As
all the time, I’ll first republish the guidelines I’ve about such lists as
these:
I
have a problem with “Better of” and “Worst of” year-end lists for the next
causes: most are chosen from both people who play in theaters. For me, I
like to observe the DIY ones, for these are inclined to have extra coronary heart. My checklist consists
of movies that I noticed and reviewed in 2021, not essentially ones that had been
initially n that yr.
As
for Greatest and Worst, I by no means preferred these phrases; artwork is simply method too subjective,
which is why I referred to as them Favorites and Not Favorites. That being mentioned, even
the “Not” ones have redeeming qualities, and the truth that I felt that they had
points means nothing. I’ve hated movies which have gained tons of awards, and
preferred some that different discover abhorrent, so don’t take something I say, good or
unhealthy, because the definitive. It’s simply opinion, and I welcome you to agree or
disagree. It’s all good.
These
two lists are alphabetical, slightly than ranked (one other factor I don’t imagine
in).
These
are condensed opinions. The hyperlink to the total, unique overview is on the backside
of every itemizing.

Dante’s Shadow of Sin
Directed by Dakota Ray
I ask you: within the time
of Covid, what’s a person alleged to do? Straightforward, simply down a glass or two of
absinthe, get a brand new and sharper lens in your digicam, and direct your eighth
movie of nihilistic conduct, as has executed Denver-based
director/author/cinematographer/editor Dakota Ray. Ray’s attribute use of
monochrome-colored filters, on this case one that may be a wealthy, darkish blue hue, the
new lens actually is unimaginable at displaying particulars. As is his wont and proper, the
title character is performed by the director and his insanely deep voice, who in
the primary line, explains the nihilism that clouds his very soul: “My title is
Dante, and I serve no man however myself.” He’s remorseless, unhinged from
actuality, and a whole narcissist. There may be a variety of nice modifying by Ray,
which improves with each movie, between characters, objects, Satanic symbols,
and bugs in numerous states of well being. These, their use as subliminal
commentary on the motion, all grow to be characters in their very own proper in a method,
slightly than simply be filler. Two years after committing a horrific homicide, Dante
is contacted by an acquaintance, Mahoganny who has inherited the Boleskin Home
(referencing the Boleskine Home in Scotland, owned by famend Satanist
Aleister Crowley and guitarist Jimmy Web page). Mahoganny suggests they get
collectively and go to the home. The title Mahoganny is extra symbolic for the
hardness and darkness of his coronary heart slightly than pores and skin colour. All through the movie,
we hear the ideas of the 2 central characters greater than phrases are spoken,
which is sensible since a lot of the planning of those two are secretive, so
we grow to be cognizant of simply what the hell is occurring. We additionally hear the
drug-induced disembodied voices of objects akin to dolls, a white rabbit and a
goat head who signify the Satanic components. Dante, although not redeemable,
kills for a objective, even whether it is self-gratification. With Mahoganny, nonetheless,
gradual and painful management and sadism is extra his pace. These two each know that
the time within the trip home is not going to finish effectively, and every has a motive to be
the one one out, however the build-up to the confrontation is a big a part of what
is occurring via the story. With hexes, medicine, alcohol and simply sheer
deviance of a mess of natures, these guys have a deep hatred that Ray
manages to convey fairly strongly. It a steadily intensifying to-the-death duel,
each mentally and bodily. The lightening within the sky is a foretelling of the
unhealthy actions to return. The movie is damaged into quite a few chapters through lengthy
title playing cards. That is additionally widespread amongst Ray’s movies. Nonetheless, story-wise, this
is essentially the most cohesive of the eight, being slightly threadbare in its plot. Relatively
than mixing quite a few totally different tales into one, right here he focuses on the 2 most important
characters, and sure, you would say that it nonetheless two tales into one, however its
focus is extra precise, with much less opaque moments. As a lot as I’ve loved all of
Ray’s releases, I feel this one might be a turning level so far as a pathway.
As a lot as I just like the previous ones, I sit up for the swing on this course.

The Endlessly
Room
Directed by Kevin Hicks
This psychological thriller begins off with Claire, a younger girl who’s
chained by her ankle in a basement someplace that has fundamental requirements, and a
bucket for, effectively, you understand. Nonetheless, there may be naught however herself to spend the
time. She is method angrier than she is petrified of her captor, an older girl named
Helen. The latter accuses Claire of committing a heinous crime and states, “You
have a variety of skeletons in your closet, pricey,” which Claire vehemently denies.
