was actually his life story. Now this is where I had a few questions. Early in the movie after the girl leaves home, the mother eludes to the fact that she had an older brother that also left unexpectedly and never returned.
Never was his name mentioned or anything about him. Now I know that on occasion little things like that are simply filler, but the way it was brought up. The mother stating it in a scene where nothing else was really mentioned made me wonder if Peter was indeed Brenda s long lost brother.
If so that adds even a bigger, albeit disturbing twist to the story. Peter mentions that he left home after his father died at the age of fourteen. He then met a string of beautiful (much much older) women (his idea of beauty… well it is all in the eye of the beholder I guess), but they only loved him for his beauty not for him.
They only wanted to show him off and this made him despise beauty, so he kills them all. Keep in mind that Brenda mistakenly made Tinker beautiful as well poor doggie. However, lucky for Brenda!
Where it didn t give us the gore, it did make you wonder what was going to happen. It gave you an interesting look at the J.M.
Barrie tales of Peter Pan. His refusal to take responsibility for his actions, blaming it on someone else, and always in search for a mother like figure to do everything for him that he didn t really want to do. One thing I found unfortunate throughout the film, which is also a problem I had with the movie A.
I., was the blatant push in your face hey-this-is-what-this-movie-is-about. Constant references to Peter Pan, the title of the film, even a statue of Pan himself in Peter s court yard.
It was a little much. A.I did the same thing with the Pinocchio theme, but even to more of an extreme.
I don t mind a bit of reference to the muse, but the constant reminders not only makes it looks like the audience is a flock of idiots it also makes it difficult for us to consider it a new and exciting concept.
I did enjoy the film, but it is a bit slow paced and some of it is slapped together which made it confusing. The ending of the film left you empty unfortunately with too many questions and no answers.
Typically my taste in movies is strictly horror or campy horror. Well, Drop Dead Sexy was campy sans the horror. Mind you I knew that this wasn t a horror film going into it but I still feel it deserves a mention here.
When looking at the cover art and reading the description, I wasn t too sure about what I was going to find. I was expecting something along the lines of Weekend at Bernie s to be honest. However, you never can judge a DVD by its cover.
The story revolves around two bumbling idiots. Frank ( ) who is a used car salesman and Eddie ( ) who is a subterranean architect (read gravedigger). Frank has higher goals in life and simply wants to get to Vegas as his older brother did before him.
He gets a delivery job from the shifty eyed Spider ( ) and when I say shifty eyed, I am serious. I thought I was going to have a seizure just from his rapid eye movement alone. Enlisting the aid and truck belonging to Eddie, they proceed upon their highway adventure.
Unfortunately Frank, who considers himself to be the luckiest man in the world, and Eddie stumble across a huge problem when the truck happens to explode. Realizing that Spider is probably going to kill them if they don t get him the money, they quickly go into hiding at Frank s alcoholic taxidermist mother s home. Now if that isn t enough, they decide to do a little grave digging and exhume the body of a young socialite who died under mysterious circumstances to retrieve a diamond necklace that Eddie saw she was buried with.
Again, luck was not a lady there either as they discover she no longer is wearing the necklace. So what do they do? What any normal person would; abscond with the body and hold it for ransom.
With the colorful characters, including a mortician ( ) who makes his patients more at ease with candle light, soft music and a bottle of wine, and some fun dialogue and a little bit of action this movie wasn t all that bad. Where I probably won t watch it again, it was a nice little comedy to enjoy.
My film I chose to watch today was Pumpkinhead Ashes to Ashes, which is the third in the franchise.
Unlike the second film , for this movie we must first go back to the original film, Pumpkinhead.
In the first film we have a single father ( ) and his son who own a small produce stand out in the country. A group of wild teenagers on motor bikes accidentally plow down the young boy causing his untimely death.
The father in his grief hears from one of the local bumpkin urchins, a young boy named Bunt, about an old hag in the woods who knows how to make things right . The old woman, properly named Haggis, conjures a spell bringing to life an abomination of a creature known only as Pumpkinhead. (This is due to the fact that the area in which he is buried in is covered with pumpkins, it has nothing to do with the creature s facial features which look more along the lines of the queen in Alien than anything from the squash family well, maybe a gourd, but Gourdhead doesn t seem to strike too much terror now does it?
) One by one the young people die as well as some innocent bystanders. When the father realizes that vengeance was probably not the answer to his problem, he knows it is too late and finds the only way to stop it. As it was conjured by his own blood, the only way is to kill him self.
