Alright, so I threw caution to the wind and saw this 1995 John Carpenter flick. Although I was sceptic, I have to say the movie was better than I feared. Actually, it was interestinf and engaging from start to finish. The movie opens with protagonist Trent being comitted to an insane asylum and the majority of the movie is the story about how he got there, told to a psychiatrist played by David Warner. It started with the disappearance of Sutter Cane. Sutter Cane is a horror writer who's fiction has become immensly popular and he's sold over a billion books. They are typical Lovecraftian horror stories of things lurking in the dark and people going crazy and mutating into things. Lately, more and more of his fans have been going a little crazy and Sutter himself has been gone for two weeks. His publisher sends private investigator Trent (protagonist) to find Sutter Cane and bring back his latest book. The resulting story is quite far out there with horror fiction turning into fact and the ultimate doom of mankind. The movie is ripe with tributes and references to H.P. Lovecraft. Although such big topics are kind of hard to handle on smaller budgets, this movie manages to keep it all interesting from start to finish. Too outlandish to be scary, but still a good film. Far from his best, but still worth the watch if you like horror films.

Finally got around to ordering this and watched it the other day. So far I though Cube Zero was a bit better but they each have good qualities. Basically both have the same premises. One is more isolated which makes you draw some of your own conclusion. The other adds another dimension to the plot which is interesting also. I have Cube 2 but haven't watched it yet. From what I've read it's going to be "bigger budget - weaker film". |

Yeah there's 90 minutes I'll never get back. The animal killings were obviously pretty fucked up but it was just a bad movie in general, bad acting, exploitative, and had no positive attributes to it. |

The Hippies, the Drugs and the Mud are all there. Really nice movie with a really good dialogue, enjoyable and funny. The original music has captured perfectly the spirit of the time, and some 60s classics matched beautifully the image. The movie was basically about the character Elliot Tiber, starting Woodstock, and not about the festival itself. I felt it was a good point, as there's already great movies and documentaries about Woodstock that I don't think need any remakes. Tho there's a negative point in this; I've felt all along, that I'm so close to seeing Woodstock but still that moment wouldn't come, that was a bummer. One of my favorite scenes in the movie, an LSD trip to Love's The Red Telephone. and other memorable moments can be found in that movie. I think it could've been better. 30 minutes can easily be cropped from this movie. But still a really good movie. 7/10

That was awesome, and he's totally right.
Lynch is a pretty cool guy. |
