I keep going back and forth on this flick and I get most of the reasons why Tarantino did the things he did, but what was the purpose of having the woman scream for what seemed to be a neverending time before DiCaprio torched her?
It was as if it was a homage to The Thing From Another World....
It reminds me of that quote from Spielberg about the end of Jaws where's he like, we already hooked the audience, they're not gonna care if the final scene doesn't make sense.
shareI thought of The Thing (1982) as well or possibly something from Argento. Then I also thought it reminded me of Blade Runner (1982) the way Priss thrashed around and spazzed out before she died.
All I know is I’ve seen something like that before. Lol
Briefly, I also thought of Evil Dead, but that would have been too late of a movie and not fit in with the Hollywood theme...that's why I thought of James Arness in The Thing From Another World....
shareIt reminded me of the jump scare when the blind woman jumps screaming out of the big pot of water in Antropophagus more than anything. I know that sounds weird, but it's exactly the kind of thing Tarantino would pay homage to.
shareCould very well be
shareIt's funny because Uma Thurman kinda does the same thing in Pulp Fiction when she's brought back to life. Gets up, starts screaming and whaling.
shareIt was a fitting end after her disturbing pep talk in the car