This destroys the beast but, what the old woman didn t explain is that once the beast is destroyed it needs a new donor , meaning the father s corpse takes its place in ye ole pumpkin patch.
Now in the third move of this franchise we come across an old town crematorium where the doctor has enlisted the help of some of the less fortunate in the area to help with his dirty work, one of them being a now grown Bunt who is now being haunted by the spirit of the father from the first movie, who is still played by Lance Henriksen. When a person has passed on, instead of actually cremating them, they had started harvesting the organs and skin and what have you, giving the mourning families wood ash in lieu of the actual remains of the dearly departed, then dumping the leftovers in the swamp.
Unfortunately a hiker comes across what is going on and after the remove a couple of vital organs, they leave him for dead. But, he still has enough life in him to make it to a road and flag down a car. Before he finally stops ticking he informs a woman of the happenings he has come across and so a search ensues and they find many bodies, including the body of the woman s eight year old daughter and, after going too deep in the swamp they stumble across a pumpkin patch with an unidentified and deformed body.
From out of a wooded area in comes our lady of the woods, Haggis, looking even more lovely than usual announcing that the deformed body is her property and she promptly carts it off with no argument from anyone.
There are a few whispers and the mourning mother realizes that this is the woman to ask for help. She and three friends go off to the woods to request a boon.
The old woman gives them every chance to change their minds but they say they know what they want. So she takes the blood donation from each and wakes up the Great Pumpkin.
Now, as we understand, we have the return of some characters from the first one however, Bunt is now on the other side of the fence.
He has been marked. The thing is, he knows the secret to the end of Pumpkinhead. So our villains know the secret is to kill the person who called the creature.
The only thing standing in the way is knowing who did it.
This movie was great for the continuing storyline on the Pumpkinhead franchise. It stuck to the plot, kept it in the same area, and enlisted previous characters and the original tale; to me this is important to the mythology of a tale such as this.
Casting was very well done with the Bunt character. Originally the part was played by ; in this one, the grown up version is played by . They both have similar facial features, especially the large eyes.
returned to play the part of Haggis, and the aforementioned Henriksen returning in his role of Ed Harley.
The deaths were creative and very well crafted so kudos to the special effects and make up.
My main problem with the film, and you will find me critical of this in many films (Don t even get me started on Far and Away), is the accent issue.
The film takes place down in the southern region of the U.S. Unfortunately most of the actors must have learned from the same coach Jessica Simpson used for The Dukes of Hazzard.
It made me want to cut my ears off. In most cases I was glad to see people get killed, just so I wouldn t have to suffer through the butchery!
Today s morning monster fix was Deathbed.
It includes some of my favorite themes. Murder, unsolved mysteries, and well… sex. The film is based around a bed, a beautiful wrought iron number.
As we open our film we are sent back to the late 20 s early 30 s where we see a lovely flapper in black silk and lace tied to the bed frame. As an eerie tune plays on the old Victrola, her lover proceeds to enjoy his task of playful torture which escalates into him strangling her there on the bed.
We are then forcefully thrust into 2002 where a young couple is getting ready to move into a lovely loft apartment that was converted from an old warehouse.
The funny, yet bumbling land lord, played by Martin Sheen s younger brother Joe Estevez gives a tiny bit of back story on how it was rumored that it used to be a bootlegger s hideout, shows them the loft. The boyfriend ( Brave Matthews) notices a set of steps that leads up to a door. Where does that lead?
to which he receives the reply Nowhere, I never got a key to that door. Now if you ask me, that is bad renovation duty right there. If I owned a building, I would want to make sure I knew what was behind all the doors because you never know where the previous tenants left the bodies!
As our story progresses we see a little more into our female heroin s life. She apparently has a bit of a problem in the sexual department only preferring one position despite her boyfriend s suggestion of switching around a little. We catch images in her mind of a small wrist in a handcuff and then images she is seeing of the murder that we saw previously sometimes confusing the two and merging the images together.
Later she divulges information of a far too friendly uncle and his late night visits when she was a child.
After a night of bad dreams, the young woman starts hearing strange noises from behind the closed door. A quick call to the landlord and he arrives with crowbar in hand.
They find the room we saw at the beginning of the film, the bed, the Victrola and a full length mirror. The bed is brought down to the main loft area and cleaned up. Our young mistress starts to come out of her shell, and her clothes, with much more vigor.
