As is of...It's so good to hear from you, Carl! As is often the case, I initially had an entirely different slate of movies planned, and then impetuously tossed them all and slapped together this slate in about an hour. I'll ultimately edit in the title of the mystery movie after the event, but I might just shoot you a private message to reveal the title early. It's going to be an all or nothing affair. Viewers will either love it - if they allow themselves to get in the right twisted mind set - or hate it. One additional clue for anyone else who may read the comments: the movie was produced for less than $10,000. <br /><br />I bought The Serpent and the Rainbow ages ago to use at an event, and I just never seemed to have an appropriate berth. Seems like the dog days of August will be pretty apropos, and I feel like I need to follow up the PG-13 family oriented horror of Arachnophobia with something a little harder edged to balance the bill. I have a biography of Wes Craven filled with anecdotes of the movie's production, and it's nearly as engrossing as the movie itself. I think it'll be a strong entry.<br /><br />Ironically, I've never really understood the reverence paid to Craven's The Hills Have Eyes,and I felt obliged to opt for the remake because I genuinely believe it's a much stronger movie. I suspect I'm in the minority on that, but I'm almost positive that no one except perhaps Phil will have seen the original to make the comparison. How weird is it that the remake occurred to me almost immediately after slotting Team America? They actually strike me as thematically similar. I'm thinking in particular of the scene with the mutant monologue that takes place in the bombed out testing site. Stopped the movie cold for me the first time I saw it, but it's now one of my favorite scenes. Of course, The Hills Have Eyes also seemed an apt choice for a balmy August evening.<br /><br />Check your old Yahoo InfoZombie email account for the title of the mystery movie...<br />Brandon Earlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428583919973903171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400483117854542409.post-92201179037768870032019-07-10T18:49:54.787-04:002019-07-10T18:49:54.787-04:00Brandon,
Movies at Dog Farm turning eight? Congr...Brandon,<br /><br />Movies at Dog Farm turning eight? Congratulations! Once again you have amassed a series of movies that made me stop and say, I want to see that. Once again, distance prevents me from joining in a collective movie experience under the stars. One day I will be on hand with popcorn and 3-D glasses.<br /><br />When I was in my younger days and _The Serpent and the Rainbow_ debuted, I lived in South Florida. The neighboring Haitian community added to the depth of fear with the film. Also, the "Based on a True Story" card had us all reeling about the fear of a modern day Poe living burial. That movie still sends a shiver or two up my spine. And who doesn't like Bill Pullman?<br /><br />And _Team America: World Police_ could not be any more appropriate at this time.<br /><br />After the event, could you please do a recap so I may find out the secret film?<br /><br />Wishing you an outstanding 8th MADF!<br /><br />Cheers!The Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997408771115328615noreply@blogger.com
