The Changeling (1980)
A true spooky story
I understand people see Patton in George C Scott, however, this film stands on its own. without giving any details away this story is about Scott renting a house and bit by bit he discovers the supernatural residing in this creepy place. though most would run away of course Scott uncovers a dark old mystery. Hey go rent this one on DVD or tape if you must.Yea its a bit dated with the big hair big cars etc though this takes nothing significant from the plot. Scott is an actor that we can all feel safe with though in this film there are times that would scare anyone. Another good point is that this film doesn't get bloody or gory the art is in the suspense though there are a little bit of skeletons in the closet of the film.If you like Six Senth or the other spooky type films this one is a class act you will enjoy this flick. A great deal for a cheap old rental!
Les couloirs du temps: Les visiteurs II (1998)
A bad nightmare!
This film is so bad and gets worse in every imaginable fashion. Its not just the poor acting and script nor is it the lame and perverse time one wastes on watching it. What really puts this film in my hall of shame is the apparent struggling that the writers and producers do with the film to try and make it funny. The actress replacing Jean Reno's descendant is to old and learned her lesson in the first film so they add a new girl who is to be married. Nearly all of the original extras and gags return however this time makes me want to ripe my eyes out of my sockets because it's a waste of perfectly good film. The torture of the constant camera cuts and shots in any scene in this movie can put the viewer into violent convolutions. This second film takes the successful original and drags it out of its coffin and parades the corpse out in the public square and perversely degrades not only the original idea and its legacy but our intelligence as well. This film unlike the spruce goose could not fly for it had no plot in the principals returning for a 'necklace'. No script since it was apparently written and added to daily. No attention to camera or shots in mind. Poor lighting and special effects done for the sake of doing so. This film would not even pass for a student film in basic Film 101. How this pile got through no one can tell. It was a big loosing investment and it appears that no one had the strength to put this unnatural cruel mistake out of our miseries. This movie has one good part ...its END! This film is my #1 worst film of all time, finally "Howard The Duck" is no longer the goose.
