Who's creepier? David or Evelyn?
It's obvious that Evelyn is cast as the lunatic who acts normal with brief moments of crazy outbursts and inappropriate behavior, but I felt David was pretty creepy too. Maybe the creepiness was just Clint's persona shining through in that he was being himself.
Examples:
How do you like your steak? "Extremely rare!" (with a glint in his eye and an affected rasp in his voice. That's creepy and he acted creepy in that moment as if he was trying to impress her that he was predatory in nature. Since she is the active "predator" he has a knee-jerk reaction to respond that way. Only she is more genuine while he is acting.
Example 2 - He sneaks into Tobie's apartment in the dimly lit room while she's working on a glass sculpture. "Where have you been?" in that creepy and threatening tone. Just creepy, odd and weird.
Example 3 - any moment he has with Tobie he seems to give off creepy vibes and looks toward her. It comes off as lecherous and manipulative.
Example 4 - His musings on the radio while deejaying are just so uncharacteristic of what I know about deejays. The whispering of the poetry and the lurid intonation just screams "Wierdo".
But the whole performance of Eastwood is creepy in this flick.