That’s simply the opening. Because the movie progresses, issues will not be all the time what
they appear at first, and far of the story is the premise of the connection
between these two ladies. Claire is confused and offended, and Helen is (principally)
calm and calculating, lots of their exchanges being when it’s feeding time.
Every dialog builds on the earlier one, with bits of data to the
viewers to fill them in. Regardless of the claustrophobia of the small room through which
Claire forcibly occupies, the story is attention-grabbing, and the viewer desires to
know an increasing number of of what put these two individuals on this dire state of affairs. Claire
doesn’t keep in mind something earlier than being chained up, however components of her previous are
telegraphed by each occasions that occur to Claire within the room, and the issues
she hears. In the meantime, individuals maintain showing when Claire is alone, akin to a
center aged man, Ethan, Rebecca, who’s nearer to her age, and a boy named
Michael who appears to be enjoying a recreation of conceal and search with Claire. Rebecca
explains how she is a figment of Claire’s creativeness (“Haven’t you ever had an
imaginary buddy?”), however one thing darkish brings out these three…and a few
sock puppets. No, I’m not kidding. Presumably it’s a bit like Gerald’s Sport (2017)
in that the creativeness runs havoc, maybe it’s desires, or is it one thing
extra sinister or supernatural than that? Over time, the frequency of the
pop-ins will increase and grow to be extra intense. Typically it’s extremely creepy,
particularly with Ethan and Michael. Rebecca is form of a Greek Refrain in that
she helps with some self-questioning and items of exposition for the viewer.
Or maybe it’s Claire’s personal mind consuming itself as a result of she refuses to eat
for days on finish. Regardless of the small, slim area, the filming work is effectively
staged, nearly like a three-camera tv shoot, maintain the elbow room nonetheless
tight, however not too claustrophobic. The 2 feminine leads show themselves to be
naturalistic actors who makes it look straightforward, making them each empathetic and
unhinged in fearless performances. The lighting is phenomenal, with shades of
main colours, however to not the Creepshow (1982) stage, however extra of a practical
tone, and with the modifying offers some enlargement to the area. Talking of the
basement, this might really be a one-set play, utilizing shadows and darkish spots
for characters to “pop” out and in fairly simply. It nearly looks as if it was
written that method. For a troupe of 5 (not counting the 2 puppets), the
story stays partaking for the total run time, and though the area is small,
as is the forged, it stays compelling. The ultimate act is filled with surprising
moments and solutions fairly just a few questions. A very good watch.

A Ghost Waits
Directed by Adam Stovall
Most of us have seen
hauntings movies, the place the spirits are current within the house and they’re going
to most likely scare the inhabitants away. That is the job of a specific ghost,
Muriel, and she or he is a champ at it. Nobody will keep on the Cincinnati home,
which is – within the alive world – possessed by a administration firm that
simply desires the issue of continually rotating lease-breaking tenants solved. To
get the home prepared for the following renters, handyman worker Jack clear sup and
takes care of any points. It turns into fairly apparent early on that what’s there
walks alone, and steals his pizza. Jack is a little bit of a ne’er-do-well although good
at his job, and is simply floating via life in a job that doesn’t actually imply
a lot to him. It’s fairly apparent that Muriel and Jack are going to attach on
some stage. It takes some time, however these two misplaced souls are on the lookout for
one thing and somebody. Muriel has her personal points along with her by-the-book spook
supervisor, Ms. Henry and a fellow up-and-coming “spectral agent” Rosie. This
movie positively has a comic book vibe to it, although it’s extra of a “dramedy.” It’s
effectively written, particularly the way in which it makes use of the soundtrack as one other main
character. Additionally it is attention-grabbing to see the variations between the 2 most important
haunting ghosts. Rosie is newer, and extra up-to-date in her language as a
teenager, whereas Muriel talks with no contractions, as in “I don’t,” as opposed
to the extra fashionable “I don’t”. I believed this was a very sensible, deliberate,
and delicate selection. One other one of many understated factors of the movie, although
written by males, is that the strongest characters listed here are the ladies. Jack is
type of weak and customarily unmotivated in life, however Muriel likes what
she does and is, to say the least, fierce. And but she has so much to be taught in
the expertise which makes her extra impartial and a pacesetter (akin to over
Rosie), taking management of her personal life – er – demise to make decisions. This
pro-women side is among the finer themes of the movie for me. As a result of, in
half, because of the usage of sharp shadows, particularly on Muriel’s face as she is
constantly lit from beneath (as are all of the spectral brokers), the movie works so
significantly better in Black and White and, once more, it was a sensible selection. It’s simply the
correct quantity of grainy, which gives the impression a way of texture. There are additionally
many very lengthy photographs, some static and others following the characters, slightly
than a jumble of fast edits. It really works for the tempo of the story. Whereas I
thought the ending was predictable, it was actually the appropriate solution to finish this, so
I didn’t let that get in the way in which of the story. Total, it was the appropriate
size to maintain the curiosity up, and had some actually nice moments. The performing is
high notch and helps make the movie much more pleasing. That is enjoyable, and will
play effectively as a date evening movie with out being too Hallmarky over-schmaltz.
