I saw
Videdrome on the big screen at a midnight showing at the weekend.
It's a film that I've seen loads and love, but
BIG and
LOUD enhanced the experience tenfold.
Shore's score really unpinned Renn's downward spiral and the effects, well they still hold up superbly after all these years (apart from the close ups of the revolver morphing into Max's hands - but it's such an amazing idea you don't care if it looks a tad fake).
It appeared that a number of people in the audience hadn't seen it before judging from the gasps and guffaws - what a film to see for the first time at the cinema?
Tonight I've got a double of
The Prowler and the original
My Bloody Valentine to look forward to at the cinema!
