Mimsy Farmer, In Danger Again
30 May 2003
Warning: Spoilers
**May Contain Spoilers**

The oddly-named and strangely attractive Mimsy Farmer is at it again, in another of the imperiled/troubled/and possibly insane roles that she had down to a science back in the 1970s. (You can also catch this act in AUTOPSY, THE BLACK CAT, and FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET, among others.) This time she's an initially happy career-woman whose life goes down the tubes when awful images from her childhood begin plaguing her and people close to her turn up dead. Is she going crazy on her own, or is it some sort of Satanic conspiracy? It'll take you awhile to find out, and gorehounds will have to wait an hour to see even a trace of the bright red stuff; but there's enough foreboding atmosphere, strange locations and bizarre characters to hold interest until then. (If all else fails, you can amuse yourself by trying to figure out who has the bigger Lauren-Hutton-style gap between the front teeth, Mimsy or supporting player Daniela Barnes.) Gore highlights in the final reels include two vicious cleaver murders, severed body parts in a cat's dinner dish and a brief but powerful gut-wrenching finale that will stick in your cranium for days afterward.