For a director’s first movie, that is fairly compelling and a optimistic launch.

Lake Michigan
Monster
Directed by Ryland
Brickson Cole Tews
Virtually like a Terry Gilliam fever dream, we’re launched to Capt.
Seafield (director Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) who explains that his pricey ole
dad was killed by the titular creature, and gathers a crew collectively to seek out and
slay it. There may be snarky weapons professional Sean Shaughnessy (Erick West), Sonar
“particular person” Nedge Pepsi (Beulah Peters), and former Naval Officer Dick Flynn
(Daniel Lengthy), or as Seafield calls them, “The Workforce of the Century.” There may be
extra to the forged, such because the director’s father enjoying his pirate-clad brother
Ashcroft (Wayne Tewsd), and his 87-year-old grandmother enjoying his spouse,
Martha (Lucille Tews). The cool-yet-chincey-in-a-good-way trying sea hag
monster is performed by the director, Ryland, that appears a bit just like the titular The
She-Creature (1956). After all, issues don’t go as deliberate, as if there
had been an actual plan, although that not-real plan will get performed out greater than as soon as,
resulting in a mutiny of types. I can’t give away a lot of the story, akin to
it’s, and can as an alternative enjoy its madness. By what seems to be like it could
be Paper Mache masks, surroundings and monsters, together with the graphics, Tews’
imaginative and prescient is dropped at life, in its personal twisted world inside our world. There are
some superb set items, principally both on or beneath the water, in Milwaukee
(beer performs a key position on this, as needs to be, as beer might be what made
Milwaukee well-known), the North Level Gentle Station (lighthouse), or on the Lake
X-press ferry. The entire third act’s setting is ridiculous at greatest, which is
a part of what makes its allure. The movie is shot in contrasty and grainy black
and white with “movie scratches” added in to “age” it. Even so, there’s a lot
of animation work happening; when it was filmed it was with a inexperienced display to
add texture and mentioned pc graphics. There are 3 ways to observe this
movie. The primary is get shitfaced and to only mock it such as you’re on “Thriller
Science Theater 3000”; have a blast! The second is to see it straight, pay
consideration to the humor and catch the strains the stoners are sure to overlook, and
really feel righteously smug (my class). Third is to only assume it’s a silly mess
and switch it off after 5 minutes as you’ll with the likes of Monty Python
and complain that “SNL” hasn’t been humorous since John Belushi left. For me, I
discovered it fairly amusing, realizing I’d be watching it once more to dig for the
jokes I missed, and I’m guessing there are just a few. There are some influences
right here and there, akin to Man Maddin, and there’s a little bit of the nice Capt.
enjoying checkers with a ghost a la Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal (1957).
It took me three joyful days to observe the movie and all of the extras.

Making
Monsters
Directed by Justin Harding and Rob Brunner
The story
facilities round a pair: Christian runs his prank website, after which there may be the
focus of his vicious pranking, his fiancé Allison. Merry prankster, certainly,
earning profits off those that he terrorizes. Allison is wired and executed,
and asks him to chop it the fuck out, so that they resolve to take a while and go to
pals out within the nation. In style movies, is it ever good to exit to
a home – really, a deconsecrated church – in the midst of nowheresville (a
fancier cabin-eth within the woods)? This one is owned by Chris’s long-lost
college buddy Jesse and his fiancé, the very odd and off David, who’s an uber
fan of the prank movies. Within the phrases of that different nice thinker, Astro, “Ruh-row.”
