hehe. Mention it and it will appear! As I was saying, this is by far my favourite film from the list I came away with after watching Not Quite Holllywood. So eerie, love the slow build of suspense, and the final scenes are pitch perfect . . . |
Haunted me for years when I saw it as a kid but missed the beginning, so never knew the title. I even wondered if I dreamt it. When I saw it again it was even better than I remembered. I LOVE THIS FILM. |
It has been quite a while since I saw this when I watched the remake, a film I like quite a bit but, when I revisited the 1977 original, the atmosphere and overall creepiness really blows the remake out the water. Great film. |
Yeah I heard the remake was one of those shot-for-shot jobbies, so not really that interested. Plus Jim Caviezel (or however you spell it!) is such a bland leading man . . . |
It's not really a shot for shot remake in the same vein as Gus Van Sant's Psycho as there are a few more 'crimes against nature' at the beginning, the whole thing with the campervan has a slightly different element and the couple (to the best of my recollection) meet different ends in the remake. Although it's inferior, it is still worth a watch. |
I'm sure it will end up on tv at some point . . . |
a great little film, and one of few childhood memories which lived up to it. recommended! |
My favourite genre movie, pitch perfect psychological horror, clelverly written, intensely acted and stylishly directed.:rockon: The remake is well enough made but a wasted opportunity, as it would have been far more interesting to add a modern, fresh approach to the whole affair instead of copying it scene by scene.:rolleyes: |
Good to see this film is held in such high esteem. For atmosphere it's hard to whack,and the protagonists deserve what they get. Remake? Coudn't lace the original's boots! |
