I guess my subtext radar is out of synch. For the record, I think the 'gayest movie ever' is a title that goes to one of David DeCoteau's films.<br /><br />To Lee, I can see your point on them not explaining things. It just bugs me a bit that they set so much up and don't really explain much of it until 'Phantasm III' or 'IV.' If I were a fan of the series then, I would have been pissed. It was about twenty years later when those films came out!Alec Pridgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857871218588846213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788538238831756834.post-68375260980884628262010-06-27T14:41:04.569-04:002010-06-27T14:41:04.569-04:00I think you may want to make a correction: Stuart ...I think you may want to make a correction: Stuart Gordon wrote and directed "Stuck". Otherwise, good review. Saying this series is akin to something Fulci would have made is not far off, I'd say. I had no problem with nothing being explained in this first film in the series, the atmosphere more than makes up for it...it was the sequels that really bogged things down when they made less sense as they went on and created more questions than answers.Lee Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611679296214391643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788538238831756834.post-62418137943550510562010-06-27T11:27:13.333-04:002010-06-27T11:27:13.333-04:00Gayest movie ever made.

I just dont get it, nor do I really want to get it. Way overrated in my book, though Coscarelli's directing skills far exceed his writing skills here.I Like Horror Movieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851268002582984544noreply@blogger.com
