At least the reviews were very unkind to it. I do hope a new version of RR is made and that it's faithful to the source material. I think then it would still be a monster movie, but one of a different sort that we're used to seeing.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-38812075231574903752013-03-10T15:22:25.996-07:002013-03-10T15:22:25.996-07:00I thought the gore and monster make up were quite ...I thought the gore and monster make up were quite good, too, Fran. There's some facial contortions here and there, which were a nice touch.<br /><br />I am assuming the reason he doesn't kill women (in the story) results from their menstruation cycle leaving the blood distasteful to him. Apparently, raping them isn't off limits, though!venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-64570734951348746402013-03-10T15:17:10.517-07:002013-03-10T15:17:10.517-07:00omg such a hilariously stupid flick! :D
I remembe...omg such a hilariously stupid flick! :D<br /><br />I remember seeing the cover of the German VHS, thinking: "Wow, this must be awesome!" Then I saw it and I was like "WTF?"<br />Agree with you on the ending: Manitou to the max! :)<br /><br />At least, it's not as bad as the director's previous borefest "Underworld".Maynard Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484689288762406307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-21802449739665018152013-03-08T06:47:22.264-08:002013-03-08T06:47:22.264-08:00Agree with ya, stupid to the max, as you mentioned...Agree with ya, stupid to the max, as you mentioned, it sometimes displays Barker's recurrent interest in exploring religion (actually more like bashing it)but it never really gets there. Still, the ideas are suggested that christianity is something that at one time did not exist, and that other religions existed before it, but thats about as far as that goes. <br /><br />Barker always enjoys deminishing christianity somehow, I remember in Nightbreed there was also a priest who goes crazy and ends up being one of the monsters. <br /><br />I like the gore in the movie and the make up effects, even if the monster does seem to have the same expression all the time! ha ha...<br /><br />Interesting how you mention the monster prefers men to women, when we take in consideration that Barker's gay, then that makes a whole lot of sense! <br /> Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.com
