Ignore the critics this is a very well made bizarre horror film with Piper Laurie a year after Carrie 1976. After her gangster boyfriend is gunned down by gangsters he vows revenge. And then the Finn begins years after while Ruby runs a drive in theater in the 1950s would you believe a showing of the classic b movie attack of the 50 foot woman? This is the perfect drive in movie. Avoid the Congress video tape from years ago it is the tv version with all the gore cut out. The newer dvd release is a big improvement. It may be low budget but it's very well made. Great supporting cast as well Stuart Whitman,Roger Davis, Len Lessor who turned up as Seinfeld's uncle on Seinfeld.creepy soundtrack. Drive in Gold .
Very well made back story about the joker. Before the Time of Batman/Bruce Wayne. The joker aka; Arthur Fleck is a tormented victim of abuse in all shape and form. We see a sympathic character who has had enough of the system that benefits the wealthy. But we the audience feel his pain . Hopefully they will do back stories on penguin and the riddler. The cat woman with Halle Berry not good but a reboot needs to be done. Anyway I have to caution viewers it's ultra violent and disturbing. I'm predicting an Oscar nod to Phoenix, I believe he has it in the bag.I was hestitant to seeing this but being a DC/Marvel comic fan I had to give it a chance . I did however enjoy it.We also see Thomas Wayne in a different light. And let's not forget Robert D Nero.As a Johnny Carson copy. Laugh clown Laugh 10 stars.
Ok I was not expecting to enjoy the new child's play. I'm not a reboot lover. I was surprised that the reboot is way better than the 1988 original.A up to date plot that will make people afraid to talk to their Siri or their echo.think about it artificial intelligence. Chunky is voiced by Mark Hamill. Who is a master of character voices. This chicly is more. Creepy than the comical Brad Dourif chucks, there are some really gory scenes one in fact made me cover my eyes. Haven't done that in a long time Don't get me wrong I like the original chucky movies, except seed of chucky.Tim Mathison from animal house plays the spokesman for the company that makes the linteractive dolls.Funny thing is that this was even better than Annabel comes home.