After an evening of some intercourse and medicines, this results in one thing unworldly. As much as
now, it’s been in our realm, however post-hallucinogenic, the viewers isn’t certain
what we’re seeing is supernatural or a part of a mind-bender, resulting in some
good and creepy shit, and a few respectable bounce scares. The query is what occurs
when a prankster meets the darkish Net actual deal? A style of his personal medication? You
see a few of this coming early on within the second Act, however sure components maintain
the tensions taut, I’m joyful to say. That is positively a watch between the
fingers type of movie, and never simply due to the violence, however the expectation
of it. That’s what makes this pleasing. This might have been actually corny, however
the performing, particularly by the 2 leads, and the way in which it was shot and stylishly
put collectively by the administrators (who’ve labored extensively in tv, such
as “Prime Chef Canada” and “Canada’s Worst Drivers”), make this a fairly stable
scarefest. By the tip, the stress actually ramps up and turns into fairly a frenetic
movie as our killer, in a masks that I suppose is supposed to replicate Chris’s look
with lengthy hair and a considerably beard, makes his method via the small forged with
fairly ugly and fantastically executed SFX. As I’ve indicated earlier, there may be
a supernatural ingredient to the movie within the type of a ghost, which was nice for
some bounce scares, however actually, there actually didn’t have to be something like
that wanted, because the spookie actually doesn’t advance the story in any respect (although it
seems to be cool), and the human a part of it’s actually terrifying sufficient. That
being mentioned, this is among the higher slasher movies I’ve seen shortly,
being modern whereas not going too far off the mark for some efficient style
tropes. Yeah, I loved this one so much.

Winifred Meeks
Directed by Jason Figgis
Asthmatic Anna
James (Lara Belmont) is a well-liked writer of youth mysteries on a deadline, who
has hit a dry patch. What higher solution to rekindle a writing block than to hire a
gorgeous home in the midst of nowhere? This specific trope is effectively; maybe
the underlying connection is that the inventive thoughts is extra open to
spirituality. Anyway, the
Seaview Home in Suffolk, England, is gorgeous, however imbued with a darkness
(filters assist) that might have come proper out of Shirley Jackson’s iconic
opening paragraph of her novel The Haunting of Hill Home (1959). At
as soon as each fashionable (akin to a flat-screen TV) and rustic (lead pane home windows and a
dial cellphone), it’s a good place for a spookie to be hanging round, doncha
assume? I actually loved how he would situate the digicam in a special room,
and you’ll watch the character of focus via the doorway. The
first act is generally atmospheric, as Anna settles in for the evening, with a
stunning rating and lengthy and splendid photographs in the beginning, apart from a fast
bounce scare. We get acquainted with the disappointment of Anna, reflecting these moody
views of her non permanent life on the home. It positively begins
as a gradual burn, with one delicate indication that there’s something not proper,
proven nearly as a throwaway line (okay picture), and one other warning of what’s to
come. Ever slowly, however more and more so, the presence of a earlier proprietor, the titular
Winifred makes herself recognized. She vacillates between disappointment and anger, each
reflecting the temper of Anna, however bringing her personal story with it, which is the
thriller behind the movie of which Anna seeks to be taught within the second act. Whereas
this can be a up to date story – albeit with an older ghost from 100 years
in the past – I’d positively outline this as gothic, with its turn-of-the-century
(not less than) home and what inhabits inside its partitions (and past). I believed I found out the ending
fairly early on, however I’m joyful to say I used to be incorrect, Figgis didn’t take the straightforward
and apparent route, which is refreshing. With solely two residing on-screen
characters and one un-, the remainder of the forged is both on the cellphone or principally
the radio. Maybe the disembodied voices are to replicate the spirits of the
world, or particularly Winifred. It’s a stable selection. The images and
drone work are wonderful, over the gorgeous West Coast of England. There isn’t a blood, no violence, no
nudity (apart from an higher again), and no contact, and but this nonetheless manages
to be extraordinarily creepy, which is a credit score to Figgis. My appreciation of his
work simply retains rising.

