May not have been the expectations. I wasn't really in the mood for it, just watched cause I was bored and had nothing else new. Got distracted a few times as well.


Last watch=The Prestige

THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY

Poetic, lyrical, brilliant. The camera is fluid, the acting is honest and the story is seemless. I liked the book, I LOVE the film. Schnabel's best film work to date...and I am now expecting briliiance from him every time out. Add Emannuelle Siegner's greatness in both her acting and her song on the soundtrack (and the fact that she's the lead in GIALLO) and it's damn near perfect.

And when they sew his eyelid shut... harrowing!!!!
9.5/10

To the Devil, a Daughter (1976)

>>: C


An American Crime (2007)

An innocent teenage girl (acted by Ellen page) locked in the basement and then tortured (so...recommended for Disease:D ) by a crazy woman and her children, even sometimes the neighborhood friends of her kids also joined with them.....based on a actual events that is quite similar to Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door. I'm not sure but perhaps both films seems like inspired by the same true story.

Play Misty For Me.
Pretty effective chilling film about obsession.

The Cottage....starts off as a kidnap/comedy type flic...works its way into slasher/comedy....not a bad effort at all....I laughed a few times and there was some decent kills as well. 7/10

I think The Girl Next Door was more hard-hitting and below the belt, and had some really outstanding performances.

An American Crime was decent...meh, with plenty of soft blows.

I just with The Girl Next door had more meat, it stayed in the same place story wise for so long that it didn't really work for me. It was vicious though, and even though I didn't love it I wouldn't feel bad suggesting it to people looking for a film like that.
