Witching Season Films is a Godsend
8 October 2020
If you experienced 1970s Halloween like someone my age did, you should be following WSF and everything they release. They get it! They Live Inside Us is an excellent film, and it should be part of any self-respecting Halloween enthusiast's collection.

Swamp Ape (2017)
9/10
Swamp Ape rules!
29 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
If you are a fan of B horror movies, this is it! Clichés abound! For those who are reviewing it like it is a cinematic version of Hamlet, horror is not your thing. The best is when all the characters take a swing at Swamp Ape, prompting their demise. The director is a hero, and everyone involved has a worthy sense of humor. Roll a fat one and watch Swamp Ape. This one's going into my collection.

Passion (2012)
4/10
May as well watch the French original
1 March 2014
DePalma must have made this on a lark as it was pretty weak. Some of the shots are stellar, classic Depalma, especially with the use of streaks of bright color on Christine and some of the angles and hard shadows. The casting of Rachael McAdams as Christine was a huge mistake as it is impossible for anyone who saw the original Love Crimes to not compare her to the French Christine. McAdams' character was too young and girly, lacking the poise, command and sophistication required for a person in a position of Christine's. This movie moved too fast and did not explore the psychology of the characters with the necessary patience nor did it pace the plot properly. Noomi Rapace was good, but this is no surprise. Do yourself a favor and see the original, as the acting is far more superb, and it is casted and paced much better. It will not be ruined one bit by seeing Passion beforehand.