Witness An infection
Directed by Andy
Palmer
We’re launched to 2 rival mob households from Jersey, who went into
the witness safety program, and by an FBI mistake, each get despatched to the
identical small metropolis of Temecula, California. For sure, there are a variety of
bowling shirts and jumpsuits. Relatively than go to battle and kill one another, they
pull a Darkish Ages kind deal between them, the place Carlo – who runs a pet grooming
store – and rival gang daughter Patricia have one week to get married, after which
produce a child. Neither is joyful about this association, particularly Carlo’s
co-groomer, Gina, who loves him. When you have already found out the place this
goes, it is not going to matter in the long term. Alongside for the journey is Carlo’s older letch
and cinephile cousin and (additional) comedian aid Vince, who has the very best line in
the movie. Anyhow, there’s a well-liked road meat meals truck promoting sausage sangwiches
that’s having a disastrous impact on individuals, turning them into zombies, however whereas
stumbling round will also be quick, and positively with a George A. Romero-style
starvation. Oh, and their pores and skin begins to boil and soften.Whereas the humor is generally
verbal and fairly constant, it’s value paying consideration as a result of there are a lot
of throw-away strains which might be straightforward to overlook, and are too good to disregard (even
the groaners). A part of the enjoyable is the various different movie references, from the
verbal mentioning of some movies to the extra delicate ones like two hit males who
appear to be proper out of Pulp Fiction (1994), after which there’s Rose,
presenting a nice Pam Grier/Coffy-like (1973) pose; her meta-commentary
on blacks in style movies is a hoot.The primary two acts, that are completely value
watching, is generally comedy, however then the massacre begins in earnest within the
third act. There’s a large physique depend, and copious quantities of blood, weapons, gore,
and guts, and appears spectacular.Normally in a movie like this, the tendency is to
play the characters broadly – often an excessive amount of so – however director Andy Palmer
manages to squeeze out some very nice performances, though a bit over
the highest in stereotypes. This can be a good factor. It isn’t shocking to me,
although, as a result of the forged is well-seasons with giant quantities of credit on IMDB.
This is among the higher zombie movies I’ve seen shortly, particularly in
the comedian vein (pun not supposed).

Not Favorites:
Bigfoot’s Bride
Directed by Erick Wofford
Bigfoot ain’t the one factor retro happening right here. W set foot within the woods with
an old-film-into-VHS-style filter that often provides scratches and
“rolling” distortion to the pictures, and an oversaturation of colour. There may be
additionally an ‘80s-style synth soundtrack (not counting the superb Americana music
over the credit). The movie seems to be shot on a single-camera in Georgia,
together with the gorgeous Chattahoochee Nationwide Forest, about two hours
northeast of Atlanta. And since it’s a throwback, it ought to come as no
shock that there are Bigfoot POV photographs utilizing what I imagine is an infra-red,
fisheye lens. It positively isn’t taking itself too significantly and is a really
dry comedy, and I like that. Nonetheless, it’s extra humorous than humorous, making
the occasional bits stand out all of the extra. The titular bride is Heather. She’s
pitched her tent within the woods on her personal (who does that?), with you-know-who
watching her each transfer, together with some cringy lavatory moments. It’s love at
first sight for Biggie, as he follows her round like a schoolboy, making an attempt to
rise up the braveness to method her (you heard me). In the meantime there may be
fish to attempt to catch, and RVs to rummage, and different campers/physique depend upon
which to chomp. It’s all a matter of survival for our Bigfoot, which appears to
not be too straightforward. The creature’s head and the movie’s make-up look fairly good,
even at its cheesiest. He does look extra like Toxie or a later model of Jason
Vorhees than Bigfoot – plus he wears overalls with a nametag and his higher hair
is an apparent jacket – however within the phrases of Liam Lynch, no matter.
There may be a variety of sensible results, even a contact of cartoonish gore, however the
occasional time there may be blood spray, it’s hysterically cartoonish CGI,
reminding me of the “Pow” balloons within the outdated “Batman” tv present from 1965.
