Here's a Halloween movie recommendation, saw it at Roxy Cinemas last night, Larry Fessenden's "Habit" -- a sloppy drunk seduced by a vampire!
ReplyDelete"...death and lust as a parable for the existential crisis of a wandering soul, in the dive bars and Alphabet City apartments of a 1990s East Village milieu..... Habit is a naturalistic and stark portrayal of personal demons, addiction, and losing control over the specter of madness in one’s life set against a bleak urban landscape."
You're welcome.
'Halloween,' is my favorite horror film. The best part about it was the lack of gore and the increase of terror and psychological fear. The musical score, the dark lightening, to the performances of the actors, all take it to another level. Movies such as this aren't made anymore, sadly. Thanks EV Grieve for the recommendation at Sunshine Theater. I will definitely be there. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDelete6:07pm Halloween (not a remake despite the title but a sequel to the original John Carpenter says will treat the movies after the original Halloween as if they never existed) is coming out on Friday, October 19th, forty years to the date of the original Halloween's release. It'll star Jamie Lee Curtis and be scored by John Carpenter who isn't directing or writing it. I think it'll either really suck or be decent, I see no in between LOL. We'll see.
