| 12.04.04 | Netflix | I originally saw the made-for-TV remake of this starring the main guy from Revenge of the Nerds. Was 1965 really so different from 2004? If this movie is any indication, I'd have to say yes. The film, marred by a horribly uplifting score, shockingly bad acting, and quite possibly the most civil killer ever, is most unsettling because of the innocence and niavete of the world around it. Assuming prank phone calls were even possible now with caller ID, what kind of girl would call a stranger, flirt with him on the phone, then go and drive to his house to eavesdrop into his window? Even if he wasn't a killer, that's some weird shit. Either Castle played the kids intentionally this stupid to scare parents into a "the movie to watch with your children" situation, or people were actually this innocent once. Scary. |