I’ve little doubt this was executed purposefully, and it made me chortle out loud. One
of the attention-grabbing points of this movie is that even when Biggie interacts with
others, it’s uncommon to see him and the opposite individual in the identical shot, however slightly
goes forwards and backwards like they weren’t filmed on the identical time. Maybe this was
filmed within the peak of Covid, and that was their workaround? From a technical
perspective, this intrigued me. I had a problem with the usage of the Bigfoot
title, as it’s extremely inaccurate. There isn’t a rationalization as to why this
deformed man with Bigfoot toes and talons is provided that title; that being mentioned,
in the midst of the tip credit, its origin and nods at a doable sequel are
hinted. These followers of the bushy Sasquatch could also be turned off by that
affiliation. Whereas the director reveals fairly a little bit of coronary heart and a few starting
filmmaking expertise, there have been positively some points with the movie. For
instance, the primary two acts are merely set items strung along with little
connection apart from his lust for Heather. It isn’t till the third act that
the story begins to seek out some cohesion into an precise storyline. For me, the
largest drawback was in Wofford’s modifying, as in not sufficient. This is able to
have been a extra stable hour movie: it might use some critical and considered
snipping, particularly early on, such because the way-too-long scene on the river
the place we see somebody fishing and Bigfoot discovering a clown masks within the water. The
movie loses momentum in these moments. Additionally, I might have executed with out the
lingering photographs of fish being gutted and cleaned. That is the director, Erick
Wofford’s first full characteristic movie, however that is actually a household affair as a
variety of the forged and crew is definitely members of his clan, and I’m certain many
others are pals. That’s a sensible monetary transfer and I respect that so much. I
sit up for seeing his expertise develop.

Demented (aka The Demented)
Directed by Nigel
Hartwell
This Canadian movie
falls effectively into the class of torture porn, with a supernatural contact. And in
a particularly micro-budget method. Lovebirds Senica and Amanda go as much as Senica’s
cottage on the lake. After dropping a hoop on her, they spend the evening. When Senica
awakes, Amanda is gone. In response to a police detective (the ever-fun Felissa
Rose), so are her dad and mom. In the meantime, someplace there’s a room the place ladies are
systematically tortured and snuffed for the Darkish Net by a burly man wearing
black, together with a bullet-proof vest, and a leather-based hood. His voice is
digitally manipulated, and actually, I can solely make out about half of what he
says. We watch as he’s a-rapin’ (together with his pants all the way in which on and her
underwear intact) and a-chokin’ and a-tauntin’ his chained-to-a-bed victims.
There may be additionally some enjoying with time, with quite a few flashbacks to varied
durations and current day, making the narrative timeline a bit complicated for a
whereas. In certainly one of these vignettes (previous? current? future?), Amanda is a chainee,
abused by the darkish and mysterious man. Between the patterns of abuse, Amanda is
visited by realizing spirits, who’re helpless to assist her, however talk fairly
simply. Don’t get me incorrect, this supernatural ingredient is definitely what made the
movie for me. The violence in comparison with most torture porn is comparatively gentle and
principally threats (and sure, full-dressed rape). However the guidelines of the movie change
with Amanda. Her accomplishments are the closest this involves empowering
ladies. They’re usually are seen as torture victims and strippers, not
counting that the primary authority determine is the police detective. Misogyny?
Perhaps, but it surely felt good to have these ladies get a few of their umph again,
a variety of good it is going to do them in the long term. There may be nothing actual to speak
about within the blood division. There are some tacky CGI results at a degree,
however I imagine it was meant to be that method. The movie is overlong at 96 minutes,
however there may be simply fairly a bit that might be excised and never lose any of the
story. For instance, the “torment” scenes on for what looks like a very lengthy
time of simply the killer yakking away. Too most of the scenes and photographs –
particularly the punishment ones – additionally simply appear too “samey.” The performing is okay,
although as all the time, Rose simply holds her personal; the 2 most important leads usually don’t
seem like they’re making an attempt too exhausting. There are some actually well-done photographs,
together with some drone work, which was refreshing after some apparent inexperienced display
components. The manufacturing sample is a bit totally different. Many occasions, particularly within the
police station scenes with Rose, it’s fairly apparent that – regardless of some
related motifs on the partitions that I’m fairly certain are green-screened – the
detective and two of the individuals she is interviewing are single photographs and never in
the identical room. It looks as if these interviewed, together with a porn/snuff
supplier, Brad (Canadian wrestling champion Bret Hart), doesn’t know which
course to look, usually off to the incorrect aspect of the place the Detective can be
standing. There may be an nearly amusing second after we hear a personality’s pondering
processes, and it was clearly recorded later in a studio by how effectively it
sounds, but additionally that there’s a remark when the actor clearly by chance
falls in the course of the filming, and the narration goes, “Oh, that damage.” I’m so glad
they put that in. If I had my druthers, I want to see them take this
movie, re-edit it or have somebody apart from the director do it, and see the place
it goes. It has some good potential, and I want to see that fulfilled.
