First half is really a "Scream"!
17 June 2005
You betcha, I caught this one when it first came out. The opening scene with the babysitter and the *UNLOCKED DOOR* and the *REALLY MESSY* obscene phone call from "The Breather" set just the right tone--sort of like a "Carol Burnett Show" sketch uncensored! I was practically in the aisle laughing with the killer's choices of murder implements(beware the eggplant). It's really too bad, then, that the second half of the movie practically grinds to a halt. It really had me going there for awhile. Watch the first half and see how "Scary Movie" was REALLY inspired! By the way--Richard Brando as "The Breather"? My Aunt Fanny! Anyone can tell from his voice that it was really character actor Jack Weston. Uh, you know, Jack Weston? He played the fed riding Burt Reynolds in "Gator"? Also starred in "The Ritz"? "Wait Until Dark"? "The Incredible Mister Limpet"? Ahh, forget it. Kids these days...
