I finally got around to watching it and was pleasantly suprised, it was better than I thought it would be. For one, the camera work was amazing. Great color and graphic work, and the editing effectively added the right amounts of uneasiness, suspense, etc. Crispin Glover was SO excellent in his performance and should receive an Oscar nomination (although he probably won't as snooty Oscar will shun this movie), he was the perfect casting choice for Willard. Jackie Burroughs was effectively repulsive as his mother and R. Lee Ermey for the most part did well although his last scene could of been a lot more dramatic, he doesn't do death very well. The story itself was well done for the most part. The only complaints I have is the cheesy and inappropriate into-like someone else on here said, it made the movie look like it was Beetlejuice or Danny Elfman or something. Definitely not keeping in tone with the rest of the movie. Also, on the DVD, there were the usual deleted scenes along with the original ending. The original ending was sooo much better than the ending that ended up in the film-they should of never listened to the test audience. Even a couple of the deleted scenes would of filled in some minor holes that were otherwise not explained, but it was nothing glaringly overlooked. Overall this is a decent movie and I would recommend it. My score: 6.5/10.
