I want to trust what we see, ie. - he is in Italy, he is doing sound for a film. He is clearly unfamiliar with Italian customs - greetings, celebrations etc., which tells me it's not a fantasy, these people are real. Plus, we see things that he doesn't - eg. the projectionists hand. All IMHO, of course. Maybe the commentary sheds more light? |

Went to a double bill of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT at the dance house in manchester last night. Texas really benefits from the big screen and it was an entirely fresh experience for me, I came out the theatre reeling and still had the buzzing of the saw ringing in my ears. Really hammered home how much it owes PSYCHO and how much subesquent horror movies owe it. If you ever get the chance check this out on the big screen. After a beer to steady my nerves post-tcm, I went back to catch LAST HOUSE. Still very rough around the edges and uneven, this still adds to the verite feel of the film and was uncomfortable viewing. (aside from one person somewhere in the theatre who thought the shot of krugs apparent post rape remorse was funny ) Like TCM it was good to see it on a big screen, and it still packs a punch.Also still weird to tee martin kove (karate kid) as the dumb deputy! |

Right, the commentary! Now I'm only twenty mins into the movie but I thought it was interesting that around ten minutes into the commentary the director mentions the dilemma he faced with regard to discussing the films plot and how much to explain. The implication being that there is something to actually explain and it's not simply Gilderoy going nuts.
