looking forward to this one


Since the short-film which this one will be based on won awards I think it will be a hugely intriguing feature film. Won't be the usual mainstream stuff as far as I can guess.

I watched the original when it first came out and really liked it back then. I have been trying to find it online or somewhere i can buy it but I havent had any luck, so if anyone know where i can watch/buy it i would like to know.

I just read an article about it and David Hyde Pierce, whom I just adore. I'm so intrigued!

I don't think it has been released on DVD.

I saw this film at Sundance and really enjoyed it for the most part. The only complaint I had was one scene that was thrown in that really didn't fit the rest of the story (the scene where Warwick makes John watch the home video). To me, it just seemed like it was tossed in there as a gratuitous creep-out scene.

I loved the Warick character and especially loved his swagger!

--- SPOILER BELOW ---






















I also felt that the pretend cutting of John with the fake injuries was a little dumb. The story would have been a lot better had Warwick actually killed/injured his victims (Buffalo Bill anyone?) Because it was all staged, it begs the question as to why none of the previous victims had turned him in?

I really want to see this movie, DHP is an amazing actor in my opinion and I can't wait to see him in this unpredictable role.









Dirty night.
