Egads!<br /><br />@Stephen--I had no idea! But it makes sense, actually. I'm sure the hardcore inserts (ba-dump) don't really add much to the plot, however. ;)<br /><br />@Jenn--I thought so! <br /><br />@J. Astro--I just love that poster, partly b/c it's a beautiful work of art, but mostly b/c it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the movie. Based on that, you'd think you're in for a James Bond-ripoff spy caper, and instead you get turn-of-the-century Italo-Irish gothickry. Switcheroo!<br /><br />@Samuel--glad to be of service, as always!<br /><br />@Giovanni--I would change "Even though it was sleazy and nonsensical" to "BECAUSE it was sleazy and nonsensical"! When it comes to mad movie joy, that's what puts a spring in my step and starch in my monastic robes!<br /><br />@Emily--you're too kind. But I think the movie is entertaining in its own right, if viewed in the proper frame of mind. And ain't nobody's mind framed like yours! ;)The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-46754413014763882942011-08-15T06:39:50.132-05:002011-08-15T06:39:50.132-05:00This review entertained me immensely, and probably...This review entertained me immensely, and probably immensely more so than watching the film itself.

Even though it was sleazy and nonsensical (nothing wrong with that), I was still intrigued. I enjoyed the mood setting campy synth score and Cora’s amusing and emasculating comments to Samuel. <br /><br />I always try to understand the ending but it seems to be confusing and twisting just for the hell of it, and I love it. I think the fake confession from Samuel might have been him trying to get his balls back after all the abuse he’s taken.Giovanni Susinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253382939348997303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-48268065962864594142011-07-31T00:18:16.296-05:002011-07-31T00:18:16.296-05:00Lesbianism and killing and religious fanatics.
