So many horror movies don't really do much with music you haven't come to expect, and yet the musical moments in this film worked and seemed fresh.<br />Ummmm ... QUESTION: How old were these people supposed to be?<br />I liked the acting each person was in their character. Some may think the acting was bad, but I actually think this is what the characters were supposed to be. (It's either that, or the director didn't really know how to direct the actors? MY FAVORITE PART ACTING WISE was this one actress (forget her character or real name) who keeps fiddling with stuff! The best part being when she is at a piano, and and every time another actress gave these heavy exposition lines, this one would hit the low key of the piano! In a way, it was kind of a commentary on (DING! EXPOSITION TIME, has to be done, folks!) lol Maybe I am the only one who finds this funny?<br />I liked the little moments, the beginning and ending montage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316664491601489621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-12214236575830669452009-01-12T14:56:00.000-08:002009-01-12T14:56:00.000-08:00Hahaha no prob...

My MBV3D review sounds mainly like a slam because it was easier to discuss the problems than the highlights.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-58896129085512997792009-01-12T13:26:00.000-08:002009-01-12T13:26:00.000-08:00Came back to apologize for my previous comment, wh...Came back to apologize for my previous comment, which was largely negative even though I actually enjoyed your review overall - it was funny and on target, but for some reason I focused on areas of disagreement even though mostly I agree with your assesment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-13560264429006973192009-01-12T11:46:00.000-08:002009-01-12T11:46:00.000-08:00Glad you liked the film. You're right: After Dark ...Glad you liked the film. You're right: After Dark should be releasing more like this.<BR/><BR/>I disagree about Harshman, who is the worst thing in the film. Her performance is one-note, and her character adds nothing - she is the one who should have been removed from the story. <BR/><BR/>Also, I thought the ending was botched. As a concept it is interesting, but the execution doesn't have the impact it should.<BR/><BR/>Finally, the idea of a supernatural curse causing the population of an isoalted town to kill itself off was previously used in Mario Bava's KILL BABY KILL. Don't know whether this is a deliberate lift, but the dress shop sequence with the mannequins is very Bava-esque.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