We can only guess it is from the curse on the bed, but it was such a quick change that it made it more confusing. I feel if it were a gradual thing, it may have been much more effective.
Throughout the movie we find a small unsolved mystery.
Who was this woman? Who was the assailant and what exactly happened? Unfortunately they didn t delve enough into these topics.
What we are forced to wallow through is watching the same things over and over; honestly, it became rather redundant. Oh she gets on top, and now out comes the neck tie . yeah yeah yeah, same song and dance.
It would have been handy to keep a score card on who was being possessed by which ghost and why the man s spirit was still attached to the place, even though he didn t necessarily die there. Had there been some explanation such as The negative energy manifested from the events that happened and trapped his essence there. (Which I remember my tour guide from a ghost tour I took in New Orleans telling us) then I would have been satisfied why he was still present in the space.
Unfortunately not everyone is lucky enough to go on Uncle Scott s tour to understand that this type of manifestation works this way.
I felt that the movie in itself was alright; a nice idea. However there needed to be more story to it.
The sex alone doesn t quiet work. I understood where they were trying to lightly discuss the topic of fetishes and deviant sexual behavior and its effects, but it didn t quite reach that point of realization. Pieces were too mundane and not enough action, then too much action and not enough plot.
Also the ending, I must say I really really enjoyed even though there was such little explanation for it.
Too much though, was left unanswered, and made me feel very let down. However the costumes were really nice.
Makes me want to go out and buy some blue satin sheets!
Killers Moon, a 1978 romp in the English country side, is a story of four mental patients who have escaped from a Country Cottage Hospital . The four men had been undergoing a form of dream therapy and they themselves thought they were all still in a dream.
Going by the instructions of their doctor who had told them to act upon the worst things you imagine in your dream, and when you wake up you will be all better , the men romp through the woods attacking and raping everything in site.
Deep in the heart of the woods is a large hotel which is closed for the season. At the same time a bus full of singing school girls, a head mistress, and a homely house mother have a broken down and also wonder upon the home.
Also in the woods are two young men camping, one who looks a lot like your favorite Weasley and mine, Rupert Grint.
The story in itself was a very interesting thought. The plot made a lot of sense.
This is one movie I would love to see redone and that is saying a lot as I am usually very against remakes, but this is one that deserves a second shot. The imagery in the film was lovely. The barren trees against the shocking white virginal attire of the young girls starched night gowns, and the contrast of the sterile white uniforms of the inmates was almost hypnotizing .
unfortunately the performances were almost laughable. You have two frightened young women running through the woods to get help, and a young man showing them the way. One of the inmates is after them!
Do we have a sense of doom? Well with the cheery smile and a wave of the hand they wish each other good luck it sort of ruined it for me. But hey, the English do come off as a dreadfully cherry lot even in the most morbid of times (And those of my English friends who are reading this know exactly what I am talking about), however this was a bit much; even for my standards.
There was little fear in the young girls throughout the entirety of the film. The screams of terror that we did hear seemed to come off late. The tears seemed forced.
The saving grace of the movie has to be, in my opinion, the interaction between the four patients. Almost an English version of the 3 Stooges in a way; I found them most entertaining. They kept talking about this dream they were all in.
Trying to figure out whose dream it actually was and how each of these people they happened to kill was a figment of their imagination. Oh, I believe I just transgressed the radiologist! However I feel they could have gone more extreme with their characterizations.
At one point in the film a police official, the psychiatrist, and the Government Minister (who claims he likes to murder rape and pillage in his dreams hell who doesn’t!) are discussing the psychosis of the four. One is a rapist who escalated up to mass murder or well he killed three people previously.
One is a rapist also, who enjoys men instead of women. One thinks he is a priest and feels everyone is the devil and should be obliterated. And a profile on the fourth was never divulged.
Which one was which? I gathered Mr. Smith was the one after the young women; however Mr.
Muldoon also did his share of the rape-age as well; Mr. Jones also admitted to liking the girls as well as the flesh tones of his dreams. None of them acted in a priestly manner either or even spoke of the devil.
So, unfortunately the whole discussion on what their psychoses were was a total waste of film space. I feel these things really should have been drawn upon more.
Also, I think more energy should have been spent on the three legged dog.
A lovely little pincher who helps save the day and all he gets is a dry eyed thank you when they find him later.
Someone needs to dust off this script, tweak it some, and recast and film! I hear Rupert Grint will be free in a few more years!
