Fade to Black (1980)
5/10
Starts strong, but fizzles out.
10 April 2023
Cool to see a movie before the slasher boom with the plot of a film-obsessed psycho murdering people inspired by classic films. Seems like I'll be in the minority here, but this movie didn't do it for me.

It was superrrrrr slow and while it started off strong, it ended up falling apart half way through, getting very uninteresting. The Marilyn character was very underused, Eric was unlikable and the detective sub plot is a real drag.

That said, I enjoyed the cinematography, and general idea. But this is one of the few times where I'd like to see someone remake this. Then again, the plot isn't supremely unique in this day and age.
