02.07.08Terror Thursday AKA Tender Flesh. Speaking of tender, Zack told the touching story behind the making of this film (Laurence Harvey making it once he found out he was going to die and even editing it from his deathbed) in his intro which gave the movie an added layer of interest, which is good because I thought it was mostly pretty slow. I think the one thing I'll take away from this is the line (and I'm probably already not remembering this 100% correctly) "I think he's killing people, GIRL PEOPLE!"

Other than that... eh, I think maybe this movie was harmed by knowing he kills and chops up and maybe eats hippies. If I had no clue then it would kind of be a really bizarre shock but as is it takes a hell of a long time to get to the reveal (the whole movie really) and there's not much else. True, some scenes are pretty uncomfortably weird and I was pretty tired, but for whatever reason I didn't really connect with this one.
