Wow.
Chilling. In one movie, understatement, subtle comedy, and the performance of Willem Dafoe’s career come together to provide what decades of slasher films have failed to – Terror.
Or, as paraphrased from Robert Christgau’s review of R.E.M.’s ‘Document’ –
“…nightmares of a world in flames, the kind you
remember in all their scary inconsistency because you woke up (screaming) in the middle.
How it will all end I couldn’t say…”
-Puppy >.< Grrr…
