Rish Outfield's reviews
Damn, I hate this movie. I can't even begin to write up a review for it.
(The fact that I saw it in 1997 doesn't help either). It was so terrible as
to cause me physical pain. I just pray that when Donald Pleasence was before
St. Peter, no one in Heaven had seen this yet. I may go into more detail
sometime...but not today.
Best Scare: ?
I'd Recommend It To: Staaaaaaaay awaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!!
The tyranist's thoughts
Put very, very simply, this is the worst film I have seen in a really long time. There are at least six different
plots that are picked up and dropped without so much as a little tiny bit of exposition. It is so hard to keep track
of who is in danger that you forget to care. The editing is so fast at points that I think it has cause epileptic
seisures. What little backstory they do try to offer is at total odds with almost all of the rest of the movies.
Dr. Loomis is barely a character. I am hoping to someday see the Producer's Cut, but I will never watch this one
again.
Note: Rish Outfield and I have only seen this movie once and it was a long time before we started doing these reviews. Therefore, we have pieced together its skulls based on our memories of the movie. We may have missed a number of good ones, but we are completely unwilling to ever torture ourselves this way again. If you have recently watched this movie whether it was on a sick dare or just pure masochism and know of a skull we missed, by all means, email me and tell me. Please include a description of the scene that earns the skull as well.
